\fBlorax\-composer\fP is an API server that allows you to build disk images using
|
|
|
|
\fI\%Blueprints\fP to describe the package versions to be installed into the image.
|
|
|
|
It is compatible with the Weldr project\(aqs bdcs\-api REST protocol. More
|
|
|
|
information on Weldr can be found \fI\%on the Weldr blog\fP\&.
|
|
|
|
.sp
|
|
|
|
Behind the scenes it uses \fI\%livemedia\-creator\fP and
|
|
|
|
\fI\%Anaconda\fP to handle the
|
|
|
|
installation and configuration of the images.

As of version 30.7 SELinux can be set to Enforcing. The current state is
|
|
|
|
logged for debugging purposes and if there are SELinux denials they should
|
|
|
|
be reported as a bug.

.IP \(bu 2
|
|
|
|
All image types lock the root account, except for live\-iso. You will need to either
|
|
|
|
use one of the \fI\%Customizations\fP methods for setting a ssh key/password, install a
|
|
|
|
package that creates a user, or use something like \fIcloud\-init\fP to setup access at
|
|
|
|
boot time.

.SH INSTALLATION
|

|
.sp
|
|
|
|
The best way to install \fBlorax\-composer\fP is to use \fBsudo dnf install
|
|
|
|
lorax\-composer composer\-cli\fP, this will setup the weldr user and install the
|
|
|
|
systemd socket activation service. You will then need to enable it with \fBsudo
|
|
|
|
systemctl enable lorax\-composer.socket && sudo systemctl start
|
|
|
|
lorax\-composer.socket\fP\&. This will leave the server off until the first request
|
|
|
|
is made. Systemd will then launch the server and it will remain running until
|
|
|
|
the system is rebooted.

.IP 2. 3
|
|
|
|
Remove any pre\-existing socket directory with \fBrm \-rf /run/weldr/\fP
|

A new directory with correct permissions will be created the first time the server runs.
|
|
|
|
.IP 3. 3

NOTE: You can also run it directly with \fBlorax\-composer /path/to/blueprints\fP\&. However,
|
|
|
|
\fBlorax\-composer\fP does not react well to being started both on the command line and via
|
|
|
|
socket activation at the same time. It is therefore recommended that you run it directly
|
|
|
|
on the command line only for testing or development purposes. For real use or development
|
|
|
|
of other projects that simply use the API, you should stick to socket activation only.
|
|
|
|
.sp
|
|
|
|
The \fB/path/to/blueprints/\fP directory is where the blueprints\(aq git repo will
|
|
|
|
be created, and all the blueprints created with the \fB/api/v0/blueprints/new\fP
|
|
|
|
route will be stored. If there are blueprint \fB\&.toml\fP files in the top level
|
|
|
|
of the directory they will be imported into the blueprint git storage when
|
|
|
|
\fBlorax\-composer\fP starts.
|
|
|
|
.SH LOGS

.SH SECURITY
|

|
|
|
|
.INDENT 0.0
|
|
|
|
.IP \(bu 2
|
|
|
|
One of the API server threads needs to retain root privileges in order to run Anaconda.
|
|
|
|
.IP \(bu 2
|
|
|
|
Only allow authorized users access to the \fBweldr\fP group and socket.
|
|
|
|
.UNINDENT
|
|
|
|
.sp
|
|
|
|
Since Anaconda kickstarts are used there is the possibility that a user could
|
|
|
|
inject commands into a blueprint that would result in the kickstart executing
|
|
|
|
arbitrary code on the host. Only authorized users should be allowed to build
|
|
|
|
images using \fBlorax\-composer\fP\&.

