Introduction
============
This document describes the build system used to build the Fuel deployment tool for the Brahmaputra release of OPNFV, required dependencies and minimum requirements on the host to be used for the buildsystem.
The Fuel build system is desigened around Docker containers such that dependencies outside of the build system can be kept to a minimum. It also shields the host from any potential dangerous operations performed by the build system.
The audience of this document is assumed to have good knowledge in network and Unix/Linux administration.
Requirements
============
Minimum Hardware Requirements
-----------------------------
- An x86_64 host (Bare-metal or VM) with Ubuntu 14.04 LTS installed
- ~30 GB available disc
- 4 GB RAM
Minimum Software Requirements
-----------------------------
The build host should run Ubuntu 14.04 operating system.
On the host, the following packages must be installed:
- docker - see https://docs.docker.com/installation/ubuntulinux/ for installation notes for Ubuntu 14.04. Note: only use the Ubuntu stock distro of Docker (docker.io)
- git (simply available through sudo apt-get install git)
- make (simply available through sudo apt-get install make)
- curl (simply available through sudo apt-get install curl)
Preparations
------------
Setting up the Docker build container
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After having installed Docker, add yourself to the docker group:
<usermod -a -G docker [userid]>
Also make sure to define relevant DNS servers part of the global dns chain in
in your </etc/default/docker> configuration file, for example:
<DOCKER_OPTS=" --dns=8.8.8.8 --dns=8.8.8.4">
Then restart docker:
<sudo service docker.io restart>
Setting up OPNFV Gerrit in order to being able to clone the code
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Start setting up OPNFV gerrit by creating a SSH key (unless you don't already have one), create one with ssh-keygen
- Add your generated public key in OPNFV Gerrit <https://gerrit.opnfv.org/>
(this requires a linuxfoundation account, create one if you do not already have one)
- Select "SSH Public Keys" to the left and then "Add Key" and paste your public key in.
Clone the OPNFV code Git repository with your SSH key
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now it is time to clone the code repository:
<git clone ssh://'Linux foundation user'@gerrit.opnfv.org:29418/fuel>
Now you should have the OPNFV fuel repository with the Fuel directories stored locally on your build host.
Check out the Brahmaputra release:
<cd fuel>
<git checkout insert-b-release-tag-here0>
Clone the OPNFV code Git repository without a SSH key
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You can also opt to clone the code repository without a SSH key:
<git clone https://gerrit.opnfv.org:29418/gerrit/fuel>
Make sure to checkout the release tag as described above.
Building
========
There are two methods available for building Fuel:
- A low level method using Make
- An abstracted method using build.sh
Support for building behind a http/https/rsync proxy
----------------------------------------------------
The build system is able to make use of a web proxy setup if the
http_proxy, https_proxy, no_proxy (if needed) and RSYNC_PROXY or
RSYNC_CONNECT_PROG environment variables have been set before invoking make.
The proxy setup must permit port 80 (http), 443 (https) and 873
(rsync).
Important note about the host Docker daemon settings
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Docker daemon on the host must be configured to use the http proxy
for it to be able to pull the base Ubuntu 14.04 image from the Docker
registry before invoking make! In Ubuntu this is done by adding a line
like:
export http_proxy="http://10.0.0.1:8888/"
to /etc/default/docker and restarting the Docker daemon.
Setting proxy environment variables prior to build
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The build system will make use the following environment variables
that needs to be exported to subshells by using export (bash) or
setenv (csh/tcsh).
| http_proxy (or HTTP_PROXY)
| https_proxy (or HTTP_PROXY)
| no_proxy (or NO_PROXY)
| RSYNC_PROXY
| RSYNC_CONNECT_PROG
As an example, these are the settings that were put in the user's
.bashrc when verifying the proxy build functionality:
| export RSYNC_PROXY=10.0.0.1:8888
| export http_proxy=http://10.0.0.1:8888
| export https_proxy=http://10.0.0.1:8888
| export no_proxy=localhost,127.0.0.1,.consultron.com,.sock
Using a ssh proxy for the rsync connection
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If the proxy setup is not allowing the rsync protocol, an alternative
solution is to use a SSH tunnel to a machine capable of accessing the
outbound port 873. Set the RSYNC_CONNECT_PROG according to the rsync
manual page (for example to "ssh <username>@<hostname> nc %H 873") to enable
this. Also note that netcat needs to be installed on the remote
system!
Make sure that the ssh command also refers to the user on the remote
system, as the command itself will be run from the Docker build container
as the root user (but with the invoking user's SSH keys).
Disabling the Ubuntu repo cache if rsync is not allowed
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
During the build phase, a local Ubuntu package repository is fetched
from upstream in order to be added to the OPNFV Fuel ISO and for parts
of this process rsync is used.
If neither of the two available methods for proxying rsync are
available, the last resort is to turn off the caching of the Ubuntu
packages in the build system. This is done by removing the
"f_repobuild" from SUBDIRS in the beginning of
the fuel/build/f_isoroot/Makefile.
Note! Doing this will require the Fuel master node to have Internet
access when installing the ISO artifact built as no Ubuntu package
cache will be on the ISO!
Configure your build environment
-------------------------------------
** Configuring the build environment should not be performed if building standard Brahmaputra release **
Select the versions of the components you want to build by editing the fuel/build/config.mk file.
Low level build method using make
---------------------------------
The low level method is based on Make:
From the <fuel/build> directory, invoke <make [target]>
Following targets exist:
- none/all - this will:
- If not already existing, initialize the docker build environment
- If not already done, build OpenDaylight from upstream (as defined by fuel-build config-spec)
- If not already done, build fuel from upstream (as defined by fuel-build/config-spec)
- Build the defined additions to fuel (as defined by the structure of this framework)
- Apply changes and patches to fuel (as defined by the structure of this framework)
- Reconstruct a fuel .iso image
- clean - this will remove all artifacts from earlier builds.
If the build is successful, you will find the generated ISO file in the <fuel/build/release> subdirectory!
Abstracted build method using build.sh
======================================
The abstracted build method uses the <fuel/ci/build.sh> script which allows you to:
- Create and use a build cache - significantly speeding up the buildtime if upstream repositories have not changed.
- push/pull cache and artifacts to an arbitrary URI (http(s):, file:, ftp:)
For more info type <fuel/ci/build.sh -h>.
Artifacts
=========
The artifacts produced are:
- <OPNFV_XXXX.iso> - Which represents the bootable Fuel image, XXXX is replaced with the build identity provided to the build system
- <OPNFV_XXXX.iso.txt> - Which holds version metadata.
