<p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">lorax-composer</span></code> is an API server that allows you to build disk images using
|
||
<a class="reference internal" href="#blueprints">Blueprints</a> to describe the package versions to be installed into the image.
|
||
It is compatible with the Weldr project’s bdcs-api REST protocol. More
|
||
information on Weldr can be found <a class="reference external" href="http://www.weldr.io">on the Weldr blog</a>.</p>
|
||
<p>Behind the scenes it uses <a class="reference external" href="livemedia-creator.html">livemedia-creator</a> and
|
||
<a class="reference external" href="https://anaconda-installer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/">Anaconda</a> to handle the

installation and configuration of the images.</p>
|

<div class="section" id="installation">
|

<h2>Installation<a class="headerlink" href="#installation" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
|
||
<p>The best way to install <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">lorax-composer</span></code> is to use <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">sudo</span> <span class="pre">dnf</span> <span class="pre">install</span>
|
||
<span class="pre">lorax-composer</span> <span class="pre">composer-cli</span></code>, this will setup the weldr user and install the
|
||
systemd socket activation service. You will then need to enable it with <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">sudo</span>
|
||
<span class="pre">systemctl</span> <span class="pre">enable</span> <span class="pre">lorax-composer.socket</span> <span class="pre">&&</span> <span class="pre">sudo</span> <span class="pre">systemctl</span> <span class="pre">start</span>
|
||
<span class="pre">lorax-composer.socket</span></code>. 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. This will cause some delay in responding to the first
|
||
request from the UI or <cite>composer-cli</cite>.</p>

||
<div class="admonition note">
|
||
<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>

<li>Create a <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">weldr</span></code> user and group by running <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">useradd</span> <span class="pre">weldr</span></code></li>
|
||
<li>Remove any pre-existing socket directory with <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">rm</span> <span class="pre">-rf</span> <span class="pre">/run/weldr/</span></code>
|
||
A new directory with correct permissions will be created the first time the server runs.</li>

<li>Enable the socket activation with <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">systemctl</span> <span class="pre">enable</span> <span class="pre">lorax-composer.socket</span>

</ol>
|
||
<p>NOTE: You can also run it directly with <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">lorax-composer</span> <span class="pre">/path/to/blueprints</span></code>. However,
|
||
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">lorax-composer</span></code> 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.</p>
|
||
<p>The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/path/to/blueprints/</span></code> directory is where the blueprints’ git repo will
|
||
be created, and all the blueprints created with the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/api/v0/blueprints/new</span></code>
|
||
route will be stored. If there are blueprint <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">.toml</span></code> files in the top level
|
||
of the directory they will be imported into the blueprint git storage when
|
||
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">lorax-composer</span></code> starts.</p>

<h2>Security<a class="headerlink" href="#security" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
|

<p>Some security related issues that you should be aware of before running <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">lorax-composer</span></code>:</p>
|
||
<ul class="simple">
|
||
<li>One of the API server threads needs to retain root privileges in order to run Anaconda.</li>
|
||
<li>SELinux must be set to Permissive or disabled to allow <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">livemedia-creator</span></code> to run Anaconda.</li>
|
||
<li>Only allow authorized users access to the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">weldr</span></code> group and socket.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<p>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 <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">lorax-composer</span></code>.</p>

<h2>How it Works<a class="headerlink" href="#how-it-works" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
|
||
<p>The server runs as root, and as <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">weldr</span></code>. Communication with it is via a unix
|
||
domain socket (<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/run/weldr/api.socket</span></code> by default). The directory and socket
|
||
are owned by <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">root:weldr</span></code> so that any user in the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">weldr</span></code> group can use the API
|
||
to control <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">lorax-composer</span></code>.</p>
|
||
<p>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’t exist. The socket path and group owner’s name can be changed from the
|
||
cmdline by passing it the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--socket</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--group</span></code> arguments.</p>
|
||
<p>It will then drop root privileges for the API thread and run as the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">weldr</span></code>
|
||
user. The queue and compose thread still runs as root because it needs to be
|
||
able to mount/umount files and run Anaconda.</p>

