Debian Build System

Molior is based onaptly for managing Debian package repositories andsbuild for building Debian packages for multiple distributions and architectures.

Molior allows the following via WebUI, REST API or commandline tools:

• Manage Debian repository mirrors
• Manage Debian repositories grouped in projects and versions
• Manage project dependencies between base mirrors and other projects
• Provide build nodes (amd64, arm64) on VMs or bare metal for running sbuild
• Build debianized git repositories for multiple projects and architectures (i386, amd64, armhf, arm64)
• Create project deployments (ISO Installers, VM images, containers, ...)

  • manages project and versions
  • manages Debian repositories (aptly)
  • creates Debian source packages
  • provides REST API
  • provides build and deployment environments (schroot, debootstrap)
  • uses aptly REST API
  • uses PostgreSQL database
• molior-web
  • based on AngularJS, nodejs
  • uses molior REST API
• aptly
  • seehttp://aptly.info
  • manages Debian repository mirrors
  • manages Debian project repositories
  • provides REST API
  • contains molior specific API improvements
• molior-client
  • based on aiohttp
  • runs on build nodes
  • uses molior REST API
  • uses build environment
• molior-tools
  • create releases
  • create deployments
  • automation scripts

Point your browser to the URL of the molior server, login with admin and the password defined in /etc/molior/molior/yml.

The following will mirror Debian/stretch for amd64 and arm64. It will take approx. 73GB of disk space.

• Click on Mirror, New Mirror
• Name: stretch
• Version: 9.9
• Continue
• Check: Basemirror
• UnCheck: Mirror Source
• Uncheck: Mirror Installer
• Distribution: stretch
• Select Architectures: amd64, arm64
• Components: main
• Source:http://httpredir.debian.org/debian (or use apt-cacher-ng URL)
• Select: Use Mirror Key
• Continue
• Add the keys (separately): EF0F382A1A7B6500 8B48AD6246925553 7638D0442B90D010 04EE7237B7D453EC
• Key Server: hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80
• Confirm

Depending on the network and disk performance, this might take a 2-3 hours.

Note: if you are mirroring Debian/buster use these keys: 04EE7237B7D453EC 648ACFD622F3D138 DCC9EFBF77E11517)

Molior can create mirror of APT repositories, for example mono:

Name: monoVersion: 5.2Dist: stretchArchs: amd64Source: http://download.mono-project.com/repo/debianKeys: 3FA7E0328081BFF6A14DA29AA6A19B38D3D831EFKey Server: hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80

or Docker:

Name: dockerVersion: 17.09Dist: stretchArchs: amd64Mirror source packages: noBase mirror: noComponents: stableSource: https://download.docker.com/linux/debianKey URL: https://download.docker.com/linux/debian/gpg

• Name: test
• Click new
• Project Version: 1.0
• Choose base mirror
• Choose amd64, arm64 arhcitecutres

• Click project: test
• Click project version: 1.0
• Click Repositories
• Click NEW REPOSITORY
• URL:https://github.com/neolynx/sold.git
• Click Continue
• Click Continue

You are welcome to contribute to the project !

• Feel free to open issues with questions, suggestions and improvements
• Pull requests are welcome, please consider the following:
  • Follow the rules ofPEP8
  • UseGoogle docstrings. (for automated docs generation)
  • Make changes backward compatible and upgradeable (especially the database changes)
  • Unit test the changes, whenever possible

The following chapters describe how to setup a development environment.For building Debian packages in molior, the creation of a Debian mirror is required. This needs approximately 80GB of free disk space.

The following source respositories are needed:

# moliorgit clone https://github.com/molior-dbs/molior.gitgit clone https://github.com/molior-dbs/molior-web.git# aptlygit clone --recursive https://github.com/molior-dbs/aptlydeb.git# optionally:git clone https://github.com/neolynx/launchy.gitgit clone https://github.com/neolynx/cirrina.gitgit clone https://github.com/neolynx/aiohttp_jrpc.gitgit clone https://github.com/neolynx/aiohttp-session.gitgit clone https://github.com/neolynx/aiohttp-swagger.gitgit clone https://github.com/molior-dbs/aiofile.gitgit clone https://github.com/molior-dbs/async-cron.gitgit clone https://github.com/molior-dbs/git-url-parse.git

All git repositories are debianized. Build dependencies can be installed by running the following in a git repo:

apt-get build-dep .

Debian packages can be build with:

debuild -us -uc -b
