Flexible software building recipe.

Project description

slapos.recipe.build

The default recipe can be used to execute ad-hoc Python code at init/install/update phases. install must create the path pointed to by location (default is ${buildout:parts-directory}/${:_buildout_section_name_}) and any other file system change is not tracked by buildout. install defaults to update, in which case location is ignored.

Example that installs software:

[buildout]
parts =
  script

[script]
recipe = slapos.recipe.build
slapos_promise =
  directory:include
  file:share/man/man1/foo.1
  statlib:lib/libfoo.a
  statlib:lib/libfoo.la
  dynlib:bin/foo linked:libbar.so.1,libc.so.6,libfoo.so.1 rpath:${bar:location}/lib,!/lib
url = http://host/path/foo.tar.gz
md5sum = ...
install =
  extract_dir = self.extract(self.download())
  self.copyTree(guessworkdir(extract_dir), location)
  ${:update}
update =
  ...

Using the init option:

[section-one]
recipe = slapos.recipe.build
init =
  import platform
  options['foo'] = platform.uname()[4]

[section-two]
bar = ${section-one:foo}

In case of error, a proper traceback is displayed and nothing is installed:

>>> write(sample_buildout, 'buildout.cfg', """
... [buildout]
... parts = script
...
... [script]
... recipe = slapos.recipe.build
... install =
...   import os
...   os.mkdir(location)
...   print(1 / 0.) # this is an error !
... """)

>>> print(system(buildout))
Installing script.
While:
  Installing script.
<BLANKLINE>
An internal error occurred due to a bug in either zc.buildout or in a
recipe being used:
Traceback (most recent call last):

    print(1 / 0.) # this is an error !
          ~~^~~~

>>> ls(sample_buildout, 'parts')
<BLANKLINE>

option: environment

Customizing environment variables can be easier with the this option. Values are expanded with Python %-dict formatting, using os.environ. The resulting environ dict is computed on first access of self.environ. Environment variables can be either inlined:

>>> base = """
... [buildout]
... parts = script
...
... [script]
... recipe = slapos.recipe.build
... update =
...   import os
...   os.environ["FOO"] = "1"
...   print("%(FOO)s %(BAR)s" % self.environ)
...   os.environ["FOO"] = "2"
...   print("%(FOO)s %(BAR)s" % self.environ)
... """
>>> write(sample_buildout, 'buildout.cfg', base + """
... environment =
...   BAR=%(FOO)s:%%
... """)
>>> print(system(buildout))
Installing script.
script: [ENV] BAR = 1:%
1 1:%
1 1:%

or put inside a separate section:

>>> write(sample_buildout, 'buildout.cfg', base + """
... environment = env
... [env]
... BAR=%(FOO)s:%%
... """)
>>> print(system(buildout))
Uninstalling script.
Installing script.
script: [ENV] BAR = 1:%
1 1:%
1 1:%

This option works the same way in other recipes that support it, in which case the resulting environ dict is computed at install/update.

option: shared

Boolean (false by default, or true), this option specifies that the part can be installed in a shared mode. This is enabled if paths are listed in the shared-part-list option of the [buildout] section: the location of the part is <one of shared-part-list>/<part name>/<hash of options> and it contains a signature file .buildout-shared.json.

install option is required:

>>> del MD5SUM[:]
>>> base = """
... [buildout]
... parts = script
... shared-part-list =
...   ${:directory}/shared1
...   ${:directory}/shared2
...
... [script]
... recipe = slapos.recipe.build
... shared = true
... """
>>> write(sample_buildout, 'buildout.cfg', base + """
... init = pass
... """)
>>> print(system(buildout))
script: shared at .../shared2/script/<MD5SUM:0>
While:
  Installing.
  Getting section script.
  Initializing section script.
Error: When shared=true, option 'install' must be set

update option is incompatible:

