Hello all,
Thanks to Thomas' (alphacc) work last Friday, we now have the image building features enable on the CBS koji instance. I'll give a very brief summary of how to use it. The general form of the koji command is:
koji -p cbs image-build <image_name> <image_version> <build_target> <install_tree_url> <arch> --release <image_release> --distro <distro_name_version> --kickstart <local_kickstart_file> --format <format_type> --disk-size <disk_size_in_gb> --repo <repo_url> (optional) --scratch (optional) --nowait (optional)
The image build must be given a name, version and release. These function in much the same way as they do in RPM. In particular, the name must be added as an allowed package in the output tag for the <build_target> provided on the command line.
You can specify more than one --format option. The most useful options are:
'raw-xz' - xz compressed raw file 'qcow2' - qcow2 'rhevm-ova' - A single file OVF image (aka OVA) for RHEV-M 'vsphere-ova' - An OVA for vSphere/VMWare 'docker' - A docker base image, suitable for "docker load"
Any "url" or "repo" lines in your input kickstart file will be removed. The "url" line is replaced by whatever <install_tree_url> you give above. You can, optionally, provide additional repos to Anaconda by giving one or more "--repo <url>" arguments.
Until we sort out how exactly we want kickstart files store in RCM (likely git.centos.org) we will be restricted to doing scratch builds, indicated with a "--scratch" option above.
Here is the exact command I used to do initial testing of the feature:
koji image-build \ centos-7-imcleod-test 1 atomic7-el7.centos \ http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/os/x86_64/ x86_64 \ --release=1 \ --distro RHEL-7.0 \ --kickstart=/tmp/RHEL7.auto \ --format=qcow2 \ --scratch \ --nowait \ --disk-size=10
The "RHEL7.auto" kickstart is the minimal/JEOS RHEL7 kickstart from Oz, available here:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/clalancette/oz/master/oz/auto/RHEL7.auto
In order for this to work I had to ask alphacc to add me to the "image" permission in the CBS.
I then had to add the centos-7-imcleod-test "package" to the "atomic7-testing" tag (which is the destination for the "atomic7-el7.centos" build target). The command to do this was:
koji add-pkg --owner=imcleod atomic7-testing centos-7-imcleod-test
Please follow up with questions, thoughts, RFEs, etc.
I've been attempting to test this for docker builds with the command:
koji image-build centos-7-jperrin-test 20141204 atomic7-el7.centos \ http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/os/x86_64/ x86_64 \ --release=20141204 --distro RHEL-7.0 --kickstart=/tmp/centos-7.ks \ --format=docker --scratch --nowait --disk-size=10
using the docker kickstart for centos7. After a few minor issues surrounding the --distro option, I'm now getting an odd failure that I'm not sure how to debug.
https://cbs.centos.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=3424 should be a decent example.
Thoughts?
