Hi Loic,
Based on your feedback, a few action-items emerged for improving this
containerized approach to running teuthology jobs:
1. use install-deps.sh for installing dependencies
2. modify the sshd configuration so that the ssh port is specified at
runtime via an environment variable. This has the consequence of
being able to use --net=host and thus more than one remote can run
locally (for jobs with multiple remotes).
3. add an option to provide a sha1 so that the code gets checked out
as part of the entrypoint of the container and gets built.
4. write a 'dockerize-config' script for taking a failed job's YAML
file and modify it so that it can run with containers.
5. write a 'failed-devenv' script that given a url to a failed job
(a) fetches the YAML file (b) runs the dockerize-config script (c)
checks out the corresponding sha1 version (d) compiles the code
6. write a 'run-failed-job' that (a) re-builds the code (b)
instantiates one container for each specified remote and (c)
executes the job.
I've implemented 1-3 and am working on 4-6. In short, the goal of all
the above is to capture the dev/build/test loop and make it easier to
go from 'failed job' to 'working on a fix'. The high-level sequence is
(1) run 'make-failed-devenv' so you get the dev environment for the
failed job (2) work on a fix and (3) invoke 'run-failed-job' and
inspect results (possibly going back to 2 if need it).
Thoughts on 4-6?
cheers,
ivo
