This section contains the steps for building a StarlingX ISO from Master branch.

Requirements

The recommended minimum requirements include:

Hardware Requirements

A workstation computer with:

  • Processor: x86_64 is the only supported architecture
  • Memory: At least 32GB RAM
  • Hard Disk: 500GB HDD
  • Network: Network adapter with active Internet connection

Software Requirements

A workstation computer with:

Development Environment Setup

This section describes how to set up a StarlingX development system on a workstation computer. After completing these steps, you will be able to build a StarlingX ISO image on the following Linux distribution:

  • Ubuntu 16.04 LTS 64-bit

Update Your Operating System

Before proceeding with the build, ensure your OS is up to date. You’ll first need to update the local database list of available packages:

$ sudo apt-get update

Installation Requirements and Dependencies

    Git

  1. Install the required packages in an Ubuntu host system with:
    $ sudo apt-get install make git
    
  2. Docker CE

  3. Install the required Docker CE packages in an Ubuntu host system. See Get Docker for more information.

  4. Android Repo Tool

  5. Install the required Android Repo Tool in an Ubuntu host system. Follow the 2 steps in "Installing Repo" section from Installing Repo to have Andriod Repo Tool installed.

Install Public SSH Key

  1. Follow these instructions on GitHub to Generate a Public SSH Key and then upload your public key to your GitHub and Gerrit account profiles:

Install stx-tools project

  1. Under your $HOME directory, clone the <stx-tools> project
    $ cd $HOME
    $ git clone https://git.starlingx.io/stx-tools
    

Create a Workspace Directory

  1. Create a starlingx workspace directory on your workstation computer. Usually, you’ll want to create it somewhere under your user’s home directory.
    $ mkdir -p $HOME/starlingx/
    

Build the CentOS Mirror Repository

This section describes how to build the CentOS Mirror Repository.

Setup Repository Docker Container

Run the following commands under a terminal identified as "one".

  1. Navigate to the <$HOME/stx-tools>/centos-mirror-tool project directory:
    $ cd $HOME/stx-tools/centos-mirror-tools/
    
  2. Temporal! Only Branch Master Check if the following Gerrit Reviews are merged, if not, cherry pick them
    None
  3. Temporal! Only Branch m/2018.07 Check if the following Gerrit Reviews are merged, if not, cherry pick them
    None
  4. If necessary you might have to set http/https proxy in your Dockerfile before building the docker image.
    ENV http_proxy " http://your.actual_http_proxy.com:your_port "
    ENV https_proxy " https://your.actual_https_proxy.com:your_port "
    ENV ftp_proxy " http://your.actual_ftp_proxy.com:your_port "
    RUN echo " proxy=http://your-proxy.com:port " >> /etc/yum.conf
    
  5. Build your <user>:<tag> base container image with e.g. user:centos-mirror-repository
    $ docker build -t <user>:centos-mirror-repository -f Dockerfile .
    
  6. Launch a <user> docker container using previously created Docker base container image <user>:<tag> e.g. <user>-centos-mirror-repository. As /localdisk is defined as the workdir of the container, the same folder name should be used to define the volume. The container will start to run and populate a logs and output folders in this directory. The container shall be run from the same directory where the other scripts are stored.
    $ docker run -it --name <user>-centos-mirror-repository -v $(pwd):/localdisk <user>:centos-mirror-repository
    

Download Packages

  1. Enter the following command to download the required packages to populate the CentOS Mirror Repository:
    # bash download_mirror.sh
  2. Monitor the download of packages until it is complete. When download is complete, the following message is displayed:
    totally 17 files are downloaded!
    step #3: done successfully
    IMPORTANT: The following 3 files are just bootstrap versions. Based on them, the workable images
    for StarlingX could be generated by running "update-pxe-network-installer" command after "build-iso"
        - out/stx-r1/CentOS/pike/Binary/LiveOS/squashfs.img
        - out/stx-r1/CentOS/pike/Binary/images/pxeboot/initrd.img
        - out/stx-r1/CentOS/pike/Binary/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz

Verify Packages

  1. Verify there are no missing or failed packages:
    # cat output/3rd-centos_rpms_missing_L1.txt output/3rd_rpms_missing_L1.txt output/3rd_srpms_missing_L1.txt output/centos_rpms_missing_L1.txt output/centos_srpms_missing_L1.txt
    # cat output/3rd_rpms_fail_move_L1.txt output/3rd_srpms_fail_move_L1.txt output/centos_rpms_fail_move_L1.txt output/centos_srpms_fail_move_L1.txt
  2. In case there are missing or failed ones due to network instability (or timeout), you should download them manually, to assure you get all RPMs listed in "rpms_from_3rd_parties.lst" and "rpms_from_centos_repo.lst".