.SH HOW IT WORKS
|
|
|
|
.sp
|
|
|
|
The server runs as root, and as \fBweldr\fP\&. Communication with it is via a unix
|
|
|
|
domain socket (\fB/run/weldr/api.socket\fP by default). The directory and socket
|
|
|
|
are owned by \fBroot:weldr\fP so that any user in the \fBweldr\fP group can use the API
|
|
|
|
to control \fBlorax\-composer\fP\&.
|
|
|
|
.sp
|
|
|
|
At startup the server will check for the correct permissions and
|
|
|
|
ownership of a pre\-existing directory, or it will create a new one if it
|
|
|
|
doesn\(aqt exist. The socket path and group owner\(aqs name can be changed from the
|
|
|
|
cmdline by passing it the \fB\-\-socket\fP and \fB\-\-group\fP arguments.
|
|
|
|
.sp
|
|
|
|
It will then drop root privileges for the API thread and run as the \fBweldr\fP
|
|
|
|
user. The queue and compose thread still runs as root because it needs to be
|
|
|
|
able to mount/umount files and run Anaconda.
|
|
|
|
.SH COMPOSING IMAGES
|
|
|
|
.sp
|
|
|
|
The \fI\%welder\-web\fP GUI project can be used to construct
|
|
|
|
blueprints and create composes using a web browser.
|
|
|
|
.sp
|
|
|
|
Or use the command line with \fI\%composer\-cli\fP\&.
|
|
|
|
.SH BLUEPRINTS
|
|
|
|
.sp
|
|
|
|
Blueprints are simple text files in \fI\%TOML\fP format that describe
|
|
|
|
which packages, and what versions, to install into the image. They can also define a limited set
|
|
|
|
of customizations to make to the final image.
|
|
|
|
.sp
|
|
|
|
Example blueprints can be found in the \fBlorax\-composer\fP \fI\%test suite\fP, with a simple one
|
|
|
|
looking like this:
|
|

|

|
|
|
|
The \fBname\fP field is the name of the blueprint. It can contain spaces, but they will be converted to \fB\-\fP
|
|
|
|
when it is written to disk. It should be short and descriptive.
|
|
|
|
.sp
|
|
|
|
\fBdescription\fP can be a longer description of the blueprint, it is only used for display purposes.
|
|
|
|
.sp
|
|
|
|
\fBversion\fP is a \fI\%semver compatible\fP version number. If
|
|
|
|
a new blueprint is uploaded with the same \fBversion\fP the server will
|
|
|
|
automatically bump the PATCH level of the \fBversion\fP\&. If the \fBversion\fP
|
|
|
|
doesn\(aqt match it will be used as is. eg. Uploading a blueprint with \fBversion\fP
|
|
|
|
set to \fB0.1.0\fP when the existing blueprint \fBversion\fP is \fB0.0.1\fP will
|
|
|
|
result in the new blueprint being stored as \fBversion 0.1.0\fP\&.
|
|
|
|
.SS [[packages]] and [[modules]]
|
|
|
|
.sp
|
|
|
|
These entries describe the package names and matching version glob to be installed into the image.
|
|
|
|
.sp
|
|
|
|
The names must match the names exactly, and the versions can be an exact match
|
|
|
|
or a filesystem\-like glob of the version using \fB*\fP wildcards and \fB?\fP
|
|
|
|
character matching.
|
|
|
|
.sp
|
|
|
|
NOTE: As of lorax\-composer\-29.2\-1 the versions are not used for depsolving,
|
|
|
|
that is planned for a future release. And currently there are no differences
|
|
|
|
between \fBpackages\fP and \fBmodules\fP in \fBlorax\-composer\fP\&.
|
|
|
|
.SS [[groups]]
|
|
|
|
.sp
|
|
|
|
These entries describe a group of packages to be installed into the image. Package groups are
|
|
|
|
defined in the repository metadata. Each group has a descriptive name used primarily for display
|
|
|
|
in user interfaces and an ID more commonly used in kickstart files. Here, the ID is the expected
|
|
|
|
way of listing a group.
|
|
|
|
.sp
|
|
|
|
Groups have three different ways of categorizing their packages: mandatory, default, and optional.
|
|
|
|
For purposes of blueprints, mandatory and default packages will be installed. There is no mechanism
|
|
|
|
for selecting optional packages.
|

