- Autoupdater
- ===========
- Gluon contains an automatic update system which can be configured in the site configuration.
- Building Images
- ---------------
- By default, the autoupdater is disabled (as it is usually not helpful to have unexpected updates
- during development), but it can be enabled by setting the variable GLUON_BRANCH when building
- to override the default branch set in the set in the site configuration.
- A manifest file for the updater can be generated with `make manifest`. A signing script (using
- ecdsautils) can by found in the `contrib` directory. When creating the manifest, ``GLUON_PRIORITY`` can
- be set on the command line, or it can be taken from the ``site.mk``.
- The priority defines the maximum number of days that may pass between releasing an update and installation
- of the images. The update probability with start at 0 after the release time mentioned in the manifest
- and then slowly rise to 1 after the number of days given by the priority has passed. (Note: The priority
- doesn't have an effect as the moment, this is yet to be implemented)
- The priority may be an integer or a decimal fraction.
- A fully automated nightly build could use the following commands:
- ::
- git pull
- (cd site && git pull)
- make update
- make clean
- make -j5 GLUON_BRANCH=experimental
- make manifest GLUON_BRANCH=experimental
- contrib/sign.sh $SECRETKEY images/sysupgrade/experimental.manifest
- cp -r images /where/to/put/this/experimental
- ln -s experimental.manifest /where/to/put/this/experimental/manifest
- Infrastructure
- --------------
- We suggest to have following directory tree accessible via http:
- ::
- firmware/
- stable/
- sysupgrade/
- factory/
- snapshot/
- sysupgrade/
- factory/
- experimental/
- sysupgrade/
- factory/
- The last level is generated by the Gluon build process. Do not forget
- to create symlinks from ``manifest`` to ``<branch>.manifest`` in the
- sysupgrade directories to allow upgrades from Gluon versions before 2014.3.
- The server should be available via IPv6.
- Command Line
- ------------
- These commands can be used on a node.
- ::
- # Update with some probability
- autoupdate
- ::
- # Force update check, even when the updater is disabled
- autoupdater -f
