rmohr / chroot-plugin Goto Github PK

As written in #3, with the current commit 24a6c9b the chroot environment arguments für pbuilder get somehow truncated down the way till execution.

e.g:
--distribution myDist --mirror http://my-repo.local/myos --debootstrapopts --no-check-gpg --debootstrapopts --variant=minbase --debootstrapopts --include=my-repo-archive-keyring --allow-untrusted --othermirror 'deb http://my-repo.local/debian wheezy main contrib non-free'

Works on the shell with pbuilder. Using it as parameters thru jenkins fails with:

Type ''deb' is not known on line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list

NOTE: the quotes in the error message, it says ( 'deb ) is not a valid start.

Removing the quotes from the arguments field in Jenkins does not help as --othermirror only gets "deb" as arguments (shell interpolation)

I'm trying to build a basic hello-world in C within a chroot. At this point, I'm not even running make. I'm just trying to enter the chroot.

The feature I want is exactly what is described here:

Creates a new debootstrap-based chroot.
Installs build-essential, git, make, etc.
Fetches the source.
Runs make.
Copies the build-output to a safe location OUTSIDE the chroot
Cleans up.

I seem to have an issue with my configuration. I'm trying to follow the wiki as closely as possible:

$ uname -r
3.16.0-30-generic

$ which pbuilder
/usr/sbin/pbuilder

# In /etc/sudoers:
# Allow the jenkins user to use pbuilder
jenkins ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/pbuilder

Environment:
Jenkins: v1.624
chroot plugin: v0.1.4
GitHub plugin: v1.12.1

The console output from the build seems to also be cloning the test repo before the chroot is created and entered:

This is a single linux box (only a single Jenkins master node).

Any extra command line parameters specified in the chroot configuration are only considered at the first run, i.e., when debootstrap runs. The subsequent run, where extra packages are installed, does not take the parameters into account, thus causing the build to fail when a HTTP proxy is specified this way instead of using .pbuilderrc.

I'm trying to use the chroot plugin, and have a .pbuilderrc file setup that works successfully when I run pbuilder --create manually. However, when I try to use the plugin according to the instructions on the jenkins-ci wiki, I can't get it to actually do anything. I just continuously get an error of:

FATAL: Failed to copy . to /var/lib/jenkins/jobs/NetHunter - OPO - KitKat/workspace/Kali
java.io.IOException: Failed to copy . to /var/lib/jenkins/jobs/NetHunter - OPO - KitKat/workspace/Kali

However I noticed, if I disable the option to "Install Automatically" it suddenly offers me an option called "Home' that seems like it needs to be a directory. However, it's unclear what that directory needs to consist of.

I also noticed (after trying a few directories unsuccessfully) that if I have a value in there, and then re-enable "Install Automatically" the first error message changes from "Failed to copy . to..." to "Failed to copy foo/bar/baz to..." and then complains that foo/bar/baz is a directory. So, the "Home" setting which forces you to choose a directory (and complains if it's a file) seems to be carried through to the Install automatically setting which complains that it is a directory.

If you can offer some guidance, that would be appreciated. I intend to write up a blog post after I get it working, so others don't spend have to spend the time that I have trying to get it to work.

If it matters, the pbuilderrc is trying to make a chroot of the kali distribution at http://http.kali.org/kali

Hi,

Here is my configuration;

Where is the mistake?

Thanks,
Sebastian

Pbuilder is extremely verbose. This is the reason why stdout is not logged when initially creating the chroot environments. While this is fine when you have a correctly set up environment, it can be quite cumbersome to find out why the creation of a chroot environment failed.

while "Clear" checkbox is checked, the error occurs when pbuilder image is recreated during the build
form my understanding, the plugin is trying to clean image that does not exists yet

$ sudo /usr/sbin/pbuilder --clean --basetgz /www/jenkins/var/lib/jenkins/workspace/syncer/debian-wheezy/debian-wheezy.tgz
W: /root/.pbuilderrc does not exist
E: File /www/jenkins/var/lib/jenkins/workspace/syncer/debian-wheezy/debian-wheezy.tgz does not exist
FATAL: Chroot environment cleanup failed

I have installed and configured the chroot plugin in Jenkins and as build is successful where I have to copy the binaries from chroot environment to the base vm

Hi,

I'd like to have the chroot buildsteps available under multi-configuration projects.

