# Hacking on osbuild-composer
|
|
|
|
*osbuild-composer* cannot be run from the source tree, but has to be installed
|
|
onto a system. We recommend doing this by building rpms, with:
|
|
|
|
make rpm
|
|
|
|
This will build rpms from the latest git HEAD (remember to commit changes), for
|
|
the current operating system, with a version that contains the commit hash. The
|
|
packages end up in `./rpmbuild/RPMS/$arch`.
|
|
|
|
RPMS are easiest to deal with when they're in a dnf repository. To turn this
|
|
directory into a dnf repository and serve it on localhost:8000, run:
|
|
|
|
createrepo_c ./rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64
|
|
python3 -m http.server --directory ./rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64 8000
|
|
|
|
To start a ephemeral virtual machine using this repository, run:
|
|
|
|
tools/deploy-qemu IMAGE tools/deploy/test
|
|
|
|
`IMAGE` has to be a path to an cloud-init-enabled image matching the host
|
|
operating system, because that's what the packages where built for above.
|
|
Note that the Fedora/RHEL cloud images might be too small for some tests
|
|
to pass. Run `qemu-img resize IMAGE 10G` to grow them, cloud-init's growpart
|
|
module will grow the root partition automatically during boot.
|
|
|
|
The second argument points to a directory from which cloud-init user-data is
|
|
generated (see `tools/gen-user-data` for details). The one given above tries to
|
|
mimick what is run on *osbuild-composer*'s continuous integration
|
|
infrastructure, i.e., installing `osbuild-composer-tests` and starting the
|
|
service.
|
|
|
|
The virtual machine uses qemu's [user networking][1], forwarding port 22 to
|
|
the host's 2222 and 443 to 4430. You can log into the running machine with
|
|
|
|
ssh admin@localhost -p 2222
|
|
|
|
The password is `foobar`. Stopping the machine loses all data.
|
|
|
|
For a quick compile and debug cycle, we recommend iterating code using thorough
|
|
unit tests before going through the full workflow described above.
