Shutdown of first consul server impedes cleanup of services #5

Open shekhar-jha opened 8 years ago

shekhar-jha commented 8 years ago

In case the consul server which is passed as the initialization option in $CONSUL_SERVER during other server startup is shutdown, there is no way for cleanup at this time. Alternate approaches

  1. Service dependency - s6 is planning to add service dependency which can be used to ensure that local servers are not shutdown before the cleanup has been performed and synchronized.
  2. consul-template - add consul specific consul template which keeps track of all the available consul servers which can then be used by the other services for cleanup.