>>> base += """
... install =
...   import os
...   os.makedirs(os.path.join(location, 'foo'))
...   print("directory created")
... """
>>> write(sample_buildout, 'buildout.cfg', base)
>>> print(system(buildout + ' script:update=pass'))
script: shared at .../shared2/script/<MD5SUM:1>
While:
  Installing.
  Getting section script.
  Initializing section script.
Error: When shared=true, option 'update' can't be set

A shared part is installed in the last folder that is listed by shared-part-list:

>>> print(system(buildout))
script: shared at .../shared2/script/<MD5SUM:2>
Uninstalling script.
Installing script.
directory created
>>> shared = 'shared2/script/' + MD5SUM[2]
>>> ls(shared)
-  .buildout-shared.json
l  .buildout-shared.signature
d  foo

.buildout-shared.signature is only there for backward compatibility.

Uninstalling the part leaves the shared part available:

>>> print(system(buildout + ' buildout:parts='))
Uninstalling script.
Unused options for buildout: 'shared-part-list'.
>>> ls(shared)
-  .buildout-shared.json
l  .buildout-shared.signature
d  foo

And reinstalling is instantaneous:

>>> print(system(buildout))
script: shared at .../shared2/script/<MD5SUM:2>
Installing script.
script: shared part is already installed

Setting location option is incompatible:

>>> write(sample_buildout, 'buildout.cfg', base + """
... init =
...   import os
...   options['location'] = os.path.join(
...     self.buildout['buildout']['parts-directory'], 'foo')
... """)
>>> print(system(buildout))
script: shared at .../shared2/script/<MD5SUM:3>
While:
  Installing.
  Getting section script.
  Initializing section script.
Error: When shared=true, option 'location' can't be set

option: location

If empty or unset, the value is initialized automatically according to rules defined above (shared option), and before the init code is executed. This way, it’s possible to initialize other values of the section depending on the actual value of location.

If not shared, the value can be customized in init. This is actually the only way to empty location, which is useful if there’s nothing file/directory to track but you need to distinguish install from update:

>>> write(sample_buildout, 'buildout.cfg', """
... [buildout]
... parts = script
...
... [script]
... recipe = slapos.recipe.build
... init =
...   options['location'] = ''
... install =
...   print("install")
... update =
...   print("update")
... """)

>>> print(system(buildout))
Uninstalling script.
Installing script.
install
>>> print(system(buildout))
Updating script.
update
>>> cat('.installed.cfg')
[buildout]
...
[script]
__buildout_installed__ =
__buildout_signature__ = ...

If install & update run the same code, install can be unset (or empty) and you can ignore location.

slapos.recipe.build:download

Simplest usage is to only specify a URL:

>>> base = """
... [buildout]
... parts = download
...
... [download]
... recipe = slapos.recipe.build:download
... url = https://lab.nexedi.com/nexedi/slapos.recipe.build/raw/master/MANIFEST.in
... """
>>> write(sample_buildout, 'buildout.cfg', base)
>>> print(system(buildout))
Uninstalling script.
Installing download.
Downloading ...
>>> ls('parts/download')
-  download

The file is downloaded to parts/<section_name>/<section_name>.

Because the destination file may be hardlinked (e.g. download from cache or from local file), it shall not be modified in-place without first making sure that st_nlink is 1.

option: filename

In the part folder, the filename can be customized:

>>> write(sample_buildout, 'buildout.cfg', base + """
... filename = somefile
... """)
>>> print(system(buildout))
Uninstalling download.
Installing download.
Downloading ...
>>> ls('parts/download')
-  somefile

When an MD5 checksum is not given, updating the part downloads the file again:

>>> remove('parts/download/somefile')
>>> print(system(buildout))
Updating download.
Downloading ...
>>> ls('parts/download')
-  somefile

option: destination

Rather than having a file inside a part folder, a full path can be given:

>>> write(sample_buildout, 'buildout.cfg', base + """
... destination = ${buildout:parts-directory}/somepath
... """)
>>> print(system(buildout))
Uninstalling download.
Installing download.
Downloading ...
>>> ls('parts')
-  somepath

option: target

In any case, path to download file is exposed by the target option:

