aptly_api_cli

Why do we need another aptly cli interface?

  • Because aptly-api-cli has a lot of more features build in.
  • aptly-api-cli is made accessible to the python community
  • aptly-api-cli utils are already integrated into a CI Workflow
  • Additional scripts are offered (see ci-scripts folder), which can be used along your CI jobs (e.g. jenkins)

Description

This python command line interface, executes calls to the Aptly server remotely, without blocking the Aptly database. All functionality from here http://www.aptly.info/doc/api/ is extended by even more useful features, like showing or cleaning out snapshots, packages for couple of repos or mirrors.

You can make either use of the aptly_api_request.py as a starting point for your own application or just use the cli (aptly_api_cli.py) bundled with this repository to execute your requests via command line or run scripts, calling the cli, integrated into a CI Workflow.

This project is in use on production for www.lambdanow.com running on a JENKINS server.

Build

  mkvirtualenv aptly-cli
  pip install -r dev-requirements.txt
  ./aptly-api-cli --help

Installation

  python setup.py install
  aptly-cli --help

or create a debian package (see debian folder) and install it, locally.

Get started

Quickstart: Look into the ci-scripts folder to explore aptly-cli in action.

How to configure aptly server on a CI with JENKINS?

We use upstart: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ to ensure, aptly server is running (here on Ubuntu 12.04).

Therefore, please create a file: /etc/init/aptly.conf

with content:


description "starting aptly"
author "maxMuster@muster.de"

start on runlevel [2345]

stop on runlevel [!2345]

setuid jenkins

script
    export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID="PUT_YOUR_AWS_CREDENTIAL_HERE"
    export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="PUT_YOUR_AWS_CREDENTIAL_HERE"

    /usr/bin/aptly api serve -config=/var/lib/jenkins/.aptly.conf -listen=":9003"
end script

Create configuration file

Creates standard config file (aptly-cli.conf) at $HOME directory.

aptly_api_cli --create_config

Please Note: You can configure the following keys:

  • basic_url: the basic url
  • port: the port
  • prefixes_mirrors: prefixes for all mirrors that you have created
  • repos_to_clean: reponames, which should be searched for to be cleaned out
  • package_prefixes: package-prefixes, which should be searched for to be cleaned out
  • save_last_pkg: Number of package-versions for each prefix, that should be kept
  • save_last_snap: Number of snapshot-versions for each prefix, that should be kept

See an working example (aptly-cli.conf):

# aptly-cli config file
[general]
basic_url=http://localhost
port=:9003
prefixes_mirrors=cloudera, erlang, mongodb2, mongodb_, nginx, puppetmaster, rabbitmq, redis, saltstack2014.7, saltstack2015.5, saltstack_, git
repos_to_clean=unstable-repo, stable-repo
package_prefixes=cluster-manager, puppet-config, ingest-api, camus-etl, aptly-cli
save_last_pkg=10
save_last_snap=3

[3rd_party]
# 3rd party s3 buckets to publish switch to
repos=3rdparty-eu-west-1, 3rdparty-us-east-1
# Pre and postfix of the staging snapshots
staging_snap_pre_post=3rdparty-s3-repo, 3rdparty-staging_snapshot

Publish 3rd party staging snapshot to production

Publish the last 3rd party staging snapshot to production (e.g. s3 bucket), only if new content is available. The taken snapshot stems from the script 'update-3rdparty-staging.sh'.

 aptly_api_cli --publish_switch_3rdparty_production

CI - Scripts

This script is called by other scripts, just to check if aptly server is alive.

aptly-check-port-running.sh

This script is called, whenever we release new software as debian package to staging or production repositories (No 3rd Party).

publish.sh 'cluster-manager' 'unstable'

This script starts the 3rdPartyMirror update chain beginning from staging:

update-3rdparty-staging.sh
