Overview

This repository contains the configuration files for the merge guards for the LLVM project. It configures a cluster of build machines that are used to check all incoming commits to the LLVM project.

Merge guards

TODO(@christiankuehnel): describe objective of merge guards

Cluster overview

The cluster consists of these services:

• Jenkins build server: http://jenkins.llvm-merge-guard.org
• a set of Jenkins agents running the builds
• an nginx server with the build results/logs http://results.llvm-merge-guard.org

Jenkins-Phabricator integration

The Jenkins-Phabricator is based on the instructions provided with the Phabricator-Jenkins Plugin.

On the Phabricator side these things were configured:

• the Harbormaster build plan
• the Herald rule

On the Jenkins side:

• in the Jenkins configuration page as explained in the instrucitons
• in the build job

There is no backup of the credentials. If you need to change it, generate a new one and update it in Jenkins and Phabricator.

Playbooks

deployment to a clean infrastructure

General remarks:

• GCP does not route any traffic to your services unless the service is "healthy". It might take a few minutes after startup before the services is classified as healthy. Until then you will only see some generic error message.

These are the steps to set up the build server on a clean infrastructure:

1. Configure the tools on your local machine:

   ./local_setup.sh
   

2. Delete the old cluster, if it still exists:

   cd kubernetes/cluster
   ./cluster_delete.sh
   

3. Create the cluster:

   cd kubernetes/cluster
   ./cluster_create.sh
   

4. Create the disk storage, if it does not yet exist:

   cd kubernetes/cluster
   ./disk_create.sh
   

5. SSH into the VM instance mounting the volume, find the mount point and then set

   # go to the mount point of the volume
   cd  /var/lib/kubelet/plugins/kubernetes.io/gce-pd/mounts/jenkins-home
   # change the permissions
   sudo chmod a+rwx
   

6. Push the docker images to gcr.io:

   cd containers
   #for each subfolder:
   ./build_deploy.sh <foldername>
   

7. Deploy the stack:

   cd kubernetes
   ./deploy.sh
   

8. Configure it

creating basic authentication for reverse proxy

1. create auth file, based on ingress-nginx documentation

   cd kubernetes/reverse-proxy
   htpasswd -c auth <username>
   # enter password at prompt
   # add more users as required
   kubectl create secret generic proxy-auth --from-file=auth --namespace=jenkins
