Build instructions

Could someone point me to where I can find specific build instructions for rockstor-core from Git? I have three or four other applications that use git, and each has their own build instructions, so there doesn’t seem to be a standard way that can be assumed.

@jcdick1,

Have you tried what’s in:

http://rockstor.com/docs/contribute.html

It may not be fully up to date, but is probably a good place to start.

@phillxnet

Building on Tumbleweed, following all the instructions I could gather and assume apply.

Following the instructions provided in Contribute, the result from the command

/path/to/build_dir/bin/buildout -N -c /path/to/build_dir/buildout.cfg

is:

Warning: Couldn’t find an acceptable libzmq on the system.

If you expected pyzmq to link against an installed libzmq, please check to make sure:

  • You have a C compiler installed
    * A development version of Python is installed (including headers)
    * A development version of ZMQ >= 3.2 is installed (including headers)
    * If ZMQ is not in a default location, supply the argument --zmq=
    * If you did recently install ZMQ to a default location,
    try rebuilding the ld cache with sudo ldconfig
    or specify zmq’s location with --zmq=/usr/local

You can skip all this detection/waiting nonsense if you know
you want pyzmq to bundle libzmq as an extension by passing:

--zmq=bundled

I will now try to build libzmq as a Python extension

So something is definitely missing from the instructions.

@jcdick1 Hello again. Linking to your prior thread where I gave instructions pertinent to you query in this thread:

The build instructions are intended for a developer audience and as such are not really end user material. But yes we could do with including the normally indicated pre-requisite apps for building. But these are already indicated in for example the more specific doc for building on openSUSE which I referenced in your last thread. I.e. see my 2 references from that thread:

ie look to:

and the suggested pre-requisite packages as given in the latter:

I expect you only installed those packages specified in “Packages for Rockstor function” but you are aiming at the building from source instructions.

Let us know how this goes and please submit a pull request to fill out our dev docs upon finding something missing. But also note that these instructions are specifically for developers and not really end user friendly. I can’t spend much time helping you through them as your are not their intended audience. But at the same time this is a definite improvement and is long outstanding. Hence me adding them in the openSUSE instructions, our intended future base (but not ready just yet).

If you wish to get further help on the build please paste the exact steps you take along with a cut and paste the the exact commands you run to get the the problem state you report. Development is exact and the rpm offering is for ease of install / end user. What we need to improve the developer docs is all steps that were taken so that the error you received can be reproduced. So if posting again on this issue please specify how and what you installed so it can be reproduced exactly.

But yes we definitely need to make things as easy as possible to help with developer on-boarding which is hard enough at the best of times.

You are rather stuck between a rock and a hard place (from your linked prior threads context) and a fresh set of eyes is always useful on our docs so thanks for the pointer, although I did provide the required packages in my wiki entry we should also have them in the general dev docs.

I’ve created the following issue to address the docs issue:

https://github.com/rockstor/rockstor-doc/issues/201

Good luck with the build but do keep in mind that all developer instructions are intended to development purposes. We release via rpm to help end users, and the openSUSE function is far from on par currently with CentOS. But as I mentioned in your last linked thread it may be your only option. However you mention there a hardware issue found that was then deleted as a post. I’ll pick that one up in that thread. Also note that @vesper1978 contribution, although much appreciated, was in part an artifact of you not linking to your prior post as context, i.e. if you had linked they could have perhaps helped you further along having already seen our prior discussion.

Always tricky to know when to best split off a discussion though so lets just muddle through as best we can.

Hope that helps and that you the partial function of our build on openSUSE is enough to get you going until we start releasing rpms for that platform.

I just double-checked by doing a copy/paste of the command for both “Packages for Rockstor function” and “Packages for Building Rockstor from source,” with a “Nothing to do” result from both. So all of the stated required packages are installed.

I’ve created a /usr/opt directory to use in lieu of the RPM default /opt/rockstor.

In /usr/opt I ran

git clone https://github.com/rockstor/rockstor-core.git

When that was complete, I referred to the Dev section of the Contributing, using the “Build VM initial setup” as reference:

python ./rockstor-core/bootstrap.py -c ./rockstor-core/buildout.cfg

The result:

ez_setup.py is deprecated and when using it setuptools will be pinned to 33.1.1 since it’s the last version that supports setuptools self upgrade/installation, check https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/581 for more info; use pip to install setuptools

Based on the error statement regarding ez_setup.py, I don’t know that installing the openSUSE python-setuptools (v40.8.0) package would resolve it.

Moving on then to

./rockstor-core/bin/buildout -N -c ./rockstor-core/buildout.cfg

Results in the previous mentioned errors.

@jcdick1 Thanks for the double check on those package requirements.

