Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: adoyle <alexddo...@gmail.com>
* Package name : due
Version : 1.3.1
Upstream Author : Alex Doyle <alexddo...@gmail.com>
* URL : https://github.com/CumulusNetworks/DUE
* License : MIT
Programming Lang: Bash
Description : Wrapper tool to create and run Docker container software
build environments.
Dedicated User Environment (DUE) is a framework for creating preconfigured
build/development
environments in Docker containers. It serves two primary purposes:
1 - Maintains configurations for creating Docker images for any build
environment, using
any architecture of any Debian based release it can find an image for.
For example, the Open Network Install Environment
(https://github.com/opencomputeproject/onie)
currently builds on Debian 8 and 9, but requires some Backports packages, and
a program that
isn't packaged for Debian. DUE maintains a configuration to get all of that
added when the
Docker image is created so ONIE can 'just build'. Apart from not requiring the
end user to
have to configure the build environment, it also allows all developers to use
the same build
environment when debugging - regardless of where they happen to be.
2 - It goes beyond 'just using a Dockerfile' by using a launcher application
that supplies
runtime configuration to Docker for the Docker images it has created. Apart
from reducing
typing and being smart about the containers that it runs (ex: containers
building Debian
packages mount the host directory _above_ the build directory so the resulting
.debs aren't
stored in the container), DUE preserves the user's identity in the container by
creating an account
for them with their user ID, and mounting their home directory so they can
access their .config files.
This creates a less intrusive development environment when the user is in a
build/test/debug
cycle.
While the above are the most important features DUE provides, there are a lot
more ways
it makes using different development configurations easier, which are
documented in
the Readme.md (https://github.com/CumulusNetworks/DUE/blob/master/README.md)
I also created a tutorial video using DUE to build ONIE as part of a talk I
gave at
OpenCompute here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5onRbZA0QQ&feature=youtu.be
History:
DUE came out of work I did at Cumulus Networks to provide build environments
for
teams of engineers building packages for Cumulus' Jessie and Buster based
releases of Cumulus Linux. When I took over as ONIE Project Lead, I saw the
opportunity
to use it to create a standard way of setting up build environments for ONIE
and any other
software projects. Cumulus saw the value in any developer being able to use it
and DUE was open sourced under the MIT license.
Q&A:
Why is this package useful/relevant?
See above.
Is it a dependency for another package?
No. It does require a version ( Debian or upstream ) of Docker to work though.
Do you use it?
All. The. Time. Building packages at work, building ONIE, and if I just need
an environment to quickly test configuration changes.
This 'dogfooding' has provided insight into fixing program behaviors that
initially seemed okay, and then became irritating through repeated use.
If there are other packages providing similar functionality, how does it
compare?
I looked around for quite a while before starting on DUE ( why reinvent the
wheel?),
but couldn't find anything that had the combination of:
- Consistent, user friendly interface
- Easy build environment configuration
- And support for Debian derivatives
...that I was looking for.
I think the closest software to this would be using schroots, and while they
can be functionally the same, the end user experience, especially for users
that
are new to Debian ( or are trying to build code that partially exists outside
the Debian ecosystem ) has less of a learning curve, and is faster to set up.
How do you plan to maintain it?
I will be updating the upstream source and doing the work to make sure it is
Debian compliant.
Are you looking for co-maintainers?
Not at the moment.
Do you need a sponsor?
Yes, as I am not a Debian Developer ( in the official sense, anyway :) )
Thank you for your consideration,
Alex Doyle
