Nodefactory based on FreeBSD-10 ---- == Scope == - based on FreeBSD-10.1 (until release use 10-STABLE - ubound replaces bind - implement latest version of lvrouted (auto update default route) - update captive portal - cleanup packages - possibly replace thttpd (light version of apache?) == A. Setup a FreeBSD host == ---- Warning: 1) Make sure ''/usr'' is '''at least 5GB''' in size, as building images requires quite some space. 2) Make sure you install the 32bit '''i386''' release of FreeBSD also when your system does support amd64, as cross compiling can give some nasty surprises. Tip: use a separate hard disk, mounted on /usr/obj to speed up the compilation process. ---- Get yourself a fresh i386 freebsd host with ports and subversion installed as follows: === A.1. Run the basic CD installer === The procedure below has been tested with 10.0 (standard developer install - no ports -, e.g. with default partitioning will fit our needs). Installing FreeBSD is outside the scope of this document, take a look into [http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/bsdinstall.html the FreeBSD handbook Chapter 2 Installing FreeBSD] if you do not know the details. After installation and reboot apply update: {{{ # freebsd-update fetch # freebsd-update install # reboot }}} Please do mind that all commands below need to be executed as root, because of the many mounts and unmounts done in various phases. It maybe convenient to ''' permit ssh root login''' (''modify /etc/ssh/sshd_config'' accordingly). Internet connection is required. Set correct date/time, e.g: build# ntpdate 0.nl.pool.ntp.org (You may also wish to add ''ntpd_enable="YES"'' to /etc/rc.conf) === A.2 Install Subversion and Ports === Subversion is installed as a package: {{{ # pkg install subversion }}} Note: The package management tool is not yet installed on your system. So answer yes to the prompt: "Do you want to fetch and install it now? [y/N]:" Check out a copy of the ports tree. {{{ # svn checkout https://svn0.eu.FreeBSD.org/ports/head /usr/ports }}} === A.3 set some useful variables === Alter the shell configuration file:/root/.cshrc: {{{ #!sh # ensure ftp is set to passive mode, to avoid potential firewall issues: $ echo 'setenv FTP_PASSIVE_MODE YES' >> /root/.cshrc # set a default password for the images that you will produce $ echo 'setenv CFG_ROOT_PASSWORD DefaultPassword12!' >> /root/.cshrc # define your nanobsd (svn) working directory: # NOTE: All commands at later stages will refer to this so you better get it right! $ echo 'setenv R /root/nanobsd' >> /root/.cshrc }}} Next load your file (or login again): build# source /root/.cshrc === A.4. install ocaml === To compile lvrouted you need ocaml support, without X11, without TOOLBOX: build# make -C /usr/ports/devel/ocaml-findlib install clean WITHOUT="TOOLBOX X11 TK" BATCH=YES build# make -C /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/pkg install clean BATCH=yes build# make -C /usr/ports/dns/bind-tools/ install clean BATCH=yes #(required for nagios-plugins in FreeBSD10) === A.5. OPTIONAL, every developer has his own preferences, these are mine === build# make -C /usr/ports/editors/vim-lite install clean BATCH=yes build# make -C /usr/ports/security/sudo install clean BATCH=yes build# make -C /usr/ports/sysutils/screen install clean BATCH=yes === A.6. get latest sources === build# svn co svn://svn.freebsd.org/base/stable/10.0 /usr/src or use mirror svn0.eu.FreeBSD.org == B. Build environment == === B.1 Download the environment from the Wireless Leiden svn repository === {{{ $ svn checkout \ https://svn.wirelessleiden.nl/svn/code/hybrid/branches/releng-10/nanobsd $R $ cd $R }}} Note: if svn is not found: svn is in /usr/local/bin, alternatively log out and in, or use {{{rehash}}} in a {{{csh}}} shell to make it available. === B.2. Compile all required packages using === {{{ $ $R/tools/package-build.sh }}}
