Images don't work without these fixes:
* Enable Network Manager.
* Disable cloud-init.
* Add Hyper-V modules into initramfs.
Fixes specific for RHEL:
* Create ifcfg-eth0 required by waagent.
* Install python3 and net-tools required by waagent.
Recommended changes:
* Use recommended kernel boot args.
* Disable kdump.
Since these images can be used to create multiple machines, they should
not have a unique machine-id attached to them. Replace /etc/machine-id
with an empty file so that it will be regenerated at boot time.
If a package is in multiple repos dnf may return more than 1 of them
when using best...glob so we pick the highest NEVRA one and install
that.

At the end of disk image installs, use fstrim on the generated filesystem to
discard any blocks that were allocated during the install and are now unused.
This will allow tools such as qemu-img to create images that do not include
deleted data.
For raw disk images that do not go through qemu-img, use fallocate --dig-holes
to create sparse holes in place of the unused blocks.
composer-cli uses TOML for 'blueprints save' which was returning an
empty 200 response if the blueprint didn't exist. Change this to return
a standard 400 error response if the blueprint doesn't exist.
composer-cli is already setup to handle receiving json when an error is
returned so just the toml API response for `blueprints/save` needed to
be changed.
`os.path.exists("/run/weldr/api.socket")` returns False for users which have no
access. This leads to composer printing that the file does not exist, which is
misleading.
Since it's no possible to distinguish the two cases, fix this problem by
combining them and showing a single error message.
Anaconda requires the root password to be set or locked, so if there
isn't anything setting it we write out 'rootpw --lock'
Also adds tests for this.
Resolves: rhbz#1626122
Also kill the lorax-composer process and remove /run/weldr/api.socket
so that when this is run with podman you don't get an error about
attempting to tar up the socket.
See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1595917 and
https://github.com/rpm-software-management/dnf/pull/1200 for
more on this. Briefly, DNF before 3.0 presented this config
value as a list...and mutating it worked. DNF from 3.0 until
3.6 presented it as a list...mutating it didn't work, but also
didn't *fail*, so this has actually not been doing anything on
DNF 3.x but we haven't noticed.
In DNF 3.6 values like this are presented as tuples instead of
lists, to try and catch usages like this, and it worked! We
need to change this one.
There is an additional weirdness here. tsflags is actually, in
libdnf terms, an OptionStringListAppend option: that means that
when something tries to *set* its value, the new value is just
appended to the existing list of values. This is very weird
behaviour when you're interacting with it like this, but
happens to be quite useful, as we can just 'set' the value to
a list like this and it will actually get appended (which is
what we want), and this one syntax happens to work correctly in
DNF 2.x, 3.0 through 3.5.1, and 3.6.

When the kickstart is handed off to Anaconda for building it will
download its own copy of the metadata and re-run the depsolve. So if the
dnf cache isn't current there will be a mismatch and the build will
fail to find some of the versions in final-kickstart.ks
This adds a new context to DNFLock, .lock_check, that will force a check
of the metadata. It also implements its own timeout and forces a
refresh of the metadata when that expires because the dnf expiration
doesn't always work as expected.
Resolves: rhbz#1631561
This tests to make sure that the metadata timer is working (by setting
it to 10s and adding a new package to the repo), and that
DNFLock.lock_check immediately picks up a new package.
This depends on rpmfluff which is available from Fedora or EPEL repos.

Ends up you cannot use the kickstart user command on root, since it
already exists, so we have to translate that into a rootpw command.
So [[customizations.user]] with name = "root" only support key, which
will set the ssh key, and password which will use rootpw to set the
password. plain text or encrypted are supported.
Related: rhbz#1626122
If we leave the root account w/o a password people will use it that way,
leading to insecure images. Also if we use a default password. So lock
the root account in the templates.
Users will need to do one of these things:
1. Use [[customizations.user]] in their blueprint to configure root or
another user.
2. Use [[customizations.sshkey]] to set a key for root
2. Install a package that configures a user at install time
3. Install a package that sets up a user at boot time (eg. cloud-init)
This also drops the auth line from the kickstart templates, allowing it
to use the default password algoritm instead of md5.
Resolves: rhbz#1626122
This differs from lmc's --make-ami in that creates a full disk image instead of
an fsimage. Create a raw disk image with a / and /boot partitions, and enable
sshd, chronyd, and cockpit by default.
Remove `except` block which immediately raises the same exception again (it's
not a subclass of another caught exception, so this is safe).
Remove a false positive, because it is not emitted from the code base.
Disable subprocess-popen-preexec-fn in startProgram, which is not used
internally.
- need to specify --sharedir so lorax-composer can find its
kickstart files
- each test script writes results into a separate directory to
avoid a passing test overwriting the results from a failing one.
To avoid reporting failures in case of previously failing tests
(e.g. during development) remove the temporary directories holding
tets results before execution!
these are built on top of beakerlib and we use its internal
protocol to figure out the result without relying on the full
test runner that is tipically used inside of a RHEL environment!
Includes a disabled test snippet for Issue #460
This fixes the 'make install' target to work on a typical RHEL or
Fedora system. We now by default install to a prefix of /usr instead
of /usr/local
The prefix is overridable like so:
$ make install PREFIX=/opt/
This makes it easier to generate new documentation for
http://weldr.io/lorax/
It requires having a current welder/lorax-composer:latest image (created with
the test-in-docker target), then run docs-in-docker to rerun sphinx with
the docs/html directory mounted from the container.
