SPDX-License-Identifier: CC-BY-2.0-UK + +************ +Introduction +************ + +Toaster is a web interface to the Yocto Project's +:term:`OpenEmbedded Build System`. The interface +enables you to configure and run your builds. Information about builds +is collected and stored in a database. You can use Toaster to configure +and start builds on multiple remote build servers. + +.. _intro-features: + +Toaster Features +================ + +Toaster allows you to configure and run builds, and it provides +extensive information about the build process. + +- *Configure and Run Builds:* You can use the Toaster web interface to + configure and start your builds. Builds started using the Toaster web + interface are organized into projects. When you create a project, you + are asked to select a release, or version of the build system you + want to use for the project builds. As shipped, Toaster supports + Yocto Project releases 1.8 and beyond. With the Toaster web + interface, you can: + + - Browse layers listed in the various + :ref:`layer sources <toaster-manual/toaster-manual-reference:layer source>` + that are available in your project (e.g. the OpenEmbedded Layer Index at + http://layers.openembedded.org/layerindex/). + + - Browse images, recipes, and machines provided by those layers. + + - Import your own layers for building. + + - Add and remove layers from your configuration. + + - Set configuration variables. + + - Select a target or multiple targets to build. + + - Start your builds. + + Toaster also allows you to configure and run your builds from the + command line, and switch between the command line and the web + interface at any time. Builds started from the command line appear + within a special Toaster project called "Command line builds". + +- *Information About the Build Process:* Toaster also records extensive + information about your builds. Toaster collects data for builds you + start from the web interface and from the command line as long as + Toaster is running. + + .. note:: + + You must start Toaster before the build or it will not collect + build data. + + With Toaster you can: + + - See what was built (recipes and packages) and what packages were + installed into your final image. + + - Browse the directory structure of your image. + + - See the value of all variables in your build configuration, and + which files set each value. + + - Examine error, warning, and trace messages to aid in debugging. + + - See information about the BitBake tasks executed and reused during + your build, including those that used shared state. + + - See dependency relationships between recipes, packages, and tasks. + + - See performance information such as build time, task time, CPU + usage, and disk I/O. + +For an overview of Toaster shipped with the Yocto Project &DISTRO; +Release, see the "`Toaster - Yocto Project +2.2 <https://youtu.be/BlXdOYLgPxA>`__" video. + +.. _toaster-installation-options: + +Installation Options +==================== + +You can set Toaster up to run as a local instance or as a shared hosted +service. + +When Toaster is set up as a local instance, all the components reside on +a single build host.

SPDX-License-Identifier: CC-BY-2.0-UK + +********************** +Concepts and Reference +********************** + +In order to configure and use Toaster, you should understand some +concepts and have some basic command reference material available. This +final chapter provides conceptual information on layer sources, +releases, and JSON configuration files. Also provided is a quick look at +some useful ``manage.py`` commands that are Toaster-specific. +Information on ``manage.py`` commands does exist across the Web and the +information in this manual by no means attempts to provide a command +comprehensive reference. + +Layer Source +============ + +In general, a "layer source" is a source of information about existing +layers. In particular, we are concerned with layers that you can use +with the Yocto Project and Toaster. This chapter describes a particular +type of layer source called a "layer index." + +A layer index is a web application that contains information about a set +of custom layers. A good example of an existing layer index is the +OpenEmbedded Layer Index. A public instance of this layer index exists +at http://layers.openembedded.org. You can find the code for this +layer index's web application at +http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/layerindex-web/. + +When you tie a layer source into Toaster, it can query the layer source +through a +`REST <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representational_state_transfer>`__ +API, store the information about the layers in the Toaster database, and +then show the information to users. Users are then able to view that +information and build layers from Toaster itself without worrying about +cloning or editing the BitBake layers configuration file +``bblayers.conf``. + +Tying a layer source into Toaster is convenient when you have many +custom layers that need to be built on a regular basis by a community of +developers. In fact, Toaster comes pre-configured with the OpenEmbedded +Metadata Index. + +.. note:: + + You do not have to use a layer source to use Toaster. Tying into a + layer source is optional. + +.. _layer-source-using-with-toaster: + +Setting Up and Using a Layer Source +----------------------------------- + +To use your own layer source, you need to set up the layer source and +then tie it into Toaster. This section describes how to tie into a layer +index in a manner similar to the way Toaster ties into the OpenEmbedded +Metadata Index. + +Understanding Your Layers +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The obvious first step for using a layer index is to have several custom +layers that developers build and access using the Yocto Project on a +regular basis. This set of layers needs to exist and you need to be +familiar with where they reside. You will need that information when you +set up the code for the web application that "hooks" into your set of +layers. + +For general information on layers, see the +":ref:`overview-manual/overview-manual-yp-intro:the yocto project layer model`" +section in the Yocto Project Overview and Concepts Manual. For information on how +to create layers, see the ":ref:`dev-manual/dev-manual-common-tasks:understanding and creating layers`" +section in the Yocto Project Development Tasks Manual. + +.. _configuring-toaster-to-hook-into-your-layer-source: + +Configuring Toaster to Hook Into Your Layer Index +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +If you want Toaster to use your layer index, you must host the web +application in a server to which Toaster can connect. You also need to +give Toaster the information about your layer index. In other words, you +have to configure Toaster to use your layer index. This section +describes two methods by which you can configure and use your layer +index. + +In the previous section, the code for the OpenEmbedded Metadata Index +(i.e. http://layers.openembedded.org) was referenced. You can use +this code, which is at +http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/layerindex-web/, as a +base to create your own layer index. + +Use the Administration Interface +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +Access the administration interface through a browser by entering the +URL of your Toaster instance and adding "``/admin``" to the end of the +URL. As an example, if you are running Toaster locally, use the +following URL:: + + http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin + +The administration interface has a "Layer sources" section that includes +an "Add layer source" button. Click that button and provide the required +information. Make sure you select "layerindex" as the layer source type. + +Use the Fixture Feature +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +The Django fixture feature overrides the default layer server when you +use it to specify a custom URL. To use the fixture feature, create (or +edit) the file ``bitbake/lib/toaster.orm/fixtures/custom.xml``, and then +set the following Toaster setting to your custom URL: + +.. code-block:: xml + + <?xml version="1.0" ?> + <django-objects version="1.0"> + <object model="orm.toastersetting" pk="100"> + <field name="name" type="CharField">CUSTOM_LAYERINDEX_SERVER</field> + <field name="value" type="CharField">https://layers.my_organization.org/layerindex/branch/master/layers/</field> + </object> + <django-objects> + +When you start Toaster for the first time, or +if you delete the file ``toaster.sqlite`` and restart, the database will +populate cleanly from this layer index server. + +Once the information has been updated, verify the new layer information +is available by using the Toaster web interface. To do that, visit the +"All compatible layers" page inside a Toaster project. The layers from +your layer source should be listed there. + +If you change the information in your layer index server, refresh the +Toaster database by running the following command: + +.. code-block:: shell + + $ bitbake/lib/toaster/manage.py lsupdates + + +If Toaster can reach the API URL, you should see a message telling you that +Toaster is updating the layer source information. + +.. _toaster-releases: + +Releases +======== + +When you create a Toaster project using the web interface, you are asked +to choose a "Release." In the context of Toaster, the term "Release" +refers to a set of layers and a BitBake version the OpenEmbedded build +system uses to build something. As shipped, Toaster is pre-configured +with releases that correspond to Yocto Project release branches. +However, you can modify, delete, and create new releases according to +your needs. This section provides some background information on +releases. + +.. _toaster-releases-supported: + +Pre-Configured Releases +----------------------- + +As shipped, Toaster is configured to use a specific set of releases. Of +course, you can