.SH ADDING OUTPUT TYPES
|
|
|
|
.sp
|
|
|
|
\fBlivemedia\-creator\fP supports a large number of output types, and only some of
|
|
|
|
these are currently available via \fBlorax\-composer\fP\&. To add a new output type to
|
|
|
|
lorax\-composer a kickstart file needs to be added to \fB\&./share/composer/\fP\&. The
|
|
|
|
name of the kickstart is what will be used by the \fB/compose/types\fP route, and the
|
|
|
|
\fBcompose_type\fP field of the POST to start a compose. It also needs to have
|
|
|
|
code added to the \fBpylorax.api.compose.compose_args()\fP function. The
|
|
|
|
\fB_MAP\fP entry in this function defines what lorax\-composer will pass to
|
|
|
|
\fBpylorax.installer.novirt_install()\fP when it runs the compose. When the
|
|
|
|
compose is finished the output files need to be copied out of the build
|
|
|
|
directory (\fB/var/lib/lorax/composer/results/<UUID>/compose/\fP),
|
|
|
|
\fBpylorax.api.compose.move_compose_results()\fP handles this for each type.
|
|
|
|
You should move them instead of copying to save space.
|
|
|
|
.sp
|
|
|
|
If the new output type does not have support in livemedia\-creator it should be
|
|
|
|
added there first. This will make the output available to the widest number of
|
|
|
|
users.
|
|
|
|
.SS Example: Add partitioned disk support
|
|
|
|
.sp
|
|
|
|
Partitioned disk support is something that livemedia\-creator already supports
|
|
|
|
via the \fB\-\-make\-disk\fP cmdline argument. To add this to lorax\-composer it
|
|
|
|
needs 3 things:
|
|
|
|
.INDENT 0.0
|
|
|
|
.IP \(bu 2
|
|
|
|
A \fBpartitioned\-disk.ks\fP file in \fB\&./share/composer/\fP
|
|
|
|
.IP \(bu 2
|
|
|
|
A new entry in the _MAP in \fBpylorax.api.compose.compose_args()\fP
|
|
|
|
.IP \(bu 2
|
|
|
|
Add a bit of code to \fBpylorax.api.compose.move_compose_results()\fP to move the disk image from
|
|
|
|
the compose directory to the results directory.
|
|
|

.UNINDENT

The \fBpartitioned\-disk.ks\fP is pretty similar to the example minimal kickstart

|
2018-10-24 17:06:12 +00:00
|
|
|
commands, they will be added by the compose process. Make sure the bootloader
|
|
|
|
packages are included in the \fB%packages\fP section at the end of the kickstart,
|
|
|
|
and you will want to leave off the \fB%end\fP so that the compose can append the
|
|
|
|
list of packages from the blueprint.
|
|
|
|
.sp
|
|
|
|
The new \fB_MAP\fP entry should be a copy of one of the existing entries, but with \fBmake_disk\fP set
|
|
|
|
to \fBTrue\fP\&. Make sure that none of the other \fBmake_*\fP options are \fBTrue\fP\&. The \fBimage_name\fP is
|
|
|
|
what the name of the final image will be.
|
|
|
|
.sp
|
|
|
|
\fBmove_compose_results()\fP can be as simple as moving the output file into
|
|
|
|
the results directory, or it could do some post\-processing on it. The end of
|
|
|
|
the function should always clean up the \fB\&./compose/\fP directory, removing any
|
|
|
|
unneeded extra files. This is especially true for the \fBlive\-iso\fP since it produces
|
|
|
|
the contents of the iso as well as the boot.iso itself.

For example, the DVD usually does not include \fBgrub2\-efi\-*\-cdboot\-*\fP so the live\-iso image

type will not be available.

If you want to \fIadd\fP the DVD source to the existing sources you can do that by
|
|
|
|
mounting the iso and creating a source file to point to it as described in the
|
|
|
|
\fI\%Package Sources\fP documentation. In that case there is no need to remove the other
|
|
|
|
sources from \fB/etc/yum.repos.d/\fP or clear the cached repos.