>>> cat('.installed.cfg')
[buildout]
...
[download]
__buildout_installed__ = .../parts/somepath
__buildout_signature__ = ...
destination = .../parts/somepath
recipe = slapos.recipe.build:download
target = .../parts/somepath
url = ...

option: md5sum

An MD5 checksum can be specified to check the contents:

>>> base += """
... md5sum = b90c12a875df544907bc84d9c7930653
... """
>>> write(sample_buildout, 'buildout.cfg', base)
>>> print(system(buildout))
Uninstalling download.
Installing download.
Downloading ...
>>> ls('parts/download')
-  download

In such case, updating the part does nothing:

>>> remove('parts/download/download')
>>> print(system(buildout))
Updating download.
>>> ls('parts/download')

In case of checksum mismatch:

>>> print(system(buildout
... + ' download:md5sum=00000000000000000000000000000000'
... ))
Uninstalling download.
Installing download.
Downloading ...
While:
  Installing download.
Error: MD5 checksum mismatch downloading '...'
>>> ls('parts')

option: offline

Boolean option that can be specified to override ${buildout:offline}.

option: alternate-url

Alternate URL. If supported by Buildout, it is used as fallback if the main URL (url option) fails at HTTP level.

Useful when a version of a resource can only be downloaded with a temporary URL as long as it’s the last version, and this version is then moved to a permanent place when a newer version is released: url shall be the final URL and alternate-url the temporary one.

option: shared

Works like the default recipe. Constraints on options are:

  • md5sum option is required

  • destination option is incompatible

Example:

>>> del MD5SUM[4:] # drop added values since previous shared test
>>> write(sample_buildout, 'buildout.cfg', base + """
... shared = true
...
... [buildout]
... shared-part-list =
...   ${:directory}/shared
... """)
>>> print(system(buildout))
download: shared at .../shared/download/<MD5SUM:4>
Installing download.
Downloading ...
>>> shared = 'shared/download/' + MD5SUM[4]
>>> ls(shared)
-  .buildout-shared.json
l  .buildout-shared.signature
-  download

slapos.recipe.build:download-unpacked

Downloads and extracts an archive. In addition to format that setuptools is able to extract, XZ & lzip compression are also supported if xzcat & lunzip executables are available.

By default, the archive is extracted to parts/<section_name> and a single directory at the root of the archive is stripped:

>>> URL = "https://lab.nexedi.com/nexedi/slapos.recipe.build/-/archive/master/slapos.recipe.build-master.tar.gz?path=slapos/recipe/build"
>>> base = """
... [buildout]
... download-cache = download-cache
... parts = download
...
... [download]
... recipe = slapos.recipe.build:download-unpacked
... url = %s
... """ % URL
>>> write(sample_buildout, 'buildout.cfg', base)
>>> print(system(buildout))
Creating directory '.../download-cache'.
Uninstalling download.
Installing download.
Downloading ...
>>> ls('parts/download')
d  slapos

The download cache will avoid to download the same tarball several times.

option: destination

Similar to download recipe:

>>> write(sample_buildout, 'buildout.cfg', base + """
... destination = ${buildout:parts-directory}/somepath
... """)
>>> print(system(buildout))
Uninstalling download.
Installing download.
>>> ls('parts/somepath')
d  slapos

option: target

Like for download recipe, the installation path of the part is exposed by the target option:

>>> cat('.installed.cfg')
[buildout]
...
[download]
__buildout_installed__ = .../parts/somepath
__buildout_signature__ = ...
destination = .../parts/somepath
recipe = slapos.recipe.build:download-unpacked
target = .../parts/somepath
url = ...

option: strip-top-level-dir

Stripping can be enforced:

>>> print(system(buildout + ' download:strip-top-level-dir=true'))
Uninstalling download.
Installing download.
>>> ls('parts/somepath')
d  slapos