always configure Toaster to use any release. For +example, you might want your project to build against a specific commit +of any of the "out-of-the-box" releases. Or, you might want your project +to build against different revisions of OpenEmbedded and BitBake. + +As shipped, Toaster is configured to work with the following releases: + +- *Yocto Project &DISTRO; "&DISTRO_NAME;" or OpenEmbedded "&DISTRO_NAME;":* + This release causes your Toaster projects to build against the head + of the &DISTRO_NAME_NO_CAP; branch at + https://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/log/?h=&DISTRO_NAME_NO_CAP; or + http://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/commit/?h=&DISTRO_NAME_NO_CAP;. + +- *Yocto Project "Master" or OpenEmbedded "Master":* This release + causes your Toaster Projects to build against the head of the master + branch, which is where active development takes place, at + https://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/log/ or + http://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/log/. + +- *Local Yocto Project or Local OpenEmbedded:* This release causes your + Toaster Projects to build against the head of the ``poky`` or + ``openembedded-core`` clone you have local to the machine running + Toaster. + +Configuring Toaster +=================== + +In order to use Toaster, you must configure the database with the +default content. The following subsections describe various aspects of +Toaster configuration. + +Configuring the Workflow +------------------------ + +The ``bldcontrol/management/commands/checksettings.py`` file controls +workflow configuration. The following steps outline the process to +initially populate this database. + +1. The default project settings are set from + ``orm/fixtures/settings.xml``. + +2. The default project distro and layers are added from + ``orm/fixtures/poky.xml`` if poky is installed. If poky is not + installed, they are added from ``orm/fixtures/oe-core.xml``. + +3. If the ``orm/fixtures/custom.xml`` file exists, then its values are + added. + +4. The layer index is then scanned and added to the database. + +Once these steps complete, Toaster is set up and ready to use. + +Customizing Pre-Set Data +------------------------ + +The pre-set data for Toaster is easily customizable. You can create the +``orm/fixtures/custom.xml`` file to customize the values that go into to +the database. Customization is additive, and can either extend or +completely replace the existing values. + +You use the ``orm/fixtures/custom.xml`` file to change the default +project settings for the machine, distro, file images, and layers. When +creating a new project, you can use the file to define the offered +alternate project release selections. For example, you can add one or +more additional selections that present custom layer sets or distros, +and any other local or proprietary content. + +Additionally, you can completely disable the content from the +``oe-core.xml`` and ``poky.xml`` files by defining the section shown +below in the ``settings.xml`` file. For example, this option is +particularly useful if your custom configuration defines fewer releases +or layers than the default fixture files. + +The following example sets "name" to "CUSTOM_XML_ONLY" and its value to +"True". + +.. code-block:: xml + + <object model="orm.toastersetting" pk="99"> + <field type="CharField" name="name">CUSTOM_XML_ONLY</field> + <field type="CharField" name="value">True</field> + </object> + +Understanding Fixture File Format +--------------------------------- + +The following is an overview of the file format used by the +``oe-core.xml``, ``poky.xml``, and ``custom.xml`` files. + +The following subsections describe each of the sections in the fixture +files, and outline an example section of the XML code. you can use to +help understand this information and create a local ``custom.xml`` file. + +Defining the Default Distro and Other Values +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +This section defines the default distro value for new projects. By +default, it reserves the first Toaster Setting record "1". The following +demonstrates how to set the project default value for +:term:`DISTRO`: + +.. code-block:: xml + + <!-- Set the project default value for DISTRO --> + <object model="orm.toastersetting" pk="1"> + <field type="CharField" name="name">DEFCONF_DISTRO</field> + <field type="CharField" name="value">poky</field> + </object> + +You can override +other default project values by adding additional Toaster Setting +sections such as any of the settings coming from the ``settings.xml`` +file. Also, you can add custom values that are included in the BitBake +environment. The "pk" values must be unique. By convention, values that +set default project values have a "DEFCONF" prefix. + +Defining BitBake Version +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The following defines which version of BitBake is used for the following +release selection: + +.. code-block:: xml + + <!