This repo contains the toolset needed to build Sensu packages for all currently supported platforms. The builds are 'omnibus' style packages that contain everything they need to run, including their own build of Ruby and all required gems.
The build suite relies heavily on Vagrant, Bunchr and FPM.
VM's are used to build packages native to each OS. E.g: .rpm's on CentOS, and .deb's on Ubuntu. Bunchr allows the same scripts to be used on each platform so builds are as consistent as possible and the build scripts easy to maintain.
The vagrant boxes used for building are generally default/vanilla boxes built from Veewee templates and are available at: http://vagrant.sensuapp.org
- Bunchr
- A physical box to run VirtualBox
- Oracle VirtualBox
- Vagrant (only tested with Vagrant 1.x)
- rake (should work on 0.8.7+ and 0.9.x)
- GNU parallel(1)
There are multiple ways to run the builders:
$ export SENSU_GIT_REF=v0.9.5 # any valid tag in the sensu.git repo. Will also
# be used as the 'version' in the .rpm/.deb's.
$ export BUILD_NUMBER=20 # could also use the jenkins build number
$ ./para-vagrant.sh
The para-vagrant.sh script will boot the VM's sequentially then run the
Vagrant provision process (build) in parallel on each VM.
VM's are booted sequentially to avoid any VirtualBox kernel panics.
The concurrency can be controlled by setting $MAX_PROCS at the top of the
para-vagrant.sh script.
Detailed Logs of each provision process will be generated in the logs/
directory.
Make sure SENSU_GIT_REF and BUILD_NUMBER are exported in the environment.
$ vagrant up <BOX_NAME>
## or, if the box is already running:
$ vagrant provision <BOX_NAME>
You can always boot a box without running a build by executing:
$ vagrant up <BOX_NAME> --no-provision
The builds can also be run without Vagrant, directly on a system (vm or physical).
Make sure SENSU_GIT_REF and BUILD_NUMBER are exported in the environment.
$ ./build.sh
The build script will try to install some platform specific packages that are typically not installed on minimal systems such as our Vagrant images.
Rake can also be called directly if you're sure the system has all of the necessary OS packages installed:
$ rake
It's good to do a rake clean before building, but it's not necessary. Bunchr
will try to be smart and not re-run parts of the build process that have already
succeeded. Nonetheless, a clean should probably be done before an official
build.
- It's not uncommon to see VirtualBox kernel panic on Mac OSX: hashicorp/vagrant#797

Big thanks to Adam Jacob for the suggestions on how to package Sensu and for showing us the way with Omnibus!
