### Gavin's notes on getting Gitian builds up and running using KVM |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
These instructions distilled from |
|
||||||
[https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM/Installation](https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM/Installation). |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
You need the right hardware: you need a 64-bit-capable CPU with hardware virtualization support (Intel VT-x or AMD-V). Not all modern CPUs support hardware virtualization. |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
You probably need to enable hardware virtualization in your machine's BIOS. |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
You need to be running a recent version of 64-bit-Ubuntu, and you need to install several prerequisites: |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
sudo apt-get install ruby apache2 git apt-cacher-ng python-vm-builder qemu-kvm |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Sanity checks: |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
sudo service apt-cacher-ng status # Should return apt-cacher-ng is running |
|
||||||
ls -l /dev/kvm # Should show a /dev/kvm device |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Once you've got the right hardware and software: |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
git clone git://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.git |
|
||||||
git clone git://github.com/devrandom/gitian-builder.git |
|
||||||
mkdir gitian-builder/inputs |
|
||||||
cd gitian-builder/inputs |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
# Create base images |
|
||||||
cd gitian-builder |
|
||||||
bin/make-base-vm --suite trusty --arch amd64 |
|
||||||
cd .. |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
# Get inputs (see doc/release-process.md for exact inputs needed and where to get them) |
|
||||||
... |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
# For further build instructions see doc/release-process.md |
|
||||||
... |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
--------------------- |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
`gitian-builder` now also supports building using LXC. See |
|
||||||
[help.ubuntu.com](https://help.ubuntu.com/14.04/serverguide/lxc.html) |
|
||||||
for how to get LXC up and running under Ubuntu. |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
If your main machine is a 64-bit Mac or PC with a few gigabytes of memory |
|
||||||
and at least 10 gigabytes of free disk space, you can `gitian-build` using |
|
||||||
LXC running inside a virtual machine. |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Here's a description of Gavin's setup on OSX 10.6: |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
1. Download and install VirtualBox from [https://www.virtualbox.org/](https://www.virtualbox.org/) |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
2. Download the 64-bit Ubuntu Desktop 12.04 LTS .iso CD image from |
|
||||||
[http://www.ubuntu.com/](http://www.ubuntu.com/) |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
3. Run VirtualBox and create a new virtual machine, using the Ubuntu .iso (see the [VirtualBox documentation](https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Documentation) for details). Create it with at least 2 gigabytes of memory and a disk that is at least 20 gigabytes big. |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
4. Inside the running Ubuntu desktop, install: |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
sudo apt-get install debootstrap lxc ruby apache2 git apt-cacher-ng python-vm-builder |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
5. Still inside Ubuntu, tell gitian-builder to use LXC, then follow the "Once you've got the right hardware and software" instructions above: |
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
export USE_LXC=1 |
|
||||||
git clone git://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.git |
|
||||||
... etc |