  3. Temporal! Please download the following packages manually
    scapy-2.3.3-1.el7.src.rpm

    $ wget http://mirrors.isu.net.sa/pub/fedora/fedora-epel/7/SRPMS/s/scapy-2.3.3-1.el7.src.rpm
    $ cp scapy-2.3.3-1.el7.src.rpm $HOME/stx-tools/centos-mirror-tools/output/stx-r1/CentOS/pike/Source/
    

Create CentOS Mirror Repository

Run the following commands under a terminal identified as "two".

  1. From terminal "two", create a mirror/CentOS directory under your starlingx workspace directory:
    $ mkdir -p $HOME/starlingx/mirror/CentOS/
    
  2. Copy the built CentOS Mirror Repository built under <stx-tools>/centos-mirror-tool to the $HOME/starlingx/mirror/ workspace directory.
    $ cp -r $HOME/stx-tools/centos-mirror-tools/output/stx-r1/ $HOME/starlingx/mirror/CentOS/
    

Create StarlingX Packages

Setup Building Docker Container

  1. From terminal "two", Workspace Setup
    $ mkdir -p $HOME/starlingx/workspace
    
  2. Navigate to the <$HOME/stx-tools> project directory:
    $ cd $HOME/stx-tools
    
  3. Copy your git options
    $ cp ~/.gitconfig toCOPY
    
  4. Create a <localrc> file
    $ nano localrc
    
  5. # tbuilder localrc
    MYUNAME=user
    PROJECT=starlingx
    HOST_PREFIX=$HOME/starlingx/workspace
    HOST_MIRROR_DIR=$HOME/starlingx/mirror
    
  6. If necessary you might have to set http/https proxy in your Dockerfile.centos73 before building the docker image.
    ENV http_proxy  "http://your.actual_http_proxy.com:your_port"
        ENV https_proxy "https://your.actual_https_proxy.com:your_port"
        ENV ftp_proxy "http://your.actual_ftp_proxy.com:your_port"
    RUN echo "proxy=http://your-proxy.com:port" >> /etc/yum.conf
    
  7. Base container setup If you are running in fedora system, you will see " .makeenv:88: *** missing separator. Stop. " error, to continue :
    • delete the functions define in the .makeenv ( module () { ... } )
    • delete the line 19 in the Makefile and ( NULL := $(shell bash -c "source buildrc ... ).
    $ make base-build
    
  8. Build container setup
    $ make build
    
  9. Verify environment variables
    $ bash tb.sh env
    
  10. Build container run
    $ bash tb.sh run
    
  11. Execute the built container:
    $ bash tb.sh exec
    

Download Source Code Repositories

  1. Internal environment
    $ eval $(ssh-agent)
    $ ssh-add
    
  2. Repo init
    $ cd $MY_REPO_ROOT_DIR
    $ repo init -u https://git.starlingx.io/stx-manifest.git -m default.xml
    
  3. Repo sync
    $ repo sync
    
  4. cgcs-dl
    $ ln -s /import/mirrors/CentOS/stx-r1/CentOS/pike/downloads/ $MY_REPO/stx/
    
  5. Outside the container, use another terminal

  6. Mirror Binaries
    $ mkdir -p $HOME/starlingx/mirror/CentOS/tis-installer
    $ cp $HOME/starlingx/mirror/CentOS/stx-r1/CentOS/pike/Binary/images/pxeboot/initrd.img $HOME/starlingx/mirror/CentOS/tis-installer/initrd.img-stx-0.2
    $ cp $HOME/starlingx/mirror/CentOS/stx-r1/CentOS/pike/Binary/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz $HOME/starlingx/mirror/CentOS/tis-installer/vmlinuz-stx-0.2
    $ cp $HOME/starlingx/mirror/CentOS/stx-r1/CentOS/pike/Binary/LiveOS/squashfs.img $HOME/starlingx/mirror/CentOS/tis-installer/squashfs.img-stx-0.2
    

Build Packages

  1. Temporal! Build-Pkgs Errors Be prepared to have some missing / corrupted rpm and tarball packages generated during StarlingX/Developer_Guide#Build_the_CentOS_Mirror_Repository which will make the next step to fail, if that happens please download manually those missing / corrupted packages.
  2. Update the symbolic links
    $ generate-cgcs-centos-repo /import/mirrors/CentOS/stx-r1/CentOS/pike/
    
  3. Build-Pkgs --Serial
    $ cd $MY_WORKSPACE
    $ build-pkgs --serial
    
  4. Generate-Cgcs-Tis-Repo The cgcs-tis-repo has the dependency information that sequences the build order; To generate or update the information the following command needs to be executed after building modified or new packages.
    $ generate-cgcs-tis-repo
    
  5. Build-Srpms
    $ build-srpms --installer
    
  6. Build-Rpms
    $ build-rpms --installer
    

Build StarlingX ISO

  1. Build-Iso
    $ build-iso