On creating the openSUSE dev doc I used cut paste with a clean install so we may have had an upstream change in the mean time. Can’t have a look directly but will have a look again soon.

I’ve yet to establish an automated build in my jenkins setup for openSUSE so can’t check on any changes over time from there. But all in good time.

@Flox or @luke may be in a better time zone to help and have both successfully build on openSUSE although I only know of @Flox building on both Leap15.1 and Tumbleweed.

Thanks for persevering and I will try and take a look soon myself but do report back if you sort this. But the openSUSE build is not my current main focus as we are in pressing need to give stable subscribers the ability to edit their own appliance ids such that we inconvenience them less during re-install which is like also to be an element of our openSUSE move.

Oh well, many moving parts and only so much time in the day. I’ll re-test my wiki as soon as I can and update it accordingly and post back here there after.

I’m taking notes, so if I do manage to get it sorted, I’ll submit some kind of updated documentation.

@jcdick1 Hello again.

I’ve just managed to reproduce your build issue on a recent Tumbleweed install that had previously build rockstor OK.

Getting distribution for 'psycopg2==2.7.4'.

Error: pg_config executable not found.

pg_config is required to build psycopg2 from source.

And it looks like upstream package changes so far as if we look to prior snapshots of root:

./.snapshots/35/snapshot/etc/alternatives/pg_config
./.snapshots/35/snapshot/usr/lib/postgresql10/bin/pg_config
./.snapshots/35/snapshot/usr/bin/pg_config

and the same through to snapshot 39 inclusive:

./.snapshots/39/snapshot/etc/alternatives/pg_config
./.snapshots/39/snapshot/usr/lib/postgresql10/bin/pg_config
./.snapshots/39/snapshot/usr/bin/pg_config

But my root snapshots numbered 40 and 41, and then the current root show only the following file:

/usr/lib/postgresql10/bin/pg_config
I.e.:

./.snapshots/40/snapshot/usr/lib/postgresql10/bin/pg_config
./.snapshots/41/snapshot/usr/lib/postgresql10/bin/pg_config
./usr/lib/postgresql10/bin/pg_config

Where the last working in path version of this file I have is:

ls -la ./.snapshots/39/snapshot/usr/bin/pg_config
./.snapshots/39/snapshot/usr/bin/pg_config -> /etc/alternatives/pg_config

a link to the alternatives system which in turn referenced our target:

ls -la ./.snapshots/39/snapshot/etc/alternatives/pg_config                                                                                         
./.snapshots/39/snapshot/etc/alternatives/pg_config -> /usr/lib/postgresql10/bin/pg_config

and from:

sudo zypper search --installed-only | grep postgres

It would appear that Tumbleweed has now added a postgresql 11.

and from the alternatives system we have:

alternatives --display pip                                                                                                           
/usr/lib/postgresql10 
/usr/lib/postgresql11

and for comparison for an similar alternatives managed program ‘pip’ we have:

alternatives --display pip
pip - auto mode
  link best version is /usr/bin/pip3.7
  link currently points to /usr/bin/pip3.7
  link pip is /usr/bin/pip
/usr/bin/pip2.7 - priority 27
/usr/bin/pip3.7 - priority 37

and postgresql looks to have the same auto setting yet we don’t have our expected links:

alternatives --config postgresql
There are 2 choices for the alternative postgresql (providing /usr/lib/postgresql).

 Selection    Path                   Priority   Status
------------------------------------------------------------
* 0            /usr/lib/postgresql11   110       auto mode
 1            /usr/lib/postgresql10   100       manual mode
 2            /usr/lib/postgresql11   110       manual mode

Press <enter> to keep the current choice[*], or type selection number: 1
update-alternatives: using /usr/lib/postgresql10 to provide /usr/lib/postgresql (postgresql) in manual mode

Here I selected 1 as it’s what we have been using all along, at least in our openSUSE source builds.

And there after we now at least have an ‘in path’ reference to pg_config (note the last line):

find . -name pg_config
...
./.snapshots/39/snapshot/etc/alternatives/pg_config
./.snapshots/39/snapshot/usr/lib/postgresql10/bin/pg_config
./.snapshots/39/snapshot/usr/bin/pg_config
./.snapshots/40/snapshot/usr/lib/postgresql10/bin/pg_config
./.snapshots/41/snapshot/usr/lib/postgresql10/bin/pg_config
./usr/lib/postgresql10/bin/pg_config
./usr/bin/pg_config
...

and then we have a successful build:

That may be a long shot, but what about the output of journalctl -xe? I’ve identified a problem with database migrations once like that.

Sorry for all the bold. That’s just how its being formatted copy’n’pasted from the SSH session.

