This is a collection of Dockerfiles to create containers to run the PostgreSQLBuildfarm client. They need to run in Docker >= 18.03 due to a prior bugin setting ownership of mounted directories.
Build the containers in the usual way. It's useful to pass in your uid/gidso the user writing to the buildroot will have the right privileges:
docker build --rm=true -t my-buildfarm-client -f Dockerfile.foo \ --build-arg uid=`id -u` --build-arg gid=`id -g` .
The client needs to be attached to some persistent storage, which will containall the state for the buildfarm client, as well as the ephemeral buildartefacts. You will also need to get a config file. First do this:
mkdir buildrootdocker run --rm=true -v `pwd`/buildroot:/app/buildroot my-buildfarm-client \ cp build-farm.conf.sample buildroot/build-farm.conf
Now edit buildroot/build-farm.conf:
- change the animal name
- change the buildroot to "/app/buildroot"
- turn off git mirror
- turn on vpath builds
These last two are not required but are recommended.
Now you can run the client:
docker run --rm=true -v `pwd`/buildroot:/app/buildroot my-buildfarm-client \ run_build.pl --config=buildroot/build-farm.conf --test
On Alpine you need to delay the check step until after the install, soadd this to the above command
Alpine also has a few other things that don't seem to work, such as nls, ldap,and gssapi.
If you want to do a--from-source build, then mount the source directoryas well as the buildroot. There is a supplied config file for these builds,which expects the source to be mounted at/app/pgsrc:
docker run --rm=true -v `pwd`/buildroot:/app/buildroot \ -v '/path/to/src:/app/pgsrc' \ my-buildfarm-client \ run_build.pl --config=build-fromsource.conf