-- Bitbake versions which correspond to the metadata release --> + <object model="orm.bitbakeversion" pk="1"> + <field type="CharField" name="name">&DISTRO_NAME_NO_CAP;</field> + <field type="CharField" name="giturl">git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky</field> + <field type="CharField" name="branch">&DISTRO_NAME_NO_CAP;</field> + <field type="CharField" name="dirpath">bitbake</field> + </object> + +.. _defining-releases: + +Defining Release +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The following defines the releases when you create a new project: + +.. code-block:: xml + + <!-- Releases available --> + <object model="orm.release" pk="1"> + <field type="CharField" name="name">&DISTRO_NAME_NO_CAP;</field> + <field type="CharField" name="description">Yocto Project &DISTRO; "&DISTRO_NAME;"</field> + <field rel="ManyToOneRel" to="orm.bitbakeversion" name="bitbake_version">1</field> + <field type="CharField" name="branch_name">&DISTRO_NAME_NO_CAP;</field> + <field type="TextField" name="helptext">Toaster will run your builds using the tip of the <a href="http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/log/?h=&DISTRO_NAME_NO_CAP;">Yocto Project &DISTRO_NAME; branch</a>.</field> + </object> + +The "pk" value must match the above respective BitBake version record. + +Defining the Release Default Layer Names +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The following defines the default layers for each release: + +.. code-block:: xml + + <!-- Default project layers for each release --> + <object model="orm.releasedefaultlayer" pk="1"> + <field rel="ManyToOneRel" to="orm.release" name="release">1</field> + <field type="CharField" name="layer_name">openembedded-core</field> + </object> + +The 'pk' values in the example above should start at "1" and increment +uniquely. You can use the same layer name in multiple releases. + +Defining Layer Definitions +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Layer definitions are the most complex. The following defines each of +the layers, and then defines the exact layer version of the layer used +for each respective release. You must have one ``orm.layer`` entry for +each layer. Then, with each entry you need a set of +``orm.layer_version`` entries that connects the layer with each release +that includes the layer. In general all releases include the layer. + +.. code-block:: xml + + <object model="orm.layer" pk="1"> + <field type="CharField" name="name">openembedded-core</field> + <field type="CharField" name="layer_index_url"></field> + <field type="CharField" name="vcs_url">git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky</field> + <field type="CharField" name="vcs_web_url">http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky</field> + <field type="CharField" name="vcs_web_tree_base_url">http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/tree/%path%?h=%branch%</field> + <field type="CharField" name="vcs_web_file_base_url">http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/tree/%path%?h=%branch%</field> + </object> + <object model="orm.layer_version" pk="1"> + <field rel="ManyToOneRel" to="orm.layer" name="layer">1</field> + <field type="IntegerField" name="layer_source">0</field> + <field rel="ManyToOneRel" to="orm.release" name="release">1</field> + <field type="CharField" name="branch">&DISTRO_NAME_NO_CAP;</field> + <field type="CharField" name="dirpath">meta</field> + </object> <object model="orm.layer_version" pk="2"> + <field rel="ManyToOneRel" to="orm.layer" name="layer">1</field> + <field type="IntegerField" name="layer_source">0</field> + <field rel="ManyToOneRel" to="orm.release" name="release">2</field> + <field type="CharField" name="branch">HEAD</field> + <field type="CharField" name="commit">HEAD</field> + <field type="CharField" name="dirpath">meta</field> + </object> + <object model="orm.layer_version" pk="3"> + <field rel="ManyToOneRel" to="orm.layer" name="layer">1</field> + <field type="IntegerField" name="layer_source">0</field> + <field rel="ManyToOneRel" to="orm.release" name="release">3</field> + <field type="CharField" name="branch">master</field> + <field type="CharField" name="dirpath">meta</field> + </object> + +The layer "pk" values above must be unique, and typically start at "1". The +layer version "pk" values must also be unique across all layers, and typically +start at "1". + +Remote Toaster Monitoring +========================= + +Toaster has an API that allows remote management applications to +directly query the state of the Toaster server and its builds in a +machine-to-machine manner. This API uses the +`REST <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representational_state_transfer>`__ +interface and the transfer of JSON files. For example, you might monitor +a build inside a container through well supported known HTTP ports in +order to easily access a Toaster server inside the container. In this +example, when you use this direct JSON API, you avoid having web page +parsing against the