Continuous Integration Architecture
|
|
===================================
|
|
|
|
In Ceph, we rely on multiple CI pipelines in our development. Most of these pipelines
|
|
are centered around Jenkins. And their configurations are generated using `Jenkins Job Builder`_.
|
|
|
|
.. _Jenkins Job Builder: https://docs.openstack.org/infra/jenkins-job-builder/
|
|
|
|
Let's take the ``make check`` performed by Jenkins as an example.
|
|
|
|
ceph-pull-requests
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
``ceph-pull-requests`` is a jenkins job which gets triggered by a GitHub pull
|
|
request or a trigger phrase like::
|
|
|
|
jenkins test make check
|
|
|
|
There are multiple parties involved in this jenkins job:
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|

|

Where
|
|
|
|
Sepia Lab
|
|
`Sepia Lab`_ is a test lab used by the Ceph project. This lab offers
|
|
the storage and computing resources required by our CI infra.
|
|
|
|
Jenkins agents
|
|
are a set of machines which perform the CI jobs. In this case, they
|
|
|
|
#. pull the git repo from GitHub and
|
|
#. rebase the pull request against the latest master
|
|
#. set necessary environment variables
|
|
#. run ``run-make-check.sh``
|
|
|
|
Chacra
|
|
is a server offering RESTful API allowing the clients to store and
|
|
retrieve binary packages. It also creates the repo for uploaded
|
|
packages automatically. Once a certain repo is created on chacra, the
|
|
configured shaman server is updated as well, then we can query shaman
|
|
for the corresponding repo address. Chacra not only hosts Ceph packages,
|
|
it also hosts quite a few other packages like various build dependencies.
|
|
|
|
Shaman
|
|
is a server offering RESTful API allowing the clients to query the
|
|
information of repos hosted by chacra nodes. Shaman is also known
|
|
for its `Web UI`_. But please note, shaman does not build the
|
|
packages, it justs offers information of the builds.

|
build dependencies
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
Just like lots of other software projects, Ceph has both build-time and
|
|
run-time dependencies. Most of time, we are inclined to use the packages
|
|
prebuilt by the distro. But there are cases where
|
|
|
|
- the necessary dependencies are either missing in the distro, or
|
|
- their versions are too old, or
|
|
- they are packaged without some important feature enabled.
|
|
- we want to ensure that the version of a certain runtime dependency is
|
|
identical to the one we tested in our lab.
|
|
|
|
No matter what the reason is, we either need to build them from source, or
|
|
to package them as binary packages instead of using the ones shipped by the
|
|
distro. Quite a few build-time dependencies are included as git submodules,
|
|
but in order to avoid rebuilding these dependencies repeatedly, we pre-built
|
|
some of them and uploaded them to our own repos. So, when performing
|
|
``make check``, the building hosts in our CI just pull them from our internal
|
|
repos hosting these packages instead of building them.
|
|
|
|
So far, following packages are prebuilt on ubuntu focal:
|
|
|
|
libboost
|
|
packages `boost`_. The packages' names are changed from ``libboost-*`` to
|
|
``ceph-libboost-*``, and they are instead installed into ``/opt/ceph``, so
|
|
they don't interfere with the official ``libboost`` packages shipped by
|
|
distro. Its build scripts are hosted at https://github.com/tchaikov/ceph-boost.
|
|
|
|
.. prompt:: bash $
|
|
|
|
tar xjf boost_1_76_0.tar.bz2
|
|
git clone https://github.com/tchaikov/ceph-boost
|
|
cp -ra ceph-boost/debian boost_1_76_0/
|
|
export DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS='parallel=6 nodoc'
|
|
dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -b
|
|
|
|
libzbd
|
|
packages `libzbd`_ . The upstream libzbd includes debian packaging already.
|
|
|
|
libpmem
|
|
packages `pmdk`_ . Please note, ``ndctl`` is one of the build dependencies of
|
|
pmdk, for an updated debian packaging, please see
|
|
https://github.com/tchaikov/ceph-ndctl .
|
|
|
|
.. _boost: https://www.boost.org
|
|
.. _libzbd: https://github.com/westerndigitalcorporation/libzbd
|
|
.. _pmdk: https://github.com/pmem/pmdk
|
|
|
|
But in addition to these libraries, ``ceph-mgr-dashboard``'s frontend uses lots of
|
|
JavaScript packages. Quite a few of them are not packaged by distros. Not to
|
|
mention the trouble of testing different combination of versions of these
|
|
packages. So we decided to include these JavaScript packages in our dist tarball.
|
|
|
|
Also, because our downstream might not want to use the prepackaged binaries when
|
|
redistributing the precompiled Ceph packages, so we also need to include these
|
|
libraries in our dist tarball. They are
|
|
|
|
- boost
|
|
- liburing
|
|
- pmdk
|
|
|
|
``make-dist`` is a script used by our CI pipeline to create dist tarball so the
|
|
tarball can be used to build the Ceph packages in a clean room environmet. When
|
|
we need to upgrade these third party libraries, we should
|
|
|
|
- update the CMake script
|
|
- rebuild the prebuilt packages and
|
|
- update this script to reflect the change.
