| ##########
 | |
| Build VyOS
 | |
| ##########
 | |
| 
 | |
| *************
 | |
| Prerequisites
 | |
| *************
 | |
| 
 | |
| There are different ways you can build VyOS.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Building using a :ref:`build_docker` container, although not the only way,
 | |
| is the easiest way as all dependencies are managed for you. However, you can
 | |
| also set up your own build machine and run a :ref:`build_native`.
 | |
| 
 | |
| .. note:: Starting with VyOS 1.2 the release model of VyOS has changed. VyOS
 | |
|    is now **free as in speech, but not as in beer**. This means that while
 | |
|    VyOS is still an open source project, the release ISOs are no longer free
 | |
|    and can only be obtained via subscription, or by contributing to the
 | |
|    community.
 | |
| 
 | |
|    The source code remains public and an ISO can be built using the process
 | |
|    outlined in this chapter.
 | |
| 
 | |
|    The following includes the build process for VyOS 1.2 to the latest version.
 | |
| 
 | |
| This will guide you through the process of building a VyOS ISO using Docker_.
 | |
| This process has been tested on clean installs of Debian Jessie, Stretch, and
 | |
| Buster.
 | |
| 
 | |
| .. _build_native:
 | |
| 
 | |
| Native Build
 | |
| ============
 | |
| 
 | |
| To build VyOS natively you require a properly configured build host with the
 | |
| following Debian versions installed:
 | |
| 
 | |
| - Debian Jessie for VyOS 1.2 (crux)
 | |
| - Debian Buster for VyOS 1.3 (equuleus) 
 | |
| - Debian Bookworm for VyOS 1.4 (sagitta)
 | |
| - Debian Bookworm for the upcoming VyOS 1.5/circinus/current 
 | |
|   (subject to change) - aka the rolling release
 | |
| 
 | |
| To start, clone the repository to your local machine:
 | |
| 
 | |
| .. code-block:: none
 | |
| 
 | |
|   # For VyOS 1.2 (crux)
 | |
|   $ git clone -b crux --single-branch https://github.com/vyos/vyos-build
 | |
| 
 | |
|   # For VyOS 1.3 (equuleus)
 | |
|   $ git clone -b equuleus --single-branch https://github.com/vyos/vyos-build
 | |
| 
 | |
|   # For VyOS 1.4 (sagitta)
 | |
|   $ git clone -b sagitta --single-branch https://github.com/vyos/vyos-build
 | |
| 
 | |
|   # For VyOS 1.5 (circinus,current)
 | |
|   $ git clone -b current --single-branch https://github.com/vyos/vyos-build
 | |
| 
 | |
|   $ cd vyos-build
 | |
| 
 | |
|   # For VyOS 1.2 (crux) and VyOS 1.3 (equuleus)
 | |
|   $ ./configure --architecture amd64 --build-by "j.randomhacker@vyos.io"
 | |
|   $ sudo make iso
 | |
| 
 | |
|   # For VyOS 1.4 (sagitta) and VyOS 1.5 (circinus,current)
 | |
|   $ sudo make clean
 | |
|   $ sudo ./build-vyos-image iso --architecture amd64 --build-by "j.randomhacker@vyos.io"
 | |
| 
 | |
| For the packages required, you can refer to the ``docker/Dockerfile`` file
 | |
| in the repository_. The ``./build-vyos-image`` script will also warn you if any
 | |
| dependencies are missing.
 | |
| 
 | |
| This will guide you through the process of building a VyOS ISO using Docker. 
 | |
| This process has been tested on clean installs of Debian Bullseye (11) and 
 | |
| Bookworm (12).
 | |
| 
 | |
| .. _build_docker:
 | |
| 
 | |
| Docker
 | |
| ======
 | |
| 
 | |
| Installing Docker_ and prerequisites:
 | |
| 
 | |
| .. hint:: Due to the updated version of Docker, the following examples may 
 | |
|    become invalid.
