Tools for building DC/OS and launching a cluster with it in the hardware of a customer's choice.

• docker/ Locally defined docker containers packages are built in
• docs/ Documentation
• ext/dcos-installer/ Backend for Web, SSH, and some bits of the Advanced installer. To be merged into the top codebase once the code is cleaned up
• gen/ Python library for rendering yaml config files for various platforms into packages, with utilities to do things like make "late binding" config set by CloudFormation
• gen/installer/ Code to take a build and transform it into a particular platform installer (Bash / command line, AWS, Azure, etc.)
• packages/ Packages which make up DC/OS (Mesos, Marathon, AdminRouter, etc). These packages are built by pkgpanda, and combined into a "bootstrap" tarball for deployment.
• pkgpanda/ DC/OS baseline/host package management system. Tools for building, deploying, upgrading, and bundling packages together which live on the root filesystem of a machine / underneath Mesos.
• pytest/ Misc. tests. Should be moved to live next to the appropriate code
• release/ Release tools for DC/OS. (Building releases, building installers for releases, promoting between channels)
• ssh/ AsyncIO based parallel ssh library used by the installer
• test_util/ various scripts, utilities to help with integration testing

All code in this repository is Python 3

1. Linux distribution: - Docker doesn't have all the features needed on OS X or Windows - tar needs to be GNU tar for the set of flags used
2. tox
3. git
4. Docker - Install Instructions for varios distributions. Docker needs to be configued so your user can run docker containers. The command docker run alpine /bin/echo 'Hello, World!' when run at a new terminal as your user should just print "Hello, World!". If it says something like "Unable to find image 'alpine:latest' locally" then re-run and the message should go away.
5. Python 3.4 - Arch Linux: sudo pacman -S python - Fedora 23 Workstation: Already installed by default / no steps
6. Over 10GB of free disk space
7. Optional pxz (speeds up package and bootstrap compression) - ArchLinux: pxz-git in the AUR. The pxz package corrupts tarballs fairly frequently. - Fedora 23: sudo dnf install pxz

Get the code, move into the repository

$ git clone https://github.com/dcos/dcos.git
$ cd dcos

Write a configuration file for the release tool. We're going to use a local folder $HOME/dcos-artifacts as a repository for all of the DCOS build artifacts for development / testing. Amazon Web Services S3 and Azure Blob Storage can also both be used. The storage providers are all defined in release/storage/. config/dcos-release.config.yaml has the configuration used for the CI that pushes to downloads.dcos.io.

$ cat <<EOF > dcos-release.config.yaml
storage:
  local:
    kind: local_path
    path: $HOME/dcos-artifacts
options:
  preferred: local
EOF

Setup a python virtual environment, and then use release tool to build / release DCOS and publish it into the storage locations in the configuration file.

$ pyvenv ../env
$ source ../env/bin/activate

# Install the release tools, pkgpanda, etc to the virtualenvironment
$ ./prep_local

# NOTE: prep_local doses a "editable" pip install, so most local code changes
# will be visible immediately in `release`, `pkgpanda`, `mkpanda` and the other
# python tools in the repository.

# Create the release release, have it published according to your conifg to the
# channel `testing/first` with a tag `build-demo`
# NOTE: Building a release from scratch the first time on a modern dev machine
# (4 cores / 8 hyper threads, SSD, reasonable interent bandwidth) takes about
# 1 hour.
$ release create first build-demo

# NOTE: release create's first argument is the channel to push two, and the
# second is a tag. The channel could be something like your username, or
#"master". it will make the build appear at
# <storage-path>/testing/<channel-name>/. The tag is an arbitrary identifier to
# denote what the build contains and help track a particular build / feature
# across channels.

# NOTE: Most errors / problems result in Python exceptions + stacktraces. This
# is expected. Usually if you look just above the python exception you'll get a
# more human error message which was the root cause.


# Run the newly built web installer
$ $HOME/dcos-artifacts/testing/first/dcos_generate_config.sh --web

$ tox

Lots of docs are still being written. If you have immediate questions please ask the DC/OS Community. Someone else probably has exactly the same question.

• Add getting started on common distros / dependencies
• Add overview of what is in here, how it works
• Add general theory of stuff that goes in here.
• PR (guidelines, testing)
• How to make different sorts of common changes