display the user sees. + +Checking Health +--------------- + +Before you use remote Toaster monitoring, you should do a health check. +To do this, ping the Toaster server using the following call to see if +it is still alive:: + + http://host:port/health + +Be sure to provide values for host and port. If the server is alive, you will +get the response HTML: + +.. code-block:: html + + <!DOCTYPE html> + <html lang="en"> + <head><title>Toaster Health</title></head> + <body>Ok</body> + </html> + +Determining Status of Builds in Progress +---------------------------------------- + +Sometimes it is useful to determine the status of a build in progress. +To get the status of pending builds, use the following call:: + + http://host:port/toastergui/api/building + +Be sure to provide values for host and port. The output is a JSON file that +itemizes all builds in progress. This file includes the time in seconds since +each respective build started as well as the progress of the cloning, parsing, +and task execution. The following is sample output for a build in progress: + +.. code-block:: JSON + + {"count": 1, + "building": [ + {"machine": "beaglebone", + "seconds": "463.869", + "task": "927:2384", + "distro": "poky", + "clone": "1:1", + "id": 2, + "start": "2017-09-22T09:31:44.887Z", + "name": "20170922093200", + "parse": "818:818", + "project": "my_rocko", + "target": "core-image-minimal" + }] + } + +The JSON data for this query is returned in a +single line. In the previous example the line has been artificially +split for readability. + +Checking Status of Builds Completed +----------------------------------- + +Once a build is completed, you get the status when you use the following +call:: + + http://host:port/toastergui/api/builds + +Be sure to provide values for host and port. The output is a JSON file that +itemizes all complete builds, and includes build summary information. The +following is sample output for a completed build: + +.. code-block:: JSON + + {"count": 1, + "builds": [ + {"distro": "poky", + "errors": 0, + "machine": "beaglebone", + "project": "my_rocko", + "stop": "2017-09-22T09:26:36.017Z", + "target": "quilt-native", + "seconds": "78.193", + "outcome": "Succeeded", + "id": 1, + "start": "2017-09-22T09:25:17.824Z", + "warnings": 1, + "name": "20170922092618" + }] + } + +The JSON data for this query is returned in a single line. In the +previous example the line has been artificially split for readability. + +Determining Status of a Specific Build +-------------------------------------- + +Sometimes it is useful to determine the status of a specific build. To +get the status of a specific build, use the following call:: + + http://host:port/toastergui/api/build/ID + +Be sure to provide values for +host, port, and ID. You can find the value for ID from the Builds +Completed query. See the ":ref:`toaster-manual/toaster-manual-reference:checking status of builds completed`" +section for more information. + +The output is a JSON file that itemizes the specific build and includes +build summary information. The following is sample output for a specific +build: + +.. code-block:: JSON + + {"build": + {"distro": "poky", + "errors": 0, + "machine": "beaglebone", + "project": "my_rocko", + "stop": "2017-09-22T09:26:36.017Z", + "target": "quilt-native", + "seconds": "78.193", + "outcome": "Succeeded", + "id": 1, + "start": "2017-09-22T09:25:17.824Z", + "warnings": 1, + "name": "20170922092618", + "cooker_log": "/opt/user/poky/build-toaster-2/tmp/log/cooker/beaglebone/build_20170922_022607.991.log" + } + } + +The JSON data for this query is returned in a single line. In the +previous example the line has been artificially split for readability. + +.. _toaster-useful-commands: + +Useful Commands +=============== + +In addition to the web user interface and the scripts that start and +stop Toaster, command-line commands exist through the ``manage.py`` +management script. You can find general documentation on ``manage.py`` +at the +`Django <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.2/topics/settings/>`__ +site. However, several ``manage.py`` commands have been created that are +specific to Toaster and are used to control configuration and back-end +tasks. You can locate these commands in the +:term:`Source Directory` (e.g. ``poky``) at +``bitbake/lib/manage.py``. This section documents those commands. + +.. note:: + + - When using ``manage.py`` commands given a default configuration, + you must be sure that your working directory is set to the + :term:`Build Directory`. Using + ``manage.py`` commands from the Build Directory allows Toaster to + find the ``toaster.sqlite`` file, which is located in the Build + Directory. + + - For non-default database configurations, it is possible that you + can use ``manage.py`` commands from a directory other than the + Build Directory. To do so, the ``toastermain/settings.py`` file + must be configured to point to the correct database backend. + +.. _toaster-command-buildslist: + +``buildslist`` +-------------- + +The ``buildslist`` command lists all builds that Toaster has recorded. +Access the command as follows: + +.. code-block:: shell + + $ bitbake/lib/toaster/manage.py buildslist + +The command returns a list, which includes numeric +identifications, of the builds that Toaster has recorded in the current +database. + +You need to run the ``buildslist`` command first to identify existing +builds in the database before using the +:ref:`toaster-manual/toaster-manual-reference:\`\`builddelete\`\`` command. Here is an +example that assumes default repository and build directory names: + +.. code-block:: shell + + $ cd ~/poky/build + $ python ../bitbake/lib/toaster/manage.py buildslist + +If your Toaster database had only one build, the above +:ref:`toaster-manual/toaster-manual-reference:\`\`buildslist\`\`` +command would return something like the following:: + + 1: qemux86 poky core-image-minimal + +.. _toaster-command-builddelete: + +``builddelete`` +--------------- + +The ``builddelete`` command deletes data associated with a build. Access +the command as follows: + +.. code-block:: + + $ bitbake/lib/toaster/manage.py builddelete build_id + +The command deletes all the build data for the specified +build_id. This command is useful for removing old and unused data from +the database. + +Prior to running the ``builddelete`` command, you need to get the ID +associated with builds by using the +:ref:`toaster-manual/toaster-manual-reference:\`\`buildslist\`\`` command. + +.. _toaster-command-perf: + +``perf`` +-------- + +The ``perf`` command measures Toaster performance. Access the command as +follows: + +.. code-block:: shell + + $ bitbake/lib/toaster/manage.py perf + +The command is a sanity check that returns page loading times in order to +identify performance problems. + +.. _toaster-command-checksettings: + +``checksettings`` +----------------- + +The ``checksettings`` command verifies existing Toaster settings. Access +the command as follows: + +.. code-block:: shell + + $ bitbake/lib/toaster/manage.py checksettings + +Toaster uses settings that are based on the database to configure the +building tasks. The ``checksettings`` command verifies that the database +settings are valid in the sense that they have the minimal information +needed to start a build. + +In order for the ``checksettings`` command to work, the database must be +correctly set up and not have existing data. To be sure the database is +ready, you can run the following: + +.. code-block:: shell + + $ bitbake/lib/toaster/manage.py syncdb + $ bitbake/lib/toaster/manage.py migrate orm + $ bitbake/lib/toaster/manage.py migrate bldcontrol + +After running these commands, you can run the ``checksettings`` command. + +.. _toaster-command-runbuilds: + +``runbuilds`` +------------- + +The ``runbuilds`` command launches scheduled builds.

You can use the ``WEBPORT`` +parameter to set a different port. For example, the following command +sets the port to "8400":: + + $ source toaster start webport=8400 + +Setting Up Toaster Without a Web Server +======================================= + +You can start a Toaster environment without starting its web server. +This is useful for the following: + +- Capturing a command-line build's statistics into the Toaster database + for examination later. + +- Capturing a command-line build's statistics when the Toaster server + is already running. + +- Having one instance of the Toaster web server track and capture + multiple command-line builds, where each build is started in its own + "noweb" Toaster environment. + +The following commands show how to start a Toaster environment without +starting its web server, perform BitBake operations, and then shut down +the Toaster environment. Once the build is complete, you can close the +Toaster environment. Before closing the environment, however, you should +allow a few minutes to ensure the complete transfer of its BitBake build +statistics to the Toaster database. If you have a separate Toaster web +server instance running, you can watch this command-line build's +progress and examine the results as soon as they are posted:: + + $ source toaster start noweb + $ bitbake target + $ source toaster stop + +Setting Up Toaster Without a Build Server +========================================= + +You can start a Toaster environment with the "New Projects" feature +disabled. Doing so is useful for the following: + +- Sharing your build results over the web server while blocking others + from starting builds on your host. + +- Allowing only local command-line builds to be captured into the + Toaster database. + +Use the following command to set up Toaster without a build server:: + + $ source toaster start nobuild webport=port + +Setting up External Access +========================== + +By default, Toaster binds to the loop back address (i.e. ``localhost``), +which does not allow access from external hosts. To allow external +access, use the ``WEBPORT`` parameter to open an address that connects +to the network, specifically