Looking for advice on howto get this one started/implemented myself. What classes/interfaces does the chroot plugin builder need to provide? Any hints are welcome!

Even if entering the name of an existing file in the workspace, there's a yellow text below the field (after tab'ing out) that says "file does not yet exist".
If I then proceed to save the configuration with a filename in that field, I get a Jenkins Oops page with this stack trace (here shown for the case where the file really doesn't exist):

Instead of "crashing", I would expect the plugin to accept the filename and allow the file to be created either from source control or generation.
I have this same error on two different installations. This one here is running Jenkins LTS 1.596.1 and chroot plugin SNAPSHOT. Other installation is running with plugin 0.1.4.

I'm trying to replace the hardcoded requirements in our jenkins build specification with a requirements file.

We have already configured and used chroot plugin to run a build process which itself requires root permissions. However we don't want to manage the setup of that chroot environment in the job spec and instead control it from files in git.

In the job configuration, the chroot builder has a field for "Requirements Files". This appears to be the right thing to use. But when I fill this in I'm just given an error and cannot save the configuration:

File ImageBuilder/jenkins_env_requirements.txt does not yet exist.

I've confirmed that the file does exist in the repository and run a build against that repo for good measure:

$ ls -lh ImageBuilder/jenkins_env_requirements.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 philip philip 28 Nov 25 14:56 ImageBuilder/jenkins_env_requirements.txt

It seems odd that this plugin tries to verify the existence of a file in a git repository while configuring the build, rather than while running the build. Have I misinterpreted where this file is supposed to live?

Hey,

I checked the code behind the "Force installation of packages" option in the [Job -> Configure -> Chroot Build -> Advanced] form. The help file states that it does whatever it can to achieve the installation of packages, but in reality it just ticks the pbuilder option "--allow-untrusted"

--allow-untrusted
              Allow untrusted (no key installed) and unsigned repositories.  Warning: Enabling this option may allow remote attackers to compromise the system.  Better use signed repositories and --keyring to add the key(s).```

There's a yellow warning text under the field with that text, regardless of whether the file actually exists or not. Maybe it's related to my earlier problem (#8), but fortunately it does not interfere with the actual working of the plugin. It's only annoying.

Feature request to check if "schroot" might get the job done too, even faster (e.g: lvm-snapshot chroots)

Hi,

1. "Download URL for binary archive" does not work:

   Unpacking http://server.net/releases/myos1.0.tgz to /var/lib/jenkins/tools/org.jenkinsci.plugins.chroot.tools.ChrootToolset/myos on Jenkins
   FATAL: Failed to copy /var/lib/jenkins/tools/myos to /var/lib/jenkins/workspace/chroot_test2/myos/myos
   [...]
   Caused by: java.io.FileNotFoundException: /var/lib/jenkins/tools/myos (Is a directory)

   Either the plugin wants the tool tarball as an argument (it's a file), or the copy method is not sufficient (has to be recursive then).

2. If giving a 'Subdirectory of extracted archive', the plugin behaves strangely: It will always unpack the tarball given in the subdir, even though the tarball from the url was successfully downloaded (in case it was newer/differs). I 've tested with a newer tarball at the url including more packages than the local one from the subdir. The packages are not available in the build.

3. Help text of 'Subdirectory of extracted archive' is misleading. Clearly, the plugin is searching for the tarball, not the "unpacked archive". Also not mentioned: the required md5 file.

Regards, Holger

For version 1.4, if one tries to create a new chroot the packages added to the Install packages setting in the Advanced configuration section don't actually get installed.

Downgrading to version 1.3 fixes this issue, so it must be a recent regression.

Question1: Is there a way to get this plugin to use an existing pre-prepared tgz file with the required chroot?
In my case even if I replace the tgz file in the workspace it seems that the next run deletes the tgz file I want to use..

Question2: This might be finger trouble but when I attempt to use this plugin this is the message I get. "unexpected EOF while looking for matching " see the Log file output: $ sudo /usr/sbin/pbuilder --update --basetgz /home1/pas/Build/ci/workspace/myschroot/test-pbuilder/test-pbuilder.tgz

Cowbuilder is wrapper round pbuilder that uses Copy-on-Write (COW) to vastly speed up the creation of the chroot. It supports all the options of pbuilder.
