### Motivation & problem statement As recommended in [Intel Linux SGX repo.](https://github.com/intel/linux-sgx), the aesmd service is to be built and run as a [containerized service](https://github.com/intel/linux-sgx/blob/master/docker/build/build_and_run_aesm_docker.sh#L41). it created a [named volume](https://github.com/intel/linux-sgx/blob/8abc6dd8cb44e3cef8294c508e77803ffeb8ed12/docker/build/build_and_run_aesm_docker.sh#L36) `aesmd-socket` that should be mounted into `/var/run/aesmd` folder in relying container.
However, the docker compose files in Teaclave are using the following stanza to mount host based aesmd socket ![stanze_aemd_mount](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/10856796/133334968-9e3bbafd-dab9-45f1-b22b-022e65da92d7.png) That causes the following failure when starting with any docker compose files. ![aesmd_socket_notfound](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/10856796/133333373-58071e70-52b2-4b36-a932-6d367ae339da.png) ### Proposed solution I propose a solution to address this problems to streamline the usage of Teaclave services coordinated with containerized aesmd service through docker compose. the solution requires to introduce the following changes to Teaclave docker compose files and associated documents. - Remove the following configuration from all docker compose files for all services (3 files) ``` - type: bind source: /var/run/aesmd/aesm.socket target: /var/run/aesmd/aesm.socket ``` 1. docker-compose-ubuntu-1804-intel-sgx.yml 2. docker-compose-ubuntu-1804-isgx.yml 3. docker-compose-ubuntu-1804.yml - Add the following override compose files for host based aesmd socket bind mount for every services 1. docker-compose-ubuntu-1804-intel-sgx-with-host-aesmd-socket.yml 2. docker-compose-ubuntu-1804-isgx-with-host-aesmd-socket.yml 3. docker-compose-ubuntu-1804-with-host-aesmd-socket.yml with the following bind mount configuration ``` - type: bind source: /var/run/aesmd/aesm.socket target: /var/run/aesmd/aesm.socket ``` - Add the following override compose files for containerized aesmd socket volume mount for every services 1. docker-compose-ubuntu-1804-intel-sgx-with-aesmd-socket-volume.yml 2. docker-compose-ubuntu-1804-isgx-with-aesmd-socket-volume.yml 3. docker-compose-ubuntu-1804-with-aesmd-socket-volume.yml ``` - aesmd-socket:/var/run/aesmd ``` In addition, the README.md should be updated accordingly.