Or disabled:

>>> print(system(buildout + ' download:strip-top-level-dir=false'))
Uninstalling download.
Installing download.
>>> ls('parts/somepath')
d  slapos.recipe.build-master-slapos-recipe-build

option: md5sum

An MD5 checksum can be specified to check the downloaded file, like for the download recipe. However, if unset, updating the part does nothing.

option: alternate-url

See the download recipe.

option: environment

Like for the default recipe, environment variables can be customized, here for xzcat & lunzip subprocesses (e.g. PATH).

option: shared

Works like the default recipe. The only constraint on options is that the destination option is incompatible.

Example:

>>> del MD5SUM[5:] # drop added values since previous shared test
>>> write(sample_buildout, 'buildout.cfg', """
... [buildout]
... download-cache = download-cache
... parts = download
... shared-part-list = ${:directory}/shared
...
... [download]
... recipe = slapos.recipe.build:download-unpacked
... url = %s
... shared = true
... """ % URL)
>>> print(system(buildout))
download: shared at .../shared/download/<MD5SUM:5>
Uninstalling download.
Installing download.

slapos.recipe.build:gitclone

Checkout a git repository and its submodules by default. Supports slapos.libnetworkcache if present, and if boolean ‘use-cache’ option is true.

Examples

Those examples use slapos.recipe.build repository as an example.

Simple clone

Only repository parameter is required. For each buildout run, the recipe will pick up the latest commit on the remote master branch:

>>> write(sample_buildout, 'buildout.cfg',
... """
... [buildout]
... parts = git-clone
...
... [git-clone]
... recipe = slapos.recipe.build:gitclone
... repository = https://lab.nexedi.com/nexedi/slapos.recipe.build.git
... use-cache = true
... """)

This will clone the git repository in parts/git-clone directory. Then let’s run the buildout:

>>> print(system(buildout))
Uninstalling download.
Installing git-clone.
Cloning into '/sample-buildout/parts/git-clone'...

Let’s take a look at the buildout parts directory now:

>>> ls(sample_buildout, 'parts')
d git-clone

When updating, it will do a “git fetch; git reset @{upstream}”:

>>> print(system(buildout))
Updating git-clone.
Fetching origin
HEAD is now at ...

Specific branch

You can specify a specific branch using branch option. For each run it will take the latest commit on this remote branch:

>>> write(sample_buildout, 'buildout.cfg',
... """
... [buildout]
... parts = git-clone
...
... [git-clone]
... recipe = slapos.recipe.build:gitclone
... repository = https://lab.nexedi.com/nexedi/slapos.recipe.build.git
... branch = build_remove_downloaded_files
... """)

Then let’s run the buildout:

>>> print(system(buildout))
Uninstalling git-clone.
Running uninstall recipe.
Installing git-clone.
Cloning into '/sample-buildout/parts/git-clone'...

Let’s take a look at the buildout parts directory now:

>>> ls(sample_buildout, 'parts')
d git-clone

And let’s see that current branch is “build”:

>>> import subprocess
>>> cd('parts', 'git-clone')
>>> print(subprocess.check_output(['git', 'branch'], universal_newlines=True))
* build_remove_downloaded_files

When updating, it will do a “git fetch; git reset build”:

>>> cd(sample_buildout)
>>> print(system(buildout))
Updating git-clone.
Fetching origin
HEAD is now at ...

Specific revision

You can specify a specific commit hash or tag using revision option. This option has priority over the “branch” option:

>>> cd(sample_buildout)
>>> write(sample_buildout, 'buildout.cfg',
... """
... [buildout]
... parts = git-clone
...
... [git-clone]
... recipe = slapos.recipe.build:gitclone
... repository = https://lab.nexedi.com/nexedi/slapos.recipe.build.git
... revision = 2566127
... """)

Then let’s run the buildout:

>>> print(system(buildout))
Uninstalling git-clone.
Running uninstall recipe.
Installing git-clone.
Cloning into '/sample-buildout/parts/git-clone'...
HEAD is now at 2566127 ...