the IP address that your NIC uses to +connect to the network. You can also bind to all IP addresses the +computer supports by using the shortcut "0.0.0.0:port". + +The following example binds to all IP addresses on the host:: + + $ source toaster start webport=0.0.0.0:8400 + +This example binds to a specific IP address on the host's NIC:: + + $ source toaster start webport=192.168.1.1:8400 + +The Directory for Cloning Layers +================================ + +Toaster creates a ``_toaster_clones`` directory inside your Source +Directory (i.e. ``poky``) to clone any layers needed for your builds. + +Alternatively, if you would like all of your Toaster related files and +directories to be in a particular location other than the default, you +can set the ``TOASTER_DIR`` environment variable, which takes precedence +over your current working directory. Setting this environment variable +causes Toaster to create and use ``$TOASTER_DIR./_toaster_clones``. + +.. _toaster-the-build-directory: + +The Build Directory +=================== + +Toaster creates a build directory within your Source Directory (e.g. +``poky``) to execute the builds. + +Alternatively, if you would like all of your Toaster related files and +directories to be in a particular location, you can set the +``TOASTER_DIR`` environment variable, which takes precedence over your +current working directory. Setting this environment variable causes +Toaster to use ``$TOASTER_DIR/build`` as the build directory. + +.. _toaster-creating-a-django-super-user: + +Creating a Django Superuser +=========================== + +Toaster is built on the `Django +framework <https://www.djangoproject.com/>`__. Django provides an +administration interface you can use to edit Toaster configuration +parameters. + +To access the Django administration interface, you must create a +superuser by following these steps: + +#. If you used ``pip3``, which is recommended, to set up the Toaster + system dependencies, you need be sure the local user path is in your + ``PATH`` list. To append the pip3 local user path, use the following + command:: + + $ export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.local/bin + +#. From the directory containing the Toaster database, which by default + is the :term:`Build Directory`, + invoke the ``createsuperuser`` command from ``manage.py``:: + + $ cd ~/poky/build + $ ../bitbake/lib/toaster/manage.py createsuperuser + +#. Django prompts you for the username, which you need to provide. + +#. Django prompts you for an email address, which is optional. + +#. Django prompts you for a password, which you must provide. + +#. Django prompts you to re-enter your password for verification. + +After completing these steps, the following confirmation message +appears:: + + Superuser created successfully. + +Creating a superuser allows you to access the Django administration +interface through a browser. The URL for this interface is the same as +the URL used for the Toaster instance with "/admin" on the end. For +example, if you are running Toaster locally, use the following URL:: + + http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin + +You can use the Django administration interface to set Toaster configuration +parameters such as the build directory, layer sources, default variable +values, and BitBake versions. + +.. _toaster-setting-up-a-production-instance-of-toaster: + +Setting Up a Production Instance of Toaster +=========================================== + +You can use a production instance of Toaster to share the Toaster +instance with remote users, multiple users, or both. The production +instance is also the setup that can handle heavier loads on the web +service. Use the instructions in the following sections to set up +Toaster to run builds through the Toaster web interface. + +.. _toaster-production-instance-requirements: + +Requirements +------------ + +Be sure you meet the following requirements: + +.. note:: + + You must comply with all Apache, ``mod-wsgi``, and Mysql requirements. + +- Have all the build requirements as described in the ":ref:`toaster-manual/toaster-manual-start:Preparing to + Use Toaster`" chapter. + +- Have an Apache webserver. + +- Have ``mod-wsgi`` for the Apache webserver. + +- Use the Mysql database server. + +- If you are using Ubuntu, run the following:: + + $ sudo apt-get install apache2 libapache2-mod-wsgi-py3 mysql-server python3-pip libmysqlclient-dev + +- If you are using Fedora or a RedHat distribution, run the + following:: + + $ sudo dnf install httpd python3-mod_wsgi python3-pip mariadb-server mariadb-devel python3-devel + +- If you are using openSUSE, run the following:: + + $ sudo zypper install apache2 apache2-mod_wsgi-python3 python3-pip mariadb mariadb-client python3-devel + +.. _toaster-installation-steps: + +Installation +------------ + +Perform the following steps to install Toaster: + +#. Create toaster user and set its home directory to + ``/var/www/toaster``:: + + $ sudo /usr/sbin/useradd toaster -md /var/www/toaster -s /bin/false + $ sudo su - toaster -s /bin/bash + +#. Checkout a copy of ``poky`` into the web server directory. You will + be using ``/var/www/toaster``:: + + $ git clone git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky + $ git checkout &DISTRO_NAME_NO_CAP; + +#. Install Toaster dependencies using the --user flag which keeps the + Python packages isolated from your system-provided packages:: + + $ cd /var/www/toaster/ + $ pip3 install --user -r ./poky/bitbake/toaster-requirements.txt + $ pip3 install --user mysqlclient + + .. note:: + + Isolating these packages is not required but is recommended. + Alternatively, you can use your operating system's package + manager to install the packages. + +#. Configure Toaster by editing + ``/var/www/toaster/poky/bitbake/lib/toaster/toastermain/settings.py`` + as follows: + + - Edit the + `DATABASES <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.2/ref/settings/#databases>`__ + settings: + + .. code-block:: python + + DATABASES = { + 'default': { + 'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql', + 'NAME': 'toaster_data', + 'USER': 'toaster', + 'PASSWORD': 'yourpasswordhere', + 'HOST': 'localhost', + 'PORT': '3306', + } + } + + - Edit the + `SECRET_KEY <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.2/ref/settings/#std:setting-SECRET_KEY>`__: + + .. code-block:: python + + SECRET_KEY = 'your_secret_key' + + - Edit the + `STATIC_ROOT <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.2/ref/settings/#std:setting-STATIC_ROOT>`__: + + .. code-block:: python + + STATIC_ROOT = '/var/www/toaster/static_files/' + +#. Add the database and user to the ``mysql`` server defined earlier:: + + $ mysql -u root -p + mysql> CREATE DATABASE toaster_data; + mysql> CREATE USER 'toaster'@'localhost' identified by 'yourpasswordhere'; + mysql> GRANT all on toaster_data.\* to 'toaster'@'localhost'; + mysql> quit + +#. Get Toaster to create the database schema, default data, and gather + the statically-served files:: + + $ cd /var/www/toaster/poky/ + $ ./bitbake/lib/toaster/manage.py migrate + $ TOASTER_DIR=`pwd\` TEMPLATECONF='poky' \ + ./bitbake/lib/toaster/manage.py checksettings + $ ./bitbake/lib/toaster/manage.py collectstatic + + + In the previous + example, from the ``poky`` directory, the ``migrate`` command + ensures the database schema changes have propagated correctly (i.e. + migrations). The next line sets the Toaster root directory + ``TOASTER_DIR`` and the location of the Toaster configuration file + ``TOASTER_CONF``, which is relative to ``TOASTER_DIR``. The + ``TEMPLATECONF`` value reflects the contents of + ``poky/.templateconf``, and by default, should include the string + "poky". For more information on the Toaster configuration file, see + the ":ref:`toaster-manual/toaster-manual-reference:Configuring Toaster`" section. + + This line also runs the ``checksettings`` command, which configures + the location of the Toaster :term:`Build Directory`. + The Toaster + root directory ``TOASTER_DIR`` determines where the Toaster build + directory is created on the file system. In the example above, + ``TOASTER_DIR`` is set as follows:: + + /var/www/toaster/poky + + + This setting causes the Toaster build directory to be:: + + /var/www/toaster/poky/build + + Finally, the ``collectstatic`` command is a Django framework command + that collects all the statically served files into a designated + directory to be served up by the Apache web server as defined by + ``STATIC_ROOT``. + +#. Test and/or use the Mysql integration with Toaster's Django web + server. At this point, you can start up the normal Toaster Django + web server with the Toaster database in Mysql. You can use this web + server to confirm that the database migration and data population + from the Layer Index is complete. + + To start the default Toaster Django web server with the Toaster + database now in Mysql, use the standard start commands:: + + $ source oe-init-build-env + $ source toaster start + + Additionally, if Django is sufficient for your requirements, you can use + it for your release system and migrate later to Apache as your + requirements change. + +#.

One of the release options +you will find is called "Local Yocto Project". + +.. image:: figures/new-project.png + :align: center + :scale: 75% + +When you select the "Local Yocto Project" release, Toaster will run your +builds using the local Yocto Project clone you have in your computer: +the same clone you are using to run Toaster. Unless you manually update +this clone, your builds will always use the same Git revision. + +If you select any of the other release options, Toaster will fetch the +tip of your selected release from the upstream `Yocto Project +repository <https://git.yoctoproject.org>`__ every time you run a build. +Fetching this tip effectively means that if your selected release is +updated upstream, the Git revision you are using for your builds will +change. If you are doing development locally, you might not want this +change to happen.
