Description

Hook-bootkit requires a network connection to pull down the tink-worker image. The previous solution was to make sure networking was up and running via a DHCP client in the linuxkit "onboot" section. This meant that any issues with the DHCP onboot container would cause the getty, and all services, to never start. This made troubleshooting nearly impossible.

This PR makes Hook-bootkit (and hook-docker) retry all failures. This allows us to remove the DHCP "onboot" container. This should allow the getty service to always start.

Why is this needed

Fixes: #

How Has This Been Tested?

How are existing users impacted? What migration steps/scripts do we need?

Checklist:

I have:

  • updated the documentation and/or roadmap (if required)
  • added unit or e2e tests
  • provided instructions on how to upgrade

The alpine image (instead of scratch) so that we
can run commands inside the container for troubleshooting.

Zerolog stack traces weren't providing enough
detail and had a indirect dependency on an
archived library (pkg/errors).

The docker logs output for the pull image command will
be properly structured now.

Hey @chrisdoherty4 , thanks for the review. JFYI, this is just a refactor step. There is still much more work to be done. I will follow in the future with more refactoring.
