codersos / image-creator-server Goto Github PK

There should be a server running somewhere. We can note down which servers run here:

https://github.com/CodersOS/create/blob/master/_data/build-servers.yml

• put the containers in a special network
• add a gateway to the network/a http proxy.
• use a VPN to freifunk to mitingate DRM-problems.

The API defines the /status path. This should be implemented.

There are ways to create a multithreaded bottle server.
This allows downloading an image and also requesting status at the same time.

• secure sensitive information with threads - build numbers
• multithread the server

When a new server docker image is built, the servers can be notified.
The server has access to itself via the docker socket ->
allow this as an option to create fast-updating servers.

When the app shuts down, it should be possible to delete the images.
Currently, we get an error because some used modules are already garbage collected.

The iso files are temporary files.
In the docker container, it should be possible to put them into a volume.
This may change the ids since they now depend persistent state.

The Containers should time out in iso creation after about 2 hours and be deleted.

/ should be a website. maybe we redirect to codersos.github.io/create or show something useful.

There are several possibilities to start the server.
Maybe we can use some of these: https://github.com/loklak/loklak_server#how-do-i-install-loklak-download-build-run

When downloaded now, text/html is assumed, causing firefox to load a huge website.

Fix: the content type.

Hint: this can be done by using the static_file function. It also allows caching.

Create a docker-compose.yml file to run the server as an example and help for others to set it up more quickly.

The build numbers should be random so one can build private information with it.

The state of the server should be something like:

1. I am here
2. I am here but busy

It could be retrieved as JSON from everywhere.

When the commands are building, it would be nice to see the output while the command is running.
Some commands may take a while, so it is nice to see this.

Hint:

• it is multithreaded and waits for the commands to exit. This needs to restrucutre the docker function in the image.py.

Users should be able to opt-in for getting mails, when a build succeeded.
This may be useful as they may not be on the website for too long.

Therefore, we store username, server, email and password on in global variables.

Create a package to upload to pypi.
This can be done automatically with travis. Example

• Allow installation via pip.
• add build to travis

This should be the repository listing all the images which can be used as a basis for the image creation.

https://hub.docker.com/u/codersosimages

The server could work on old images -> pull the latest images before a build.

This should be in an own function in the image module.