Let’s take a look at the buildout parts directory now:

>>> ls(sample_buildout, 'parts')
d git-clone

And let’s see that current revision is “2566127”:

>>> import subprocess
>>> cd(sample_buildout, 'parts', 'git-clone')
>>> print(subprocess.check_output(['git', 'rev-parse', '--short', 'HEAD'], universal_newlines=True))
2566127

When updating, it shouldn’t do anything as revision is mentioned:

>>> cd(sample_buildout)
>>> print(system(buildout))
Updating git-clone.

Empty revision/branch

Specifying an empty revision or an empty branch will make buildout ignore those values as if it was not present at all (allowing to easily extend an existing section specifying a branch):

>>> cd(sample_buildout)
>>> write(sample_buildout, 'buildout.cfg',
... """
... [buildout]
... parts = git-clone
...
... [git-clone-with-branch]
... recipe = slapos.recipe.build:gitclone
... repository = https://lab.nexedi.com/nexedi/slapos.recipe.build.git
... revision = 2566127
...
... [git-clone]
... <= git-clone-with-branch
... revision =
... branch = master
... """)

>>> print(system(buildout))
Uninstalling git-clone.
Running uninstall recipe.
Installing git-clone.
Cloning into '/sample-buildout/parts/git-clone'...

>>> cd(sample_buildout, 'parts', 'git-clone')
>>> print(system('git branch'))
* master

Revision/branch priority

If both revision and branch parameters are set, revision parameters is used and branch parameter is ignored:

>>> cd(sample_buildout)
>>> write(sample_buildout, 'buildout.cfg',
... """
... [buildout]
... parts = git-clone
...
... [git-clone]
... recipe = slapos.recipe.build:gitclone
... repository = https://lab.nexedi.com/nexedi/slapos.recipe.build.git
... branch = mybranch
... revision = 2566127
... """)

>>> print(system(buildout))
Uninstalling git-clone.
Running uninstall recipe.
Installing git-clone.
Warning: "branch" parameter with value "mybranch" is ignored. Checking out to revision 2566127...
Cloning into '/sample-buildout/parts/git-clone'...
HEAD is now at 2566127 ...

>>> cd(sample_buildout, 'parts', 'git-clone')
>>> print(system('git branch'))
* master

Setup a “develop” repository

If you need to setup a repository that will be manually altered over time for development purposes, you need to make sure buildout will NOT alter it and NOT erase your local modifications by specifying the “develop” flag:

[buildout]
parts = git-clone

[git-clone]
recipe = slapos.recipe.build:gitclone
repository = https://example.net/example.git/
develop = true

>>> cd(sample_buildout)
>>> write(sample_buildout, 'buildout.cfg',
... """
... [buildout]
... parts = git-clone
...
... [git-clone]
... recipe = slapos.recipe.build:gitclone
... repository = https://lab.nexedi.com/nexedi/slapos.recipe.build.git
... develop = true
... """)

>>> print(system(buildout))
Uninstalling git-clone.
Running uninstall recipe.
Installing git-clone.
Cloning into '/sample-buildout/parts/git-clone'...

Buildout will then keep local modifications, instead of resetting the repository:

>>> cd(sample_buildout, 'parts', 'git-clone')
>>> print(system('echo foo > setup.py'))

>>> cd(sample_buildout)
>>> print(system(buildout))
Updating git-clone.

>>> cd(sample_buildout, 'parts', 'git-clone')
>>> print(system('cat setup.py'))
foo

Then, when update occurs, nothing is done:

>>> cd(sample_buildout, 'parts', 'git-clone')
>>> print(system('echo kept > local_change'))

>>> print(system('git remote add broken http://git.erp5.org/repos/nowhere'))
...

>>> cd(sample_buildout)
>>> print(system(buildout))
Updating git-clone.

