Genesis CI Tools.

Genesis CI Tools

Helpful tools for Continuous Integration (CI) of Genesis projects. The tools are based on CLI utilities that simplify interacting with the Genesis installation. The main command is genesis-ci. It allows to create nodes, configs and other entities in the Genesis installations. For example, the genesis-ci nodes list command will list all nodes in the Genesis installation. genesis-ci --help will show all available commands.

📦 Installation

Install required packages:

Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install libev-dev

Fedora:

sudo dnf install libev-devel

Initialize virtual environment with the package:

python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install -e .

🚀 Usage

After installation the genesis-ci command will be available in the terminal. For example, genesis-ci nodes list will list all nodes in the Genesis installation. Below you can find most useful commands:

Create nodes with specified parameters:

genesis-ci -e http://127.0.0.1:11010 -u test -p test nodes add \
    --project-id 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 \
    --image "http://10.20.0.1:8080/genesis-base.raw" \
    --cores 4 \
    --ram 8192 \
    --root-disk 20 \
    --name "my-node"

List nodes:

genesis-ci -e http://127.0.0.1:11010 -u test -p test nodes list

List configs:

genesis-ci -e http://127.0.0.1:11010 -u test -p test configs list

Delete node:

genesis-ci -e http://127.0.0.1:11010 -u test -p test nodes delete 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001

Configs from environment variables

One of the useful feature that need more explanation is the ability to create configs for nodes from environment variables. For this purpose we have genesis-ci configs add-from-env command. There are two formats of configurations that can be used to delivered to the node:

• As environment variables
• As plain text

In the environment variable all values should be placed in single file by path --env-path. To detect such variables the --env-prefix prefix will be used. The default value for this variable is GCT_ENV_. For example, if we have the variable GCT_ENV_FOO=bar it will be add to the config as FOO=bar on the node.

export GCT_ENV_FOO=bar

genesis-ci -e http://127.0.0.1:11010 -u test -p test configs add-from-env \
    --project-id <project-uuid> \
    <node-uuid>

# ... On the node ...

cat /var/lib/genesis/app.env

FOO=bar

Where /var/lib/genesis/app.env is default path. There are two supported formats for the env file: env and json, use option --env-format to set the format.

In the plain text we need to specify at least two variables for path and content.

export GCT_CFG_TEXT_FOO='My content!'
export GCT_CFG_PATH_FOO=/home/my-user/config.txt

genesis-ci -e http://127.0.0.1:11010 -u test -p test configs add-from-env \
    --project-id <project-uuid> \
    <node-uuid>

# ... On the node ...

cat /home/my-user/config.txt

My content!

--cfg-prefix set the prefix for config variables. The default value is GCT_CFG_. Also the content can be decoded from base64. Use --base64 flag to enable it.

💡 Contributing

Contributing to the project is highly appreciated! However, some rules should be followed for successful inclusion of new changes in the project:

• All changes should be done in a separate branch.
• Changes should include not only new functionality or bug fixes, but also tests for the new code.
• After the changes are completed and tested, a Pull Request should be created with a clear description of the new functionality. And add one of the project maintainers as a reviewer.
• Changes can be merged only after receiving an approve from one of the project maintainers.