 | |
| 
 | |
| .. code-block:: none
 | |
| 
 | |
|   # Add Docker's official GPG key:
 | |
|   sudo apt-get update
 | |
|   sudo apt-get install ca-certificates curl gnupg
 | |
|   sudo install -m 0755 -d /etc/apt/keyrings
 | |
|   curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/debian/gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg
 | |
|   sudo chmod a+r /etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg
 | |
| 
 | |
|   # Add the repository to Apt sources:
 | |
|   echo \
 | |
|     "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/docker.gpg] https://download.docker.com/linux/debian \
 | |
|     $(. /etc/os-release && echo "$VERSION_CODENAME") stable" | \
 | |
|     sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null
 | |
| 
 | |
|   sudo apt-get update
 | |
|   sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin
 | |
| 
 | |
| To be able to use Docker_ without ``sudo``, the current non-root user must be
 | |
| added to the ``docker`` group by calling: ``sudo usermod -aG docker
 | |
| yourusername``.
 | |
| 
 | |
| .. hint:: Doing so grants privileges equivalent to the ``root`` user! It is
 | |
|    recommended to remove the non-root user from the ``docker`` group after
 | |
|    building the VyOS ISO. See also `Docker as non-root`_.
 | |
| 
 | |
| .. note:: The build process needs to be built on a local file system, building
 | |
|    on SMB or NFS shares will result in the container failing to build properly!
 | |
|    VirtualBox Drive Share is also not an option as block device operations
 | |
|    are not implemented and the drive is always mounted as "nodev"
 | |
| 
 | |
| Build Container
 | |
| ---------------
 | |
| 
 | |
| The container can be built by hand or by fetching the pre-built one from
 | |
| DockerHub. Using the pre-built containers from the `VyOS DockerHub
 | |
| organisation`_ will ensure that the container is always up-to-date. A rebuild
 | |
| is triggered once the container changes (please note this will take 2-3 hours
 | |
| after pushing to the vyos-build repository).
 | |
| 
 | |
| .. note: If you are using the pre-built container, it will be automatically
 | |
|    downloaded from DockerHub if it is not found on your local machine when
 | |
|    you build the ISO.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Dockerhub
 | |
| ^^^^^^^^^
 | |
| 
 | |
| To manually download the container from DockerHub, run:
 | |
| 
 | |
| .. code-block:: none
 | |
| 
 | |
|   $ docker pull vyos/vyos-build:crux     # For VyOS 1.2
 | |
|   $ docker pull vyos/vyos-build:equuleus # For VyOS 1.3
 | |
|   $ docker pull vyos/vyos-build:sagitta  # For VyOS 1.4
 | |
|   $ docker pull vyos/vyos-build:current  # For VyOS 1.5 rolling release
 | |
| 
 | |
| Build from source
 | |
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 | |
| 
 | |
| The container can also be built directly from source:
 | |
| 
 | |
| .. code-block:: none
 | |
| 
 | |
|   # For VyOS 1.2 (crux)
 | |
|   $ git clone -b crux --single-branch https://github.com/vyos/vyos-build
 | |
|   # For VyOS 1.3 (equuleus)
 | |
|   $ git clone -b equuleus --single-branch https://github.com/vyos/vyos-build
 | |
|   # For VyOS 1.4 (sagitta)
 | |
|   $ git clone -b sagitta --single-branch https://github.com/vyos/vyos-build
 | |
|   # For VyOS 1.5 (circinus,current)
 | |
|   $ git clone -b current --single-branch https://github.com/vyos/vyos-build
 | |
|   
 | |
|   $ cd vyos-build
 | |
|   $ docker build -t vyos/vyos-build:crux docker           # For VyOS 1.2
 | |
|   $ docker build -t vyos/vyos-build:equuleus docker       # For VyOS 1.3
 | |
|   $ docker build -t vyos/vyos-build:sagitta docker        # For VyOS 1.4
 | |
|   $ docker build -t vyos/vyos-build:current docker        # For VyOS 1.5 rolling release
 | |
| 
 | |
| .. note:: VyOS has switched to Debian (12) Bookworm in its ``current`` branch,
 | |
|    Due to software version updates, it is recommended to use the official 
 | |
|    Docker Hub image to build VyOS ISO.