>>> cd(sample_buildout, 'parts', 'git-clone')
>>> print(system('cat local_change'))
kept

In case of uninstall, buildout will keep the repository directory:

>>> cd(sample_buildout)
>>> write(sample_buildout, 'buildout.cfg',
... """
... [buildout]
... parts = git-clone
...
... [git-clone]
... recipe = slapos.recipe.build:gitclone
... repository = https://lab.nexedi.com/nexedi/slapos.recipe.build.git
... develop = true
... # Triggers uninstall/install because of section signature change
... foo = bar
... """)

>>> print(system(buildout))
Uninstalling git-clone.
Running uninstall recipe.
You have uncommitted changes in /sample-buildout/parts/git-clone. This folder will be left as is.
Installing git-clone.
destination directory already exists.
...
<BLANKLINE>

Specific git binary

The default git command is git, if for a any reason you don’t have git in your path, you can specify git binary path with git-command option.

Ignore SSL certificate

By default, when remote server use SSL protocol git checks if the SSL certificate of the remote server is valid before executing commands. You can force git to ignore this check using ignore-ssl-certificate boolean option:

[buildout]
parts = git-clone

[git-clone]
recipe = slapos.recipe.build:gitclone
repository = https://example.net/example.git/
ignore-ssl-certificate = true

Ignore cloning submodules

By default, cloning the repository will clone its submodules also. You can force git to ignore cloning submodules by defining ignore-cloning-submodules boolean option to ‘true’:

[buildout]
parts = git-clone

[git-clone]
recipe = slapos.recipe.build:gitclone
repository = https://lab.nexedi.com/tiwariayush/test_erp5
ignore-cloning-submodules = true

Other options

depth

Clone with --depth=<depth> option. See git-clone command.

shared

Clone with --shared option if true. See git-clone command.

sparse-checkout

The value of the sparse-checkout option is written to the $GITDIR/info/sparse-checkout file, which is used to populate the working directory sparsely. See the SPARSE CHECKOUT section of git-read-tree command. This feature is disabled if the value is empty or unset.

Full example

[buildout]
parts = git-clone

[git-binary]
recipe = hexagonit.recipe.cmmi
url = http://git-core.googlecode.com/files/git-1.7.12.tar.gz

[git-clone]
recipe = slapos.recipe.build:gitclone
repository = http://example.net/example.git/
git-command = ${git-binary:location}/bin/git
revision = 0123456789abcdef

slapos.recipe.build:vm.*

This is a set of recipes to build Virtual Machine images and execute commands inside them. They rely on QEMU and OpenSSH: executables are found via the PATH environment variable. They do nothing on update.

Common options

location

Folder where the recipe stores any produced file. Default: ${buildout:parts-directory}/<section_name>

environment

Extra environment to spawn executables. See the default recipe.

mem

Python expression evaluating to an integer that specifies the RAM size in MB for the VM.

smp

Number of CPUs for the VM. Default: 1

Example

[vm-run-environment]
PATH = ${openssh:location}/bin:${qemu:location}/bin:%(PATH)s

[vm-run-base]
recipe = slapos.recipe.build:vm.run
environment = vm-run-environment
mem = 256 * (${:smp} + 1)
smp = 4

slapos.recipe.build:vm.install-debian

Install Debian from an ISO image. Additional required binaries:

  • 7z (from 7zip), to extract kernel/initrd from the ISO;

  • file, which is used to test that the VM image is bootable.

Currently, it only produces raw images, in discard mode (see -drive QEMU option): combined the use of discard mount option, this minimizes the used space on disk.

Options

location

Produced files: <dist>.img (1 for each token of dists), passwd and optionally ssh.key

arch

QEMU architecture (the recipe runs the qemu-system-<arch> executable). It is also used to select the ISO in the sections refered by dists. Default to host architecture.

dists

List of VMs to build: each token refers to a buildout section name that describes the ISOs to use. See ISO sections below. Tokens can’t contain ‘.’ characters.

size

Size of the VM image. This must be an integer, optionally followed by a IEC or SI suffix.

mem

Default: 384

[<dist>/]preseed.<preseed>

Set the <preseed> value for the installation. The recipe has many default preseed values: you can see the list in the InstallDebianRecipe.preseed class attribute (file slapos/recipe/vm.py). Aliases are recognized (but the recipe includes a mapping that may be out-of-date.). Any value except passwd/* can optionally be prefixed so that they only apply for a particular VM.

