I looked a bit initially into building the image directly in spec, one problem was how to pass the needed RDO packages properly to diskimage-builder (as a repo so that yum pulls them in). Apart from some configuration tweaks, most of the steps sum up to yum calls (system update - install haproxy, keepalived, … - install openstack-octavia-amphora-agent), these need network access, or at least local mirrors. >> >> I would be concerned with the storage required, also we need to >> trigger not only on Octavia distgit or upstream changes, all included >> RPMs need to be checked checked for updates. >> This could be simulated with dummy commits in distgit to force e.g. >> nightly refresh but due to storage requirements, I'd keep image builds >> outside trunk repos. >> > > I have been doing some tests, and it looks like running diskimage-builder > from a chroot is not the best idea (it tries to mount some tmpfs and fails), > so even if we solved the storage issue it wouldn't work. > I think our best chance is to create a periodic job to rebuild the images > (daily) then upload them to images.rdoproject.org.

On disk usage and retention polices, the images I build locally (with CentOS) are 500-500 MB qcow2 files -- Bernard _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@lists.rdoproject.org http://lists.rdoproject.org/mailman/listinfo/dev To unsubscribe: dev-unsubscr...@lists.rdoproject.org
