maas - Make As A Service

Run make tasks on request in a docker container.

How it works

Execute the container as a program and a script will git clone the given repo and run the make command.

Quickstart

Run the container ahmedalhulaibi/maas:latest.

The example below will clone this repo and run the make command. It also shows how to expose the host machine's Docker socket to run Docker commands (starting/stopping containers, build, push, pull) which is required for this project.

$ docker run -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock -it ahmedalhulaibi/maas:latest https://github.com/ahmedalhulaibi/maas.git

Slower start

Create a Make

$ git clone https://github.com/ahmedalhulaibi/maas.git
$ cd maas
$ ls
Dockerfile maas.sh Makefile osname.sh README.md

Notice the Makefile is in the root of the repository ./maas/Makefile. This is mandatory.

Modify the Makefile replacing my dockerhub username ahmedalhulaibi with your dockerhub repo.

$ sed "s/ahmedalhulaibi/YOUR_USERNAME_HERE/g" Makefile

If you run the above sed command you may also want to check test target in the Makefile as there is a git URL supplied there. You'll probably want to change this.

Run make build test which will build the Docker image for make-as-a-service

Openfaas

Deploy the maas-faas function using maas-faas.yml:

faas-cli up -f ./maas-faas.yml

To start a build use call the maas-faas endpoint and pass the git repo URL via the giturl query parameter. This will return a container ID where your build job will run. You can specify which make targets to build using the makecmd query parameter.

$ curl http://192.168.99.100:31112/function/maas-faas?giturl=https://github.com/ahmedalhulaibi/maas.git&makecmd=install-tools&makecmd=build

To query the status of your build job call the same endpoint with the container query parameter

$ curl http://192.168.99.100:31112/function/maas-faas?container=db8e5686f368a58e08e4376d261c03bd758618c30b327e15d1c2daf1f8991928