[<dist>/]debconf.<owner>

List of debconf value for <owner> (usually a package name), each line with 2 whitespace-separated parts: <key> <value>. Like for preseed.* values, they can be specific to <dist>.

late-command

Shell commands to execute at the end of the installation. They are run inside the target system. This is a reliable alternative to the preseed.preseed/late_command option. The DIST shell variable is set to the VM being built.

packages

Extra packages to install. Like for late-command, do not use preseed.pkgsel/include. If you want to install packages only for some specific <dist>, you can do it in late-command, by testing $DIST and using apt-get install -y.

vm.run

Boolean value that is true by default, to configure the VM for use with the slapos.recipe.build:vm.run recipe:

  • make sure that the ssh and sudo packages are installed

  • an SSH key is automatically created with ssh-keygen, and it can be used to connect as root

ISO sections

<arch>.iso

Name of the section that provides the ISO image, for example by downloading it. This section must define 2 options: location is the folder containing the ISO, and filename is the file name of the ISO.

<arch>.kernel

Path to kernel image inside the ISO.

<arch>.initrd

Path to initrd image inside the ISO.

User setup

By default, there’s no normal user created. Another rule is that a random password is automatically generated if there is no password specified.

You have nothing to do if you only plan to use the VM with vm.run.

For more information about the passwd/* preseed values, you can look at the user-setup-udeb package at https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/d-i/user-setup.git/tree/ and in particular the user-setup-ask and user-setup-apply scripts.

Example

slapos.recipe.build:vm.run

Execute shell commands inside a VM, in snapshot mode (the VM image is not modified).

${buildout:directory} is always mounted as /mnt/buildout inside the VM.

Mount points use the 9p file-system. Make sure that:

  • QEMU is built with –enable-virtfs;

  • the VM runs a kernel that is recent enough (Debian Squeeze kernel 2.6.32 is known to fail, and you’d have to use the one from squeeze-backports).

Options

location

Folder where to store any produce file. Inside the guest, it is pointed to by the PARTDIR environment variable. It is also used as temporary storage for changes to the VM image.

vm

Folder containing the VM images and the ssh.key` file. See the location option of the vm.install-* recipes.

dist

VM image to use inside the vm folder.

drives

Extra drives. Each line is passed with -drive

commands

List of <command> options, each one being a shell script to execute via SSH. They are processed in sequence. This is usually only required if you want to reboot the VM. Default: command

mount.<name>

Extra mount point. The value is a host folder that is mounted as /mnt/<name>.

stop-ssh

Tell reboot function how to stop SSH (see Helpers). Default: systemctl stop ssh

user

Execute commands with this user. The value can be root. By default, it is empty and it means that:

  • a slapos user is created with the same uid/gid than the user using this recipe on the host, which can help accessing mount points;

  • sudo must be installed and the created user is allowed to become root without password.

In any case, SSH connects as root.

wait-ssh

Time to wait for (re)boot. The recipe fails if it can’t connect to the SSH server after this number of seconds. Default: 60

Helpers

Before commands are executed, all mount.<name> are mounted and a few helpers are set to make scripting easier.

set -e

This is done before anything else, to make buildout abort if any untested command fails.

reboot

Function to safely reboot the guest. The next command in commands will be executed once the SSH server is back.

map <host_path>

Function to map a folder inside ${buildout:directory}.

PARTDIR

Folder where to store any produced file. Inside the guest, it actually maps to location on the host. This is useful because you can’t write PARTDIR=`map ${:location}` if you don’t explicitly set location.
