Package-check usage in a virtual machine?!?

Contribute Room Apps packaging
1

I would like to use package-check without to install it on my main system…

First i tried to install/run it via github actions: https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/pyinventory_ynh/pull/22 but this doesn’t work, because debian is not available and ubuntu doesn’t work:

Crosspost: https://github.com/YunoHost/package_check/issues/93

So i tried to use it in a docker container. But it seems not to work. Maybe LXC isn’t useable in Docker?

I have a local proxmox server running. So i created a fresh debian buster LXC container.

Install doesn’t look good:

Maybe LXC in LXC doesn’t work, too?
I will try a installation in a proxmox debian buster VM (QEMU/KVM not LXC)…

I guess first you should try to fix this :

./sub_scripts/lxc_build.sh: line 119: lsb_release: command not found

by trying to apt install lsb-release

I will try it and created a PR to install this via lxc_build.sh: Update lxc_build.sh by jedie · Pull Request #94 · YunoHost/package_check · GitHub

After install it looks now:

Any advice?

Merp …

lxc-attach: pchecker_lxc: attach.c: lxc_attach: 1095 Failed to get init pid

sounds like the container did not properly start … Would need to dig in to understand why …

Though I’m personally working since a few days on a big rework of the entire package_check scripts, and among other things will now be based on lxd instead of lxc, which imho is much less tedious to configure (c.f. the current scripts managing the lxc that need to handle the entire network configuration by hand and test if the DNS is working etc…)

Alternatively you could just come to the app packaging chat room and ask for an access to the dev CI where you’ll be able to submit jobs (you just need to provide us with an SSH key)

Though of course one should be able to selfhost package_check …

Think i will wait until the refactory will land…

In the end it would be great if everyone can easy setup this own CI instance, just by install package_check_ynh on a own Yunohost instance… As i written here: https://github.com/YunoHost/issues/issues/1694#issuecomment-747277930

Because of My "integration Level" falls from 7 to 0 ?!? - #10 by Limezy i will try it one more time with GitHub - YunoHost-Apps/yunorunner_ynh: YunoRunner package for YunoHost on proxmox in a new YunoHost instance…

Proxmox has two kind of virtualizations:

  • via KVM VM
  • as LXC container

Seems that a KVM instance is needed and a LXC container will not work, isn’t it?

Both should work (we do run some of our app CI inside a LXC - which then will do LXC-in-LXC). When running the CI in a LXC, you need to make sure that nesting is enabled on the LXC tho

I now try to setup package check via vagrant in virtualbox…

I put some info together here: Setup YunoHost "package check" via Vagrant in a Virtual box · GitHub

Maybe it should be added to GitHub - YunoHost/package_check: Shell script which check package actions: install, remove, upgrade, backup, restore… ?

I puzzled everything together and create a PR, here:
