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
   

   If you not running docker under your user, you might need to sudo gcloud auth login --no-launch-browser && gcloud auth configure-docker before running other commands under sudo.
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
   

Creating docker containers on Windows

If you want to build/update/test docker container for Windows, you need to do this on a Windows machine.

Note: There is an existing windows-development machine that you can resume and use for development. Please stop it after use.

Here are the instructions to set up such a machine on GCP.

1. Pick a GCP Windows image with Desktop Support.

   • pick a "persistent SSD" as boot Disk. This is much faster
   • (optionally) add a "local scratch SSD" and use it as you workspace. This will make builds faster, but you will not be able to stop this instance and will have to kill and re-create it again.
   • make sure that you give enough permissions in "Identity and API access" to be able to e.g. push new docker images to GCR.

2. Format the local SSD partition and use it as workspace.

3. install Chocolately:

   iex ((new-object net.webclient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))
   

4. Install development tools: choco install -y git googlechrome vscode

5. (optionally) If you want to be able to push changes to github, you need to set up your github SSH keys and user name:

   ssh-keygen
   git config --global user.name <your name>
   git config --global user.email <your email>
   

6. Install Docker Enterprise and reboot:

   Install-Module DockerMsftProvider -Force
   Install-Package Docker -ProviderName DockerMsftProvider -Force
   Restart-Computer
   

7. Configure the Docker credentials for GCP:

   gcloud init # set options according to ./k8s_config here
   gcloud components install docker-credential-gcr
   docker-credential-gcr configure-docker
   

8. To build and run the current agent run:

   cd c:\
   git clone https://github.com/google/llvm-premerge-checks
   cd llvm-premerge-checks\containers
   .\build_deploy.ps1 agent-windows-buildkite # or agent-windows-jenkins
   c:\llvm-premerge-check\scripts\windows_agent_start_buildkite.ps1 # or windows_agent_start_jenkins.ps1
   

Spawning a new windows agent

To spawn a new windows agent:

1. Go to the GCP page and pick a new number for the agent.
2. Run kubernetes/windows_agent_create.sh agent-windows-<number>
3. Go to the GCP page again
4. Login to the new machine via RDP (you will need a RDP client, e.g. Chrome app).
5. In the RDP session: run these commands in the CMD window under Administrator to bootstrap the Windows machine:

   Invoke-WebRequest -uri 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/google/llvm-premerge-checks/master/scripts/windows_agent_bootstrap.ps1' -OutFile windows_agent_bootstrap.ps1
   ./windows_agent_bootstrap.ps1
   

   Ignore the pop-up to format the new disk andw wait for the machine to reboot.

Buildkite

1. Create c:\credentials folder with file buildkite-env.ps1:

   $Env:buildkiteAgentToken = "secret-token"
   $Env:BUILDKITE_AGENT_TAGS = "queue=premerge,os=windows"
   $Env:CONDUIT_TOKEN = "conduit-api-token"
   

2. Run

   C:\llvm-premerge-checks\scripts\windows_agent_start_buildkite.ps1 [-workdir D:/] [-testing] [-version latest]
   

Jenkins

1. Create c:\credentials folder with build-agent-results_key.json to access cloud storage copy from one of the existing machines.
2. Run

git clone https://github.com/google/llvm-premerge-checks.git "c:\llvm-premerge-checks"
C:\llvm-premerge-checks\scripts\windows_agent_start_buildkite.ps1 [-testing] [-version latest]

Testing scripts locally

Build and run agent docker image sudo ./containers/build_run.sh agent-debian-testing-ssd /bin/bash.

Within a container set environment variables similar to pipeline.

Additionally set WORKSPACE, PHID and DIFF_ID parameters. Set CONDUIT_TOKEN with your personal one from https://reviews.llvm.org/settings/user/<USERNAME>/page/apitokens/.

Phabricator integration

The general flow for builds on Phabricator is:

1. A user uploads a Diff (=patch) to a Revision (set of Diffs with comments and buildstatus, ... ).
2. A Herald checks if one of the rules matches this event.
3. You can use the rules to trigger a Build in Harbormaster.
4. Harbor sends an HTTP request to the Jenkins server.
5. Jenkins executes the build. In the last step of the build, a script is uploading the results to Phabricator.
6. Phabricator sets the build status and displays the results.

Herald

We currently have these Herald rules to configure the builds:

• Triggering builds for everyone:
  • H576 This will only trigger for non-beta testers.
• Triggering the beta-test builds:
  • H511 or the beta testers, this is for testing new features.
  • H552 for all changes to MLIR (archived)
  • H527 for all changes to clang-extra-tools (archived)

You can archive a rule to disable it.

Harbormaster

We have these build plans in Harbormaster:

• Plan 4 Builds for everyone
• Plan 3 Builds for beta testers

You can disable a build plan to stop it from building.

Per user Opt in/out

You can also on a per-user bases opt in/out to premerge testing.

• To opt-in to pre-merge beta testing, add yourself to this project: https://reviews.llvm.org/project/view/78/
• To opt-out of pre-merge testing entirely, add yourself to this project: https://reviews.llvm.org/project/view/83/

These projects are checked in the Herald rules above.