You can try to put the log text between a pair of triple backticks.

Related to your build issues, I can think of a couple things to try, from memory:

Systemctl status -l rockstor-pre rockstor

You can also keep a look at the journal (journalctl -f) while building, that’s how I’ve identified the migration quirk I’ve mentioned above.

I ran the systemctl status -l rockstor-pre.service:

At this point, if your test systems are able to build, I can’t help but think there’s something you have installed that is not part of the base “server” opensuse install, and not either listed under “packages needed” in the dev notes or one of the zypper-resolved dependencies for those specific packages.

Or, “git clone https://github.com/rockstor/rockstor-core.git” doesn’t get all the source code required.

Hi @jcdick1,
I finally could find some time to try on a fresh TW (20190423) install and am too getting errors. I do not get pg_config-related errors as I followed @phillxnet’s instructions re-postgresql10, but postgresql still is giving me trouble:

Upon building, I see the following error:

Do this with either the invocation option -D or the', 'environment variable PGDATA.', '']

(reproduced below for better formatting):

I’ll try to look further and see if I missed something somewhere, or if I can fix it.

Fixed!

I changed the following line:

from:

['su', '-', 'postgres', '-c', '/usr/bin/initdb', pg_data])

to:

['su', '-', 'postgres', '-c', '-D', '/usr/bin/initdb', pg_data])

…and then rebuilding from source.

It may break non-TW builds, though, and I’m not sure what upstream change (if any) caused this. You can try it if you are still stuck, though.

Hope this helps,

@Flox Nice find, funny how this has now cropped up as it did work previously. Tried to find upstream changes but ran out of time.

Can’t look further right now but can chip in with PGDATA normally being set within the postgres users home directory via their:

/var/lib/pgsql/.bash_profile

which has the following:

# Get PGDATA from /etc/sysconfig/postgresql
if test -f /etc/sysconfig/postgresql; then
   eval eval $(sed -n '/^POSTGRES_DATADIR=/s//PGDATA=/p' /etc/sysconfig/postgresql)
   export PGDATA
fi

with /etc/sysconfig/postgresql containing:

## Path:           Applications/PostgreSQL
## Description:    The PostgreSQL Database System
## Type:           string()
## Default:        "~postgres/data"
## ServiceRestart: postgresql
#
# In which directory should the PostgreSQL database reside?
#
POSTGRES_DATADIR="~postgres/data"

## Path:           Applications/PostgreSQL
## Description:    The PostgreSQL Database System
## Type:           string()
## Default:        ""
## ServiceRestart: postgresql
#
# The options that are given to the PostgreSQL master daemon on startup.
# See the manual pages for postmaster and postgres for valid options.
#
# Don't put "-D datadir" here since it is set by the startup script
# based on the variable POSTGRES_DATADIR above.
#
POSTGRES_OPTIONS=""

which has remained unchanged in all my prior root snapshots in Tumbleweed.

Would be nice to track this down as in all other invocations we haven’t had to specify the data directory explicitly like this. I’d also rather stick to the default directory as with some more recent dealings with JeOS (Leap 15.0) and postgres I’ve ended up with the default being created anyway, even after I’d explicitly named a custom db directory.

And as another test I have:

su - postgres
# so we are not 'logged in as' postgres user
env | grep PGDATA
# gave the following output
PGDATA=/var/lib/pgsql/data
# and to return to root user:
exit

all with:

distro 
Name: openSUSE Tumbleweed
Version: 20190423

Strange.

@Flox and @jcdick1 do either of your problem systems have the following file:

/var/lib/pgsql/.bash_profile

If so if your could compare it’s contents as that should be what sets this required and apparently missing environment variable in the problem cases.

Thanks

I’ll try to get back to the ‘core’ development on openSUSE soon and will then do a ‘nice & clean’ build but must first complete some back-end server stuff I have to get done.

@jcdick1 Well done on persevering with this one; as you see we have ‘changing sands’ and ongoing concerns but it looks like you should now be good to go on a recent ‘clean’ build: with the indicated modifications. And there is provision for a source build to be transitioned to an rpm one once the relevant rpms are uploaded. The provision for the additional openSUSE rpm repositories is one of the server aspects I’m working on in the background currently.

@Flox Thanks for stepping up to this one, again; and nice exposition. We will have to decide what we are to do with this apparently ‘missing’ PGDATA env var situation.

Thanks a lot for your input @phillxnet!

