This adds the capabilities SYS_ADMIN and SYSLOG to the container_create
call in build.sh as long as server deployment has been enabled.
The privileged option has been removed as it is no longer needed.
The hostnamectl-wrapper for the container has been removed as it is no
longer needed.
Several optimizations have been done to the pipelines, to make them
closer to what can be reproduced, with the existing scripts, in a
development environment:
- Use start.sh and build.sh scripts to build and start containers
- Use variables to configure different stages instead of using separate
files
- Use a commom 'prepare_environment' to create the environment for every
pipeline
- Use a single file defining testing steps (run_tests.yml)
- Remove Centos 7 pipelines
- Reduce the number of pipelines in the test matrix due to the amount of
time that tests were using
- Use Azure "loop" (each) to create test groups
The above changes make the pipelines easier to understand and modify.
When using containers to test ansible-freeipa there's a need to deal
with 'podman' the development environment and the Azure environment. In
the Azure environment, with Ubuntu hosts, using 'cap-add' does not allow
FreeIPA to be installed on the containers, and they need to be executed
with privileged mode. On the other hand, on development environments,
such as recent Fedora hosts, there's no need to run the container with
extra privileges.
This patch modifies the utility function 'container_create' to allow the
usage of key-value argumes such as "cpus=4" and "privileged", that will
be used in the container creation.
The currently available options are "privileged", "cpus", "memory" and
"hostname". By default "cpus=2" and "hostname=ipaserver.test.local".
Also, too make the image build script more self-contained, if the
required Ansible collections are not installed, they will be temporarily
installed so that the image can be built.
The help has been fixed for the -s option and the comments about how to
start the container later on has been removed as there will be a script
that is handling this..
This change also removed ansible_python_interpreter setting in the
inventory as the interpreter should be discovered by ansible for the
distributions.
The dockerfiles have been adapted to not force the installation of
python3 for CentOS-Stream 8, 9 and 10.
If the deployment was enabled and failed, the script still continued
without failing. If podman was missing it failed without a proper error.
The script now fails and does not enable the services and also does not
commit after the failed deployment. Also is fails if podman is missing.
This patch modifies the image building script by adding:
- An usage message.
- An option "-I" to NOT install IPA to the generated container.
- An opiton "-c NAME" to both set the name and use an existing container
to ONLY install IPA.
- Rename "scenario" to "DISTRO" as "scenario" should be used for the
container scenario usage, rather than the distro (I'll change the name
also in the Azure scripts)
- Use 'log' (from shlog) to print messages.
The new image builder is not using molecule and uses podman directly for
the generation of the ansible-test images.
Two additional services are installed to simplify the use of the
container in the test:
- fixnet.service uses /root/fixnet.sh to fix IP address of the server in
/etc/hosts and to set localhost as the nameserver.
This service is executed before IPA is started. This eliminates the
need to restart the IPA server after the container has been started
and the IPs have been fixed.
- fixipaip.service uses /root/fixipaip.sh to fix the IP address of the
IPA dnsrecords of server and ipa-ca.
With these services it is now only needed to wait till all services in
the container are started. There is no need to restart the IPA server
anymore. Simply use something like this before starting the tests:
while [ -n "$(podman exec ansible-test systemctl list-jobs | grep -vi 'no jobs running')" ]; do echo "waiting.."; sleep 5; done
