With that, the Dockerfile modifications[0] currently done externally
are done now here. That means that the created rootfs tarball can be
directly used within a Dockerfile to create a container from scratch:
FROM scratch
ADD livecd.ubuntu-oci.rootfs.tar.gz /
CMD ["/bin/bash"]
[0]
https://github.com/tianon/docker-brew-ubuntu-core/blob/master/update.sh
This is a copy of the ubuntu-base project.
Currently ubuntu-base is used as a base for the docker/OCI container
images. The rootfs tarball that is created with ubuntu-base is
published under [0]. That tarball is used in the FROM statement of the
Dockerfile as base and then a couple of modifications are done inside
of the Dockerfile[1].
The ubuntu-oci project will include the changes that are currently
done in the Dockerfile. With that:
1) a Dockerfile using that tarball will be just a 2 line thing:
FROM scratch
ADD ubuntu-hirsute-core-cloudimg-amd64-root.tar.gz /
CMD ["/bin/bash"]
2) Ubuntu has the full control about the build process of the
docker/OCI container. No external sources (like [1]) need to be
modified anymore.
3) Ubuntu can publish containers without depending on the official
dockerhub containers[2]. Currently the containers for the AWS ECR
registry[3] use as a base[4] the official dockerhub containers. That's
no longer needed because a container just needs a Dockerfile described
in 1)
When the ubuntu-oci project has the modifications from [1] included,
we'll also update [1] to use the ubuntu-oci rootfs tarball as a base
and drop the modifications done at [1].
Note: Creating a new ubuntu-oci project instead of using ubuntu-base
will make sure that we don't break users who are currently using
ubuntu-base rootfs tarballs for doing their own thing.

shim-signed depends on grub-efi-amd64-signed, which in turn has
alternative depends on either `grub-efi-amd64 | grub-pc`. However to
support booting with either via shim&signed-grub and BIOS, the choice
must be made to install grub-pc, not grub-efi-amd64.
This makes images consistent with Ubuntu Deskop, Live Server, buildd
bootable images; all of which already do install grub-pc and
shim-signed.
LP: #1901906
When desktop-preinstalled image options were added in
38157b3748, for the raspi subarch, the
options listed there were not scoped for raspi subarch. This results
in those options getting also applied for the HYPERV
ubuntu:desktop-preinstalled image.
Thus scope the newly added options under raspi subarch case only.
Regression introduced in 38157b3748 when
desktop-preinstalled code branch was added, it dropped addint
ubuntu-desktop task. Instead it added ubuntu-desktop-raspi task, only
for the raspi subarch, which depends on ubuntu-desktop. But the hyperv
case, now ended up without ubuntu-desktop task.
It looks like introduction of "desktop-preinstalled" assumed, that it
is for raspi only, when in fact that code path now started to be used
for hyperv gallery image too.
The seed now specifies the lxd snap in focal as
'lxd=4.0/stable/ubuntu-20.04' which doesn't match the expectations of
the code with looks for lxd as the only snap in the seed for minimized
images. This patch updates the pattern to accept 'lxd' or 'lxd=*'.
Builds in LP with the Xenial kernel were happy with the recursive mount of
/sys inside the chroot while performing snap-preseeding but autopkgtests
with the groovy kernel failed. With the groovy kernel the build was
unable to unmount sys/kernel/slab/*/cgroup/* (Operation not permitted).
This patch mounts /sys and /sys/kernel/security in the chroot in the
same way we've added for binary hooks. This provides the paths under
/sys needed for snap-preseed while avoiding issues unmounting other
paths.
The snap-preseed command can do a number of things during the build
that are currently performed at first boot (apparmor profiles, systemd
unit generation, etc). This patch adds a call to reset the seeding and
apply these optimizations when adding a seeded snap. As a prerequisite
to calling snap-preseed we need to make /dev/mem available as well as
mounts from the host to perform this work, so those are also added here.
I recently pulled initramfs logic out of the base build hook, and
dropped that into the `replace_kernel` function. Any cloud image that
does not leverage the generic virtual kernel was expected to call
`replace_kernel` to pull in a custom kernel. That function will
disable initramfs boot for images that use a custom kernel.
Minimal cloud images on amd64 use the linux-kvm kernel, but the build
hook does not utilize the `replace_kernel` function. Instead, the
kernel flavor is set in `auto/config`. I pulled that logic out of
`auto/config` and am now calling `replace_kernel` in the build hook.
I also moved a call to generate the package list so that it will pick
up the change to the linux-kvm kernel.
When we encounter a failure in 'lb binary' the launchpad builders can
only surface the build output from stdout. If the binary hook failure
implicates the archive we can not determine fault without the apt
proxy log. This patch will dump the proxy log to stdout to aid in
debugging these failures.
When getting the list of snaps to include on an image via germinate, we
process the snaps in alphabetical order. Currently we seed several
packages `gnome-foo` and also `gtk-common-themes`, the default provider
of `gtk-3-themes`. Since `gtk-common-themes` is alphabetically after
`gnome-foo`, the `seed.yaml` we generate is invalid when we are part way
through generating.
What we really care about, though, is not that the `seed.yaml` is always
valid at every step, but it is that it is valid at the *end* of seeding.
So for the germinate case, let's defer validation to happen once at the
end. Other callsites of `snap_preseed`, where callers are careful to
seed snaps in the right order, are unaffected by this.
The livecd.ubuntu-cpc.ext4 that is present in each build (plus kernel
and initrd) are not renamed from /build/binary/boot/filsystem.ext4
and friends until after the binary hooks are run, so this patch moves
from trying to perform this cleanup in a binary hook. Now the cleanup
will be run at the end of live-build/binary for the ubuntu-cpc project.
This is another thing that goes unused when there is no human console user
(and we already don't have the locales themselves present on a minimal
image).

This avoids us having apt cache files in the final image.
For auto/build, we move the call to clean_debian_chroot to the end,
this also takes care of the caches generated by apt-get update
in case of a preinstalled-pool.
For layered, it's just a simple swap of the lines.
LP: #1826377
grub-probe must not be called during image build so grub is diverted. In
multilayer image the chroot is always the tip of the filesystem, so we
divert grub at the beginning of each pass and undivdert it as the end.
For flat images, it's diverted just before building the chroot and
undiverted after.
UbuntuStudio image builds have recently begun failing as a result of adding a
grub theme customization to their flavor, which they then try to apply by
running update-grub from their maintainer scripts. This fails with:
Setting up plymouth-theme-ubuntustudio (0.57) ...
update-alternatives: using /usr/share/plymouth/themes/ubuntustudio-logo/ubuntustudio-logo.plymouth to provide /usr/share/plymouth/themes/default.plymouth (default.plymouth) in auto mode
update-alternatives: using /usr/share/plymouth/themes/ubuntustudio-text/ubuntustudio-text.plymouth to provide /usr/share/plymouth/themes/text.plymouth (text.plymouth) in auto mode
update-initramfs: diverted by livecd-rootfs (will be called later)
/usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?).
dpkg: error processing package plymouth-theme-ubuntustudio (--configure):
installed plymouth-theme-ubuntustudio package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1
Packages providing grub themes should be able to call update-grub from their
maintainer scripts, and they should be able to be installed under
livecd-rootfs. It's surprising to me that this hasn't been a problem before
now for any flavors.
We know that grub-probe should not be called as part of an image build, so
just use our standard helper function to divert it before running the chroot
stage and undivert it after.
When the REPO_SNAPSHOT_STAMP variable is set, the auto/build script will attempt
to launch a transparent HTTP proxy on port 8080, and insert an iptables rule to
redirect all outgoing HTTP requests to this proxy.
The proxy, contained in the `magic-proxy` Python script, examines each request
and silently overrides those pointing to InRelease files or files that are
listed in InRelease files. It will instead provide the contents of the requested
file as it was at REPO_SNAPSHOT_STAMP, by downloading the corresponding asset
"by hash".
We don't want to regress the ubuntu desktop traditional image when
livecd-rootfs lands uncordinated with ubuntu-cdimage & debian-cd.
Decoupling enables us to:
- land livecd-rootfs (no change for ubuntu-desktop project,
ubuntu-desktop:ubiquity-ng can be tested once the 2 others branches
lands)
- land ubuntu-cdimage & debian-cd for publishing any arbitrary squashfs
names
- finally, revert that commit and land it in livecd-rootfs to transform
the traditional ubuntu-desktop image to a layered approach.
Fixed prefix for passes to not conflict with global prefix
Set layer to none for layer without language packs
Copy size and manifest to the target directory
Make sure the diff always diffes existing manifests
Default Ubuntu desktop to the layered format
Remove the requirement on setting IMAGEFORMAT to layered to build a
layered image and relies on PASSED instead.
Don't install gpg or gpg-agent when building buildd images for series
earlier than bionic. (In earlier series, those packages didn't exist
and gnupg was build-essential.)
This patch currently only applies to the "ubuntu-cpc" project.
More and more logic has been going into the hook scripts to decide under which conditions they should run or not. As we are moving to parallelized builds of image sets, this will get even more complicated. Base hooks will have to know which image sets they belong to and modification of the dependency chain between scripts will become more complicated and prone to errors, as the number of image sets grows.
This patch introduces explicit ordering and dependency handling for scripts through the use of `series` files and an explicit syntax for dependency specification.
When no channel is given for a pre-seeded snap, the channel
should be stable/ubuntu-XX.YY to match Ubuntu policy.
This patch adds the LB_DISTRIBUTION var to config/{binary,chroot}
to have a common way of determining the Ubuntu XX.YY version
number between hooks and auto/build.
mirror (BASE_SEED.minimal-remove) and putting it into the livefs build as
filesystem.manifest-minimal-remove. It's intended for ubiquity to read
this file as a list of packages to remove when doing a 'minimal' desktop
installation.
* live-build/auto/config: Reinstate hostname filtering for "*.buildd", which
is the correct match for non-lxd builders, and add "lp-*" for the lxd ones.
* live-build/auto/config: Fix incorrect quoting causing a skipped if statement
in non-live ubuntu-server builds since sometime in mid-October of last year.
Cloud images created from the 'ubuntu-cpc' project use lzma initramfs
compression for the initial initramfs shipped in the image; this is the
default for livecd-rootfs. When a user updates the initramfs (or installs
a new kernel) on a running instance created from a cloud image they will
get gzip compression, which is the default shipped in initramfs-tools.
With this patch the compression method used to create the initramfs in
the initial cloud images will match the compression menthod used when
the end-user creates/updates an initramfs, namely gzip compression.
We run germinate during configure, and read from each resulting <seed>.snaps
file (expanded from STRUCTURE) to find out which snaps to seed. This is written
to config/seeded-snaps, which is read during build to download each one.
