Tinkerbell.Sandbox/releases/README.md
Jacob Weinstock 6b841fee7c This simplifies the stand-up of a sandbox: 
Only 2 main Vagrant calls are now needed (`vagrant up` and `vagrant up machine1`).
This PR only updates the Vagrant Virtualbox setup. The Vagrant Libvirt and Terraform
still need to be updated.

This uses docker-compose as the entry point for standing up the stack and makes the stand-up
of the sandbox more portal. Vagrant and Terraform are only responsible for standing up infrastructure
and then running docker-compose, not for running any glue scripts.

The docker-compose calls out to single-shot services to do all the glue required to get the fully
functional Tinkerbell stack up and running. All the single-shot services are idempotent.
This increases portability and the development iteration loop. This also simplifies the required
steps needed to get a fully functioning sandbox up and running.

This is intended to help people looking to get started by getting them to a provisioned
machine quicker and more easily.

Raw Blame History

This repository is a quick way to get the Tinkerbell stack up and running.

Currently it supports:

  1. Vagrant with libvirt and VirtualBox
  2. Terraform on Packet

Tinkerbell is made of different components: osie, boots, tink-server, tink-worker and so on. Currently they are under heavy development and we are working around the release process for all the components.

We need a way to serve a version of Tinkerbell that you can use and we know what is running the hood. Sandbox runs a pinned version for all the components via commit sha. In this way as a user you won't be effected (ideally) from new code that will may change a bit how Tinkerbell works.

We are keeping the number of breaking changes as low as possible but in the current state they are expected.

Binary release

As part of a new release for sandbox we want to push binaries to GitHub Release in this way the community will be able to use them if needed.

We build Docker images across many architectures, each of them in its own repository: boots, hegel, tink and so on.

Sandbox is just a collection of those services and we follow the same pattern for getting binaries as well.

There is a go program available in ./cmd/getbinariesfromquay/main.go. You can run it with go run or build it with go build:

$ go run cmd/getbinariesfromquay/main.go -h
  -binary-to-copy string
        The location of the binary you want to copy from inside the image. (default "/usr/bin/hegel")
  -image string
        The image you want to download binaries from. It has to be a multi stage image. (default "docker://quay.io/tinkerbell/hegel")
  -out string
        The directory that will be used to store the release binaries (default "./out")
  -program string
        The name of the program you are extracing binaries for. (eg tink-worker, hegel, tink-server, tink, boots) (default "hegel")

By default it uses the image running on Quay for Hegel and it gets the binary /usr/bin/hegel from there. The directory ./out is used to store images and binaries inside ./out/releases.

To get the binaries for example for boots you can run:

$ go run cmd/getbinariesfromquay/main.go \
    -binary-to-copy /usr/bin/boots \
    -image docker://quay.io/tinkerbell/boots:sha-9625559b \
    -program boots

You will find them in ./out/release
