Build Sabayon from scratch with Ansible and Docker for:

• check periodically if all sabayon-distro and for-gentoo overlay works correctly

• simplify process for create a custom Sabayon Distro with different USE flags

• simplify process for manage local repository

NOTE: It's under development. Not completed.

It is based on Sabayon Dockerfile written by mudler and Sabayon Team.

• Docker
• LXD
• Ansible-2.4 (2.5 is not yet supported).

For now only for amd64 platform.

From Gentoo Stage3 tarball is created a docker image after update portage, rebuild @world and remove some unneeded packages.

Ansible tag for this image is amd64,amd64_gentoo_stage3.

From stage3-gentoo-systemd-amd64 is installed equo and entropy.

Ansible tag for this image is amd64,amd64_sabayon_stage3.

From stage3-sabayon-amd64 is configure sabayon repository and sync with last packages version.

Ansible tag for this image is amd64,amd64_sabayon_base.

The purpose of this image is to provide an image of a Sabayon base with upgrades and tools, ready to be shipped on VM(s)/LiveCDs.

Ansible tag for this image is amd64,amd64_sabayon_spinbase.

The purpose of this project is to provide an image of Sabayon docker-capable builder. It is just a Sabayon base with upgrades and compilation tools.

For complete documentation see Sabayon/docker-builder-amd64 page.

Ansible tag for this image is amd64,amd64_sabayon_builder.

Under ansible directory, for build step 1:

  $# ansible-playbook --tags amd64_gentoo_stage3 build.yml

For build step 2:

  $# ansible-playbook --tags amd64_sabayon_stage3 build.yml

For build step 3:

  $# ansible-playbook --tags amd64_sabayon_base build.yml

For build step 4:

  $# ansible-playbook --tags amd64_sabayon_spinbase build.yml

For build step 5:

  $# ansible-playbook --tags amd64_sabayon_builder build.yml

For build all AMD64 docker images:

  $# ansible-playbook --tags amd64

For build all:

  $# ansible-playbook build.yml

I begin integration of some Docker stage for ARMv7 (32bit) but is under development.

Through iso_build.yml playbook is possible create Sabayon ISO images and do changes through environment variables.

  $# ansible-playbook iso_build.yml

About what ISO you can build and add custom packages to images or custom repository see sabayon-molecules documentation.

Current ansible configuration permit build process on localhost but it is possible configure Ansible to build images to a remote machine. See Ansible documentation for details.

In particular, under localhost host variable file it is possible customize these options:

To permit a continuos delivery of the images and verify that all works fine there are different playbooks to convert docker images of different tecnologies. Currently, it is supported LXD.

For test docker image on LXD images (or with same tags for test customized test): ²

  $# ansible-playbook lxd.yml -K

This playbook create also LXD images related to every steps on configured LXD server and require root permission (or sudo password with -K option).

It is possible use playbook to simplify creation of a container with last image produced with this command:

  $# ansible-playbook lxd.yml -K --tags amd64_sabayon_spinbase --skip-tags skip_del_container -e container_name="my-container"

This create a new container with name "my-container" from sabayon_spinbase image.

For list of all tags:

  $# ansible-playbook lxd.yml --list-tags
