The default size is always going to be wrong, so try to estimate a more
reasonable amount of space. This is more complicated than you would
expect, yum's installedsize doesn't take into account the block size of
the filesystem, nor any extra artifacts generated by pre/post scripts.
So in the end we end up with a minimum image size of 1GiB, a partition
that is 40% larger than the estimated space needed, and a disk image
that increases size in 1GiB increments. This is still better than having
a fixed 4GiB / partition that was either too large or too small.
This ended up requiring more intrusive changes, but it should be the
most complex of the output types. After moving the core of
livemedia-creator into a function I added more settings to compose_args,
and more defaults to start_build. It now pulls the release information
from /etc/os-release, and produces a bootable .iso
Because of how Anaconda is run it needs to be passed a baseurl (using
--repo on the anaconda cmdline), not a mirrorlist url. This fixes it so
that the first mirror is used if the main repository is using a
mirrorlist.
This will allow testing without having a full system setup with
anaconda, if ?test=1 is passed to the POST /compose command it will wait
10 seconds instead of running Anaconda, and then raise an error to
generate a failed build.
Passing ?test=2 will also wait 10 seconds instead of running Anaconda,
but will finish successfully.
The results is a JSON string with the following information:
* id - The uuid of the comoposition
* config - containing the configuration settings used to run Anaconda
* recipe - The depsolved recipe used to generate the kickstart
* commit - The (local) git commit hash for the recipe used
* deps - The NEVRA of all of the dependencies used in the composition
* compose_type - The type of output generated (tar, iso, etc.)
* queue_status - The final status of the composition (FINISHED or FAILED)
Write original as recipe.toml and the depsolved version as frozen.toml
Also write 'WAITING' to the STATUS file as its first state.
The STATUS states are now WAITING -> RUNNING -> FINISHED|FAILED
This adds the ability to build a tar output image. The /compose and
/compose/types API routes are now available.
To start a build POST a JSON body to /compose, like this:
{"recipe_name":"glusterfs", "compose_type":"tar", "branch":"master"}
This will return a unique build id:
{
"build_id": "4d13abb6-aa4e-4c80-a671-0b867e6e77f6",
"status": true
}
which will be used to keep track of the build status (routes for this
do not exist yet).