<p>The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">name</span></code> field is the name of the blueprint. It can contain spaces, but they will be converted to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">-</span></code>
|

when it is written to disk. It should be short and descriptive.</p>
|

<p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">description</span></code> can be a longer description of the blueprint, it is only used for display purposes.</p>
|
||
<p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">version</span></code> is a <a class="reference external" href="https://semver.org/">semver compatible</a> version number. If
|

a new blueprint is uploaded with the same <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">version</span></code> the server will
|

automatically bump the PATCH level of the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">version</span></code>. If the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">version</span></code>
|

doesn’t match it will be used as is. eg. Uploading a blueprint with <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">version</span></code>
|

set to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">0.1.0</span></code> when the existing blueprint <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">version</span></code> is <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">0.0.1</span></code> will
|
||
result in the new blueprint being stored as <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">version</span> <span class="pre">0.1.0</span></code>.</p>

<h2>Adding Output Types<a class="headerlink" href="#adding-output-types" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
|
||
<p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">livemedia-creator</span></code> supports a large number of output types, and only some of
|
||
these are currently available via <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">lorax-composer</span></code>. To add a new output type to
|
||
lorax-composer a kickstart file needs to be added to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">./share/composer/</span></code>. The
|
||
name of the kickstart is what will be used by the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/compose/types</span></code> route, and the
|
||
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">compose_type</span></code> field of the POST to start a compose. It also needs to have
|
||
code added to the <a class="reference internal" href="pylorax.api.html#pylorax.api.compose.compose_args" title="pylorax.api.compose.compose_args"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pylorax.api.compose.compose_args()</span></code></a> function. The
|
||
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">_MAP</span></code> entry in this function defines what lorax-composer will pass to
|
||
<a class="reference internal" href="pylorax.html#pylorax.installer.novirt_install" title="pylorax.installer.novirt_install"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pylorax.installer.novirt_install()</span></code></a> when it runs the compose. When the
|
||
compose is finished the output files need to be copied out of the build
|
||
directory (<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">/var/lib/lorax/composer/results/<UUID>/compose/</span></code>),
|
||
<a class="reference internal" href="pylorax.api.html#pylorax.api.compose.move_compose_results" title="pylorax.api.compose.move_compose_results"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pylorax.api.compose.move_compose_results()</span></code></a> handles this for each type.
|
||
You should move them instead of copying to save space.</p>
|
||
<p>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.</p>

<div class="section" id="example-add-partitioned-disk-support">
|

<h3>Example: Add partitioned disk support<a class="headerlink" href="#example-add-partitioned-disk-support" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h3>
|
||
<p>Partitioned disk support is something that livemedia-creator already supports
|
||
via the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">--make-disk</span></code> cmdline argument. To add this to lorax-composer it
|
||
needs 3 things:</p>
|
||
<ul class="simple">
|
||
<li>A <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">partitioned-disk.ks</span></code> file in <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">./share/composer/</span></code></li>
|
||
<li>A new entry in the _MAP in <a class="reference internal" href="pylorax.api.html#pylorax.api.compose.compose_args" title="pylorax.api.compose.compose_args"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pylorax.api.compose.compose_args()</span></code></a></li>
|
||
<li>Add a bit of code to <a class="reference internal" href="pylorax.api.html#pylorax.api.compose.move_compose_results" title="pylorax.api.compose.move_compose_results"><code class="xref py py-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">pylorax.api.compose.move_compose_results()</span></code></a> to move the disk image from
|
||
the compose directory to the results directory.</li>
|
||
</ul>
|
||
<p>The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">partitioned-disk.ks</span></code> is pretty similar to the example minimal kickstart
|
||
in <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">./docs/fedora-minimal.ks</span></code>. You should remove the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">url</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">repo</span></code>
|
||
commands, they will be added by the compose process. Make sure the bootloader
|
||
packages are included in the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">%packages</span></code> section at the end of the kickstart,
|
||
and you will want to leave off the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">%end</span></code> so that the compose can append the
|
||
list of packages from the blueprint.</p>
|
||
<p>The new <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">_MAP</span></code> entry should be a copy of one of the existing entries, but with <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">make_disk</span></code> set
|
||
to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">True</span></code>. Make sure that none of the other <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">make_*</span></code> options are <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">True</span></code>. The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">image_name</span></code> is
|
||
what the name of the final image will be.</p>
|
||
<p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">move_compose_results()</span></code> 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 <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">./compose/</span></code> directory, removing any
|
||
unneeded extra files. This is especially true for the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">live-iso</span></code> since it produces
|
||
the contents of the iso as well as the boot.iso itself.</p>
