etcd-starter is the starter code to faciliate etcd upgrade in CoreOS image. The main functionality is:
- do binary selection between etcd v0.4 and etcd v2.0 based on the layout of data directory and the content inside wal and snapshot
- modify flag for standby-mode v0.4 etcd, which helps it run on proxy mode
mkdir $GOPATH/src/github.com/coreos
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/coreos
git clone [email protected]:coreos/etcd-starter.git
cd etcd-starter
go build .
Set ETCD_INTERNAL_BINARY_DIR to the internal binary directory, which should
be organized in this way:
ETCD_INTERNAL_BINARY_DIR
├── 1
├── etcd (points to v0.4 etcd binary)
├── 2
├── etcd (points to v2.0 etcd binary)
The default value for ETCD_INTERNAL_BINARY_DIR is "/usr/libexec/etcd/internal_versions/".
Start etcd-starter just like etcd. Here is an example:
$ etcd-starter --name default --data-dir default.etcd
Assume that you have a data directory default.etcd which is used by v0.4 etcd.
You can start it using v0.4 etcd as before:
$ etcd-starter --name default --data-dir default.etcd
When you want to upgrade it to v2.0, trigger it:
$ etcdctl upgrade --peer-urls http://127.0.0.1:7001
etcd will exit after 10 seconds if everything goes well. Restart it using the same command line:
$ etcd-starter --name default --data-dir default.etcd
It will run using v2.0 etcd now.
