Moby works perfectly when you are in a situation when one has a good and stable
internet connection. Operating in area's where internet connectivity is likely
to be lost in undetermined intervals, like a satellite connection or 4G/LTE in
rural area's, can become a problem when pulling a new image. When connection is
lost while image layers are being pulled, Moby will try to reconnect up to 5 times.
If this fails, the incompletely downloaded layers are lost will need to be completely
downloaded again during the next pull request. This means that we are using more
data than we might have to.
Pulling a layer multiple times from the start can become costly over a satellite
or 4G/LTE connection. As these techniques (especially 4G) quite common in IoT and
Moby is used to run Azure IoT Edge devices, I would like to add a settable maximum
download attempts. The maximum download attempts is currently set at 5
(distribution/xfer/download.go). I would like to change this constant to a variable
that the user can set. The default will still be 5, so nothing will change from
the current version unless specified when starting the daemon with the added flag
or in the config file.
I added a default value of 5 for DefaultMaxDownloadAttempts and a settable
max-download-attempts in the daemon config file. It is also added to the config
of dockerd so it can be set with a flag when starting the daemon. This value gets
stored in the imageService of the daemon when it is initiated and can be passed
to the NewLayerDownloadManager as a parameter. It will be stored in the
LayerDownloadManager when initiated. This enables us to set the max amount of
retries in makeDownoadFunc equal to the max download attempts.
I also added some tests that are based on maxConcurrentDownloads/maxConcurrentUploads.
You can pull this version and test in a development container. Either create a config
`file /etc/docker/daemon.json` with `{"max-download-attempts"=3}``, or use
`dockerd --max-download-attempts=3 -D &` to start up the dockerd. Start downloading
a container and disconnect from the internet whilst downloading. The result would
be that it stops pulling after three attempts.

The Moby Project
Moby is an open-source project created by Docker to enable and accelerate software containerization.
It provides a "Lego set" of toolkit components, the framework for assembling them into custom container-based systems, and a place for all container enthusiasts and professionals to experiment and exchange ideas. Components include container build tools, a container registry, orchestration tools, a runtime and more, and these can be used as building blocks in conjunction with other tools and projects.
Principles
Moby is an open project guided by strong principles, aiming to be modular, flexible and without too strong an opinion on user experience. It is open to the community to help set its direction.
- Modular: the project includes lots of components that have well-defined functions and APIs that work together.
- Batteries included but swappable: Moby includes enough components to build fully featured container system, but its modular architecture ensures that most of the components can be swapped by different implementations.
- Usable security: Moby provides secure defaults without compromising usability.
- Developer focused: The APIs are intended to be functional and useful to build powerful tools. They are not necessarily intended as end user tools but as components aimed at developers. Documentation and UX is aimed at developers not end users.
Audience
The Moby Project is intended for engineers, integrators and enthusiasts looking to modify, hack, fix, experiment, invent and build systems based on containers. It is not for people looking for a commercially supported system, but for people who want to work and learn with open source code.
Relationship with Docker
The components and tools in the Moby Project are initially the open source components that Docker and the community have built for the Docker Project. New projects can be added if they fit with the community goals. Docker is committed to using Moby as the upstream for the Docker Product. However, other projects are also encouraged to use Moby as an upstream, and to reuse the components in diverse ways, and all these uses will be treated in the same way. External maintainers and contributors are welcomed.
The Moby project is not intended as a location for support or feature requests for Docker products, but as a place for contributors to work on open source code, fix bugs, and make the code more useful. The releases are supported by the maintainers, community and users, on a best efforts basis only, and are not intended for customers who want enterprise or commercial support; Docker EE is the appropriate product for these use cases.
