OSBuild Composer
|
||
================
|
||
|
||
Operating System Image Composition Services
|
||
|
||
The composer project is a set of HTTP services for composing operating system
|
||
images. It builds on the pipeline execution engine of *osbuild* and defines
|
||
its own class of images that it supports building.
|
||
|
||
Multiple APIs are available to access a composer service. This includes
|
||
support for the [lorax-composer](https://github.com/weldr/lorax) API, and as
|
||
such can serve as drop-in replacement for lorax-composer.
|
||
|
||
You can control a composer instance either directly via the provided APIs, or
|
||
through higher-level user-interfaces from external projects. This, for
|
||
instance, includes a
|
||
[Cockpit Module](https://github.com/osbuild/cockpit-composer) or using the
|
||
[composer-cli](https://weldr.io/lorax/composer-cli.html) command-line tool.

### Principles
|
||
|
||
1. OSBuild Composer shall only allow users to do what generally makes sense.
|
||
2. Blueprints are the policy layer where we decide what to expose to end users.
|
||
3. If a blueprint can be built, it should also boot.
|
||
4. It should be obvious why a blueprint doesn’t build.
|
||
5. The [cloud API](./internal/cloudapi) is never broken.
|
||
6. In the hosted service, OSBuild Composer is an orchestrator of image builds.
|
||
7. On-premises, it should be as easy as possible to run the service and build an image.
|
||
8. OSBuild Composer needs to run on the oldest supported target distribution.

||
### About
|
||
|
||
Composer is a middleman between the workhorses from *osbuild* and the
|
||
user-interfaces like *cockpit-composer*, *composer-cli*, or others. It defines
|
||
a set of high-level image compositions that it supports building. Builds of
|
||
these compositions can be requested via the different APIs of *Composer*, which
|
||
will then translate the requests into pipeline-descriptions for *osbuild*. The
|
||
pipeline output is then either provided back to the user, or uploaded to a user
|
||
specified target.
|
||
|
||
The following image visualizes the overall architecture of the OSBuild
|
||
infrastructure and the place that *Composer* takes:

||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Consult the `osbuild-composer(7)` man-page for an introduction into composer,
|
||
information on running your own composer instance, as well as details on the
|
||
provided infrastructure and services.
|
||
|
||
### Requirements
|
||
|
||
The requirements for this project are:
|
||
|
||
* `osbuild >= 26`
|
||
* `systemd >= 244`
|
||
|
||
At build-time, the following software is required:
|
||
|
||
* `go >= 1.21`
|
||
* `python-docutils >= 0.13`
|
||
* `krb5-devel` for fedora/rhel or `libkrb5-dev` for debian/ubuntu`
|
||
* `btrfs-progs-devel` for fedora/rhel or `libbtrfs-dev` for debian/ubuntu
|
||
* `device-mapper-devel` for fedora/rhel or `libdevmapper-dev` for debian/ubuntu
|
||
* `gpgme-devel` for fedora/rhel or `libgpgme-dev` for debian/ubuntu
|
||
* `rpmdevtools` (only for `make push-check`)
|
||
* `rpmlint` (only for `make push-check`)
|
||
|
||
### Build
|
||
|
||
The standard go package system is used. Consult upstream documentation for
|
||
detailed help. In most situations the following commands are sufficient to
|
||
build and install from source:
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
make build
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
The man-pages require `python-docutils` and can be built via:
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
make man
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Run Tests
|
||
|
||
To run our tests locally just call
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
make unit-tests
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Before pushing something for a pull request you should run this check to avoid problems with required github actions
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
make push-check
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Repository:
|
||
|
||
- **web**: <https://github.com/osbuild/osbuild-composer>
|
||
- **https**: `https://github.com/osbuild/osbuild-composer.git`
|
||
- **ssh**: `git@github.com:osbuild/osbuild-composer.git`
|
||
|
||
### Pull request gating
|
||
|
||
Each pull request against `osbuild-composer` starts a series of automated
|
||
tests. Tests run via GitHub Actions and Jenkins. Each push to the pull request
|
||
will launch theses tests automatically.
|
||
|
||
Jenkins only tests pull requests from members of the `osbuild` organization in
|
||
GitHub. A member of the `osbuild` organization must say `ok to test` in a pull
|
||
request comment to approve testing. Anyone can ask for testing to run by
|
||
saying the bot's favorite word, `schutzbot`, in a pull request comment.
|
||
Testing will begin shortly after the comment is posted.
|
||
|
||
Test results in Jenkins are available by clicking the *Details* link on the
|
||
right side of the Schutzbot check in the pull request page.
