CI for OSX, FreeBSD, Windows and RaspberryPi

[meeh420]

I've found out I can setup CI for all systems above, including ofc. Linux too if needed. What do you think of that? We would probably need to move the i2pd project into the I2P org. or create a new one for that sake, since I will need access to the git triggers on this repository AFAIK. Maybe github got a API that removes the need of that, I can check it out if you sounds like a good idea to setup CI for all systems. (I got the servers needed)

[meeh420]

sidenote; I can get a RBPI from my workplace for this usage :) in case not I got a leftover for testing anyway.

[orignal]

Honesly, I don't know what you are talking about.

[meeh420]

CI, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_integration

Like travis. I'm suggesting to setup auto build on all systems on each commit/pull-request.

[meeh420]

Seems like travis's OSX build is broken too. Can't see it starts building even I followed the steps from the travis webpage.

Having CI on all systems would give us a heads up if we break any system on our commits.

[orignal]

So what do you want from me?

[meeh420]

Well, if you don't want to manage all the triggers and update when I need testing etc, I need access too them.. And that might require that we move the repo to an organization. I will try find out!

[orignal]

Moving repository is not an option, I will continue commiting here.
Why can't you write a scripts making clones to wherever you wish?

[meeh420]

Pull requests won't be noticed and build then, that's the only issue with that solution. But I can test on a clone and give you right setup dor this repo when it works and you apply it?

[orignal]

I though you have all necessary rights.

[mikalv]

Only to commit. Not the administrative where this is afaik. Out traveling. Will check if github api allows me access later.

[meeh420]

It would be a url ala https://github.com/orignal/i2pd/settings/hooks that I'm missing access to.

[orignal]

How can I grant it?

[meeh420]

I haven't found a way to do it yet without creating an org. If you move it to a org. you can still be the "owner" role, which is higher granted than a "admin" role you can give me. But still, I'm having access to the hooks AFAIK. The part about owner is something I know from having a org. myself.

[mikalv]

Can I mail you a setup for the "Add webhook" setting, and you set it up? Would like to keep that information private for now.

[mikalv]

also if you want please add this account to the commit allowment as well (as you did with meeh420). Makes it easier for me to commit from my dayjob Mac when doing OSX changes.

[orignal]

added

[orignal]

Let's set these setting Monday

[mikalv]

Thanks. Ok, we'll take it Monday :)

[mikalv]

Copyleft Solutions ( http://www.copyleftsolutions.com/ ) has donated a RaspberryPi to the CI case. Including hosting when it's up, meanwhile I host it :)

[orignal]

Can we get an access to it?

[mikalv]

of course. I will get down to the office a day this week and pick it up if we have more on the office, which I'm sure we got. I was thinking of setting it up against Jenkins. But do you want other access as well? (e.x ssh?)

[orignal]

Yes, it would be nice to see how it's working 24/7 there

[mikalv]

Where could we speak private? (For pasword info etc.) Is it possible for you to be for example signed into a IRC server that you check once in a while? E.x tmux + irssi from a terminal is a great setup (you can disconnect and reattach session where you left). If you miss a server for that, I can provide you a shell for this. I also got a SSL IRC server we can use so you don't need to rely on I2P. We could create a #i2pd channel on I2Irc or my server for example.

Would be great to could give you messages & questions etc that don't need github issues. (Waiting for you to show up on freenode has been kind of uneffective hehe :P )

[orignal]

You can send e-mail if you need something.

[mikalv]

I will pickup the RBPI now, I'll send you the details later today.

[mikalv]

Please send your SSH key to meeh at sigterm dot no

[mikalv]

RBPI Picked up. Installing debian now.

[mikalv]

Setup complete, read mail & join IRC for details :)

[mikalv]

First build built in /usr/src/i2pd, from commit f3c6dd4

After the building I think we use a remote crosscompiler and move the binary to the RBPI via SSH or something for testing wrt CI. This was time consuming..

[orignal]

Yes, you should. But you have to install proper toolchain

[mikalv]

Yepp, gonna setup Jenkins on a external linux server at the datacenter, and add a Jenkins node for the Win32 build at home where I got VS2013. And since Jenkins is to heavy to run properly on RBPI, especially if we're doing testing on running i2pd instances on it as well, I will make one of the Jenkins instances to build i2pd, and then move it to the RBPI via for example SSH for a validation of the binary of some kind. Maybe even execution for a small amount of time.

[mikalv]

Btw, have you checked out the RBPI more after yesterday? Any needs? Questions before using it for testing? Feel free to request if you need anything :)

[orignal]

Seems fine

[mikalv]

i2pd will be running from now on. I launched it.

If you want to check on it;

sudo -i
su - i2p
tmux a

(i2pd is running under tmux which is more or less a much better version of the "screen" application)
Short intro; Ctrl+b, D to detach, Ctrl+b, C to create new console. And you can use Alt(Mod)+ , or . to fast switch between consoles. I use the B prefix instead of A since A is used in bash. Ctrl+b, ? will give you a list of all hotkeys for tmux. tmux a is a short version of tmux attach, which will attach to the last session.

Other things worth mentioning; ntop, htop and tcpdump is installed for debugging and monitoring.

[orignal]

You should run it in daemon mode
./i2p -daemon=1
It writes to log file only.

[mikalv]

Ok, I'll restart it.

[mikalv]

Done. tmux now only tails&follow the debug log and monitoring system information. :)

[mikalv]

tmux 👍

[mikalv]

Jenkins server is setup, with Windows slave for win32 builds. Do you got time for testing github hooks? (Those settings I don't have access to)

[orignal]

I have some time today. Tell what to do.

[mikalv]

Awesome, I guess you don't want guess & trials so I'm trying to find the best way. seems it's many ways to connect. Maybe the service with the jenkins option is the right one.

Anyway, please read mail! :)

[mikalv]

This might actually work. I'll send you a webhook url on mail. https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/GitHub+Plugin