 | |
|    
 | |
| Tips and Tricks
 | |
| ---------------
 | |
| 
 | |
| You can create yourself some handy Bash aliases to always launch the latest -
 | |
| per release train (`current` or `crux`) - container. Add the following to your
 | |
| ``.bash_aliases`` file:
 | |
| 
 | |
| .. code-block:: none
 | |
| 
 | |
|   alias vybld='docker pull vyos/vyos-build:current && docker run --rm -it \
 | |
|       -v "$(pwd)":/vyos \
 | |
|       -v "$HOME/.gitconfig":/etc/gitconfig \
 | |
|       -v "$HOME/.bash_aliases":/home/vyos_bld/.bash_aliases \
 | |
|       -v "$HOME/.bashrc":/home/vyos_bld/.bashrc \
 | |
|       -w /vyos --privileged --sysctl net.ipv6.conf.lo.disable_ipv6=0 \
 | |
|       -e GOSU_UID=$(id -u) -e GOSU_GID=$(id -g) \
 | |
|       vyos/vyos-build:current bash'
 | |
| 
 | |
|   alias vybld_crux='docker pull vyos/vyos-build:crux && docker run --rm -it \
 | |
|       -v "$(pwd)":/vyos \
 | |
|       -v "$HOME/.gitconfig":/etc/gitconfig \
 | |
|       -v "$HOME/.bash_aliases":/home/vyos_bld/.bash_aliases \
 | |
|       -v "$HOME/.bashrc":/home/vyos_bld/.bashrc \
 | |
|       -w /vyos --privileged --sysctl net.ipv6.conf.lo.disable_ipv6=0 \
 | |
|       -e GOSU_UID=$(id -u) -e GOSU_GID=$(id -g) \
 | |
|       vyos/vyos-build:crux bash'
 | |
| 
 | |
| Now you are prepared with two new aliases ``vybld`` and ``vybld_crux`` to spawn
 | |
| your development containers in your current working directory.
 | |
| 
 | |
| .. note:: Some VyOS packages (namely vyos-1x) come with build-time tests which
 | |
|    verify some of the internal library calls that they work as expected. Those
 | |
|    tests are carried out through the Python Unittest module. If you want to
 | |
|    build the ``vyos-1x`` package (which is our main development package) you
 | |
|    need to start your Docker container using the following argument:
 | |
|    ``--sysctl net.ipv6.conf.lo.disable_ipv6=0``, otherwise those tests will
 | |
|    fail.
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| .. _build_iso:
 | |
| 
 | |
| *********
 | |
| Build ISO
 | |
| *********
 | |
| 
 | |
| Now as you are aware of the prerequisites we can continue and build our own
 | |
| ISO from source. For this we have to fetch the latest source code from GitHub.
 | |
| Please note as this will differ for both `current` and `crux`.
 | |
| 
 | |
| .. code-block:: none
 | |
| 
 | |
|   # For VyOS 1.2 (crux)
 | |
|   $ git clone -b crux --single-branch https://github.com/vyos/vyos-build
 | |
| 
 | |
|   # For VyOS 1.3 (equuleus)
 | |
|   $ git clone -b equuleus --single-branch https://github.com/vyos/vyos-build
 | |
| 
 | |
|   # For VyOS 1.4 (sagitta)
 | |
|   $ git clone -b sagitta --single-branch https://github.com/vyos/vyos-build
 | |
| 
 | |
|   # For VyOS 1.5 (circinus,current)
 | |
|   $ git clone -b current --single-branch https://github.com/vyos/vyos-build
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| Now a fresh build of the VyOS ISO can begin. Change directory to the
 | |
| ``vyos-build`` directory and run:
 | |
| 
 | |
| .. code-block:: none
 | |
| 
 | |
|   $ cd vyos-build
 | |
|   # For VyOS 1.2 (crux)
 | |
|   $ docker run --rm -it --privileged -v $(pwd):/vyos -w /vyos vyos/vyos-build:crux bash
 | |
| 
 | |
|   # For VyOS 1.3 (equuleus)
 | |
|   $ docker run --rm -it --privileged -v $(pwd):/vyos -w /vyos vyos/vyos-build:equuleus bash
 | |
| 
 | |
|   # For VyOS 1.4 (sagitta)
 | |
|   $ docker run --rm -it --privileged -v $(pwd):/vyos -w /vyos vyos/vyos-build:sagitta bash
