Yocto Autobuilder

Some notes on setting up Autobuilder.

Running setup

Follow the README-QUICKSTART, and SAVE the log output somewhere, it tells you what password it generated.

But where then?

Go to yocto-controller/controller.cfg And it will tell you the url used after starting the controllers and workers. Likely http://localhost:8010

Your password

So you go to your url and it has a login. what? where? Look for the password information generated in the output when you ran setup (see above).

Generating an .htpasswd file using your current username and RrPes4um at /media/data1/repositories/yocto-autobuilder/.htpasswd

Point to your download directory

If you're done builds before you'll have a download directory. Save some time and point to it to save fetching.

config/autobuilder.conf has pretty much all the default settings for paths etc. you'll note there is /tmp/yocto-autobuilder

symlink it to somewhere you would prefer and you can avoid modifying all the other settings pointing to that directory, including you're download directory.

Set up

Edit config/autobuilder.conf and add publish sstate, so they can be re-used for developer/local builds. PUBLISH_SSTATE = True
