Builder-web - a web frontend for reproducible builds
Builder-web takes in submissions of builds, typically from builder, and displays the produced artifacts in a way that makes it easy to compare checksums and build status. Produced binaries can be downloaded and run by users.
Overview
Builder-web is a single binary web server using a sqlite3 database with versioned schemas. Finished builds from builder are uploaded to builder-web, stored and indexed in the database and presented in the web interface to the user. Users can:
- Get an overview of jobs - a job is typically script or opam package that is run and builds an artifact,
- Browse all builds of a job - each job may have multiple builds, that are executed periodically by builder
- Browse individual build and download artifacts and build information for reproducing the same binary. Each build has a single binary as output - which checksum is recorded and can be searched for. The build information (opam acpackges, environment variables, host system packages) can be compared, and they may differ even if the checksum of the binary is identical.
The build artifacts are stored on the filesystem, its metadata is stored in the database.
Setup
Builder-web consists of a binary builder-web
that runs a web server on port 3000 listening on all interfaces by default.
These values can be changed with the --port
and --host
flags respectively.
See builder-web --help
for more information.
The web server expects a sqlite3 database in its data directory.
Database migrations
The sqlite3 database builder-web uses contains versioning information.
On every schema change the database schema version is updated, and migration and rollback scripts are provided.
The tool for database migrations is builder-migrations
.
See the --help
output for each migration for further details.