 | |
| 
 | |
|   # For VyOS 1.5 (current)
 | |
|   $ docker run --rm -it --privileged -v $(pwd):/vyos -w /vyos vyos/vyos-build:current bash
 | |
|     
 | |
| .. code-block:: none
 | |
| 
 | |
|   # For MacOS (crux, equuleus, sagitta)
 | |
|   $ git clone https://github.com/vyos/vyos-utils-misc
 | |
|   $ cd build-tools/macos-build
 | |
| 
 | |
|   # For VyOS 1.2 (crux)
 | |
|   $ os=jessie64 branch=crux make build
 | |
| 
 | |
|   # For VyOS 1.3 (equuleus)
 | |
|   $ os=buster64 branch=equuleus make build
 | |
| 
 | |
|   # For VyOS 1.4 (sagitta)
 | |
|   $ os=buster64 branch=sagitta make build
 | |
| 
 | |
| Start the build:
 | |
| 
 | |
| .. code-block:: none
 | |
| 
 | |
|   # For VyOS 1.2 (crux) and VyOS 1.3 (equuleus)
 | |
|   vyos_bld@8153428c7e1f:/vyos$ ./configure --architecture amd64 --build-by "j.randomhacker@vyos.io"
 | |
|   vyos_bld@8153428c7e1f:/vyos$ sudo make iso
 | |
| 
 | |
|   # For VyOS 1.4 (sagitta) For VyOS 1.5 (circinus,current)
 | |
|   vyos_bld@8153428c7e1f:/vyos$ sudo make clean
 | |
|   vyos_bld@8153428c7e1f:/vyos$ sudo ./build-vyos-image iso --architecture amd64 --build-by "j.randomhacker@vyos.io"
 | |
| 
 | |
| When the build is successful, the resulting iso can be found inside the
 | |
| ``build`` directory as ``live-image-[architecture].hybrid.iso``.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Good luck!
 | |

 | |
|    work like a charm. No problems are known so far!

| ISO Build Issues
 | |
| ----------------
 | |
| 
 | |
| There are (rare) situations where building an ISO image is not possible at all
 | |
| due to a broken package feed in the background. APT is not very good at
 | |
| reporting the root cause of the issue. Your ISO build will likely fail with a
 | |
| more or less similar looking error message:
 | |
| 
 | |
| .. code-block:: none
 | |
| 
 | |
|   The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 | |
|    vyos-1x : Depends: accel-ppp but it is not installable
 | |
|   E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

| 
 | |
| To debug the build process and gain additional information of what could be the
 | |
| root cause, you need to use `chroot` to change into the build directory. This is
 | |
| explained in the following step by step procedure:
 | |
| 
 | |
| .. code-block:: none
 | |
| 
 | |
|   vyos_bld ece068908a5b:/vyos [current] # sudo chroot build/chroot /bin/bash

| We now need to mount some required, volatile filesystems

 | |
|   (live)root@ece068908a5b:/# mount -t devtmpfs none /dev
 | |
| 
 | |
| We now are free to run any command we would like to use for debugging, e.g.
 | |
| re-installing the failed package after updating the repository.

| Linux Kernel
 | |
| ============
 | |
| 
 | |
| The Linux kernel used by VyOS is heavily tied to the ISO build process. The
 | |
| file ``data/defaults.json`` hosts a JSON definition of the kernel version used
 | |
| ``kernel_version`` and the ``kernel_flavor`` of the kernel which represents the
 | |
| kernel's LOCAL_VERSION. Both together form the kernel version variable in the
 | |
| system:
 | |
| 
 | |
| .. code-block:: none
 | |
| 
 | |
|   vyos@vyos:~$ uname -r
 | |
|   6.1.52-amd64-vyos
 | |
| 
 | |
| * Accel-PPP
 | |
| * Intel NIC drivers
 | |
| * Inter QAT
 | |
| 
 | |
| Each of those modules holds a dependency on the kernel version and if you are
 | |
| lucky enough to receive an ISO build error which sounds like:
 | |
| 
 | |
| .. code-block:: none
 | |
| 
 | |
|   I: Create initramfs if it does not exist.
