We now store the mapped ports returned by Nomad locally in our runner
struct and return them when requesting the runner. The returned ip
address is in most Nomad setups not reachable from external users.
Previously, low level Nomad job creation was done in the environment manager.
It used many functions of the nomad package so we felt like this logic
better belongs to the nomad package.
As we can't control which allocations are destroyed when downscaling a job, we decided
to use Nomad jobs as our runners. Thus for each runner we prewarm for an environment,
a corresponding job is created in Nomad. We create a default job that serves as a template
for the runners. Using this, already existing execution environments can easily be restored,
once Poseidon is restarted.
When running a command interactively, we previously would get stdout
and stderr both served on stdout by Nomad. To circumvent this issue,
we now start a separate execution inside the allocation to split
both streams.
This enables executing commands in runners and forwarding input and
output between the runner and the websocket to the client.