That’s actually really interesting, here’s why:

I do have this .bash_profile but it’s a simply referral to /usr/share/postgresql/bash_profile

rockdev:~ # ls -lht /var/lib/pgsql
total 12K
-rw------- 1 postgres postgres  23 Apr 26 16:11 .bash_history
drwx------ 1 postgres postgres 550 Apr 26 16:06 data
-rw-r--r-- 1 postgres postgres 859 Apr 26 11:18 initlog
-rw-r----- 1 postgres postgres  34 Apr 26 09:03 .bash_profile
rockdev:~ #
rockdev:~ # cat /var/lib/pgsql/.bash_profile
/usr/share/postgresql/bash_profile

That one, in turn, does not set PGDATA at all, hence our issue:

rockdev:~ # cat /usr/share/postgresql/bash_profile
#!/bin/bash

shopt -s nullglob

if test "$#" -ne 1; then
        echo "usage: $0 pgversion" 1>&2
        exit 1
fi

PRIO=$1
case "$PRIO" in
  postgresql*)
    PRIO="${PRIO##postgresql}"
  ;;
esac

PGBASEDIR=/usr/lib/postgresql$PRIO
if [ $PRIO -lt 80 ] ; then
  PRIO="${PRIO}0"
fi

PGBINDIR=$PGBASEDIR/bin

for FILE in $PGBINDIR/*; do
    NAME=$(basename $FILE)
    DIR=/usr/bin
    SLAVES="$SLAVES --slave $DIR/$NAME $NAME $FILE"
done

if test -n "$SLAVES"; then
    update-alternatives --quiet --install \
        /usr/lib/postgresql postgresql $PGBASEDIR $PRIO \
        $SLAVES
else
    update-alternatives --remove postgresql $PGBASEDIR
fi

Note, however, that the relevant contents of /etc/sysconfig/postgresql are the same as yours.

I’ll try and see if I have the same behavior with Leap 15.1, by curiosity.

EDIT:
As mentioned above, I get this error on a fresh TW_20190423 install, so could this discrepancy with your system be explained by the fact that yours carried over the correct files from previous versions?

@Flox

This now very much looks to be the case, with your report. My instance of postgres user’s ‘.bash_profile’ appears to date from June 2018:

-rw-r----- 1 postgres postgres 192 Jun  9  2018 .bash_profile

So I’m guessing it was a post install script of an earlier postgresql-server rpm or the like that generated it. It is not owned by any current package. And once in place was, via policy for such things, left as was. Nice to know anyway.

Lets move to conclude this then.
Given the current case is that we can’t depend on this PGDATA environmental variable being set for us any longer and my prior code looks to have assumed it’s existence we do as you and the error message suggests and explicitly set our db data dir via the -D option to our pg_data python var which previously shadowed the same env var anyway.

Note worthy is that our related CentOS executions are also apparently relying on the same PGDATA env var but have as yet not run into this issue. But for the initialisation we have thus far used the RedHat specific script. But we should concentrate on the openSUSE side really, ie from a CentOS based Rockstor install we have:

cat /var/lib/pgsql/.bash_profile  
[ -f /etc/profile ] && source /etc/profile

PGDATA=/var/lib/pgsql/data
export PGDATA

Upon another look your prior correction to:

Looks to have the -D option in the wrong place as it’s an option to be passed to initdb not the login environment su:

where as the ‘su -’ is shorthand for switch user with login environment of that user; see man su:

-, -l, --login
              Start the shell as a login shell with an environment similar to a real login:

I did the following to pass the -D option to initdb:

                    ['su', '-', 'postgres', '-c', '/usr/bin/initdb -D {}'.format(pg_data)])

which may not be the most elegant but worked for me and seems to read OK: i.e. we are passing a single command string via the —command (-c) option on su.

Since you diagnosed that -D thingy do you fancy making an issue / pr and we can then link to it from our openSUSE build wiki? I’ve also recently updated the wiki with some of our other more recent findings, ie to install postgresql10 etc.

Yes, but also note the following:

su - postgres
-bash: /usr/share/postgresql/bash_profile: Permission denied

So although it no longer sets up our PGDATA it also doesn’t even get run!

So looks like they may have something a miss there but with the -D explicit fix we can work ‘as is’ which is convenient. Would be nice to report upstream but not sure where currently as still getting to grips with backlog and haven’t put the time into familiarity with the openSUSE bug reporting.

@jcdick1 & @Flox I’ve just re-run the wiki instructions, post changes, and I think we are good; as long as the indicated issues are observed, ie:

  1. Recent pg_config ‘in path’ fix via alternative step (note posttresql10 pkg variants).
  2. This recent -D switch thing detailed above.
  3. The recent Docker json rename detailed in #2032 (though not build related).

Proved today with fresh install of 20190425 Tumbleweed snapshot.

@jcdick1 Would you mind changing this forum’s title to indicate it’s relevance to Tumbleweed as that has become it’s main focus, given our mutual aims here.

Hope that helps.