 | |
|   Extra argument '6.1.52-amd64-vyos'
 | |
|   Usage: update-initramfs {-c|-d|-u} [-k version] [-v] [-b directory]
 | |
|   Options:
 | |
|    -k version     Specify kernel version or 'all'
 | |
|    -c             Create a new initramfs
 | |
|    -u             Update an existing initramfs
 | |
|    -d             Remove an existing initramfs
 | |
|    -b directory   Set alternate boot directory
 | |
|    -v             Be verbose
 | |
|   See update-initramfs(8) for further details.
 | |
|   E: config/hooks/live/17-gen_initramfs.chroot failed (exit non-zero). You should check for errors.
 | |
| 
 | |
| The most obvious reasons could be:
 | |
| 
 | |
| * ``vyos-build`` repo is outdated, please ``git pull`` to update to the latest
 | |
|   release kernel version from us.
 | |
| 
 | |
| * You have your own custom kernel `*.deb` packages in the `packages` folder but
 | |
|   neglected to create all required out-of tree modules like Accel-PPP, Intel
 | |
|   QAT or Intel NIC drivers
 | |
| 
 | |
| Building The Kernel
 | |
| -------------------
 | |
| 
 | |
| The kernel build is quite easy, most of the required steps can be found in the
 | |
| ``vyos-build/packages/linux-kernel/Jenkinsfile`` but we will walk you through
 | |
| it.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Clone the kernel source to `vyos-build/packages/linux-kernel/`:
 | |
| 
 | |
| .. code-block:: none
 | |
| 
 | |
|   $ cd vyos-build/packages/linux-kernel/
 | |
|   $ git clone https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git
 | |
| 
 | |
| Check out the required kernel version - see ``vyos-build/data/defaults.json``
 | |
| file (example uses kernel 4.19.146):
 | |
| 
 | |
| .. code-block:: none
 | |
| 
 | |
|   $ cd vyos-build/packages/linux-kernel/linux
 | |
|   $ git checkout v4.19.146
 | |
|   Checking out files: 100% (61536/61536), done.
 | |
|   Note: checking out 'v4.19.146'.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental
 | |
|   changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this
 | |
|   state without impacting any branches by performing another checkout.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may
 | |
|   do so (now or later) by using -b with the checkout command again. Example:
 | |
| 
 | |
|     git checkout -b <new-branch-name>
 | |
| 
 | |
|   HEAD is now at 015e94d0e37b Linux 4.19.146
 | |
| 
 | |
| Now we can use the helper script ``build-kernel.sh`` which does all the
 | |
| necessary voodoo by applying required patches from the
 | |
| `vyos-build/packages/linux-kernel/patches` folder, copying our kernel
 | |
| configuration ``x86_64_vyos_defconfig`` to the right location, and finally
 | |
| building the Debian packages.
 | |
| 
 | |
| .. note:: Building the kernel will take some time depending on the speed and
 | |
|    quantity of your CPU/cores and disk speed. Expect 20 minutes
 | |
|    (or even longer) on lower end hardware.

| 
 | |
| In the end you will be presented with the kernel binary packages which you can
 | |
| then use in your custom ISO build process, by placing all the `*.deb` files in
 | |
| the vyos-build/packages folder where they will be used automatically when
 | |
| building VyOS as documented above.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Firmware
 | |
| ^^^^^^^^
 | |
| 
 | |
| If you upgrade your kernel or include new drivers you may need new firmware.
 | |
| Build a new ``vyos-linux-firmware`` package with the included helper scripts.
 | |
| 
 | |
| .. code-block:: none
 | |
| 
 | |
|   $ cd vyos-build/packages/linux-kernel
 | |
|   $ git clone https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git
 | |
|   $ ./build-linux-firmware.sh
 | |
|   $ cp vyos-linux-firmware_*.deb ../
 | |
| 
 | |
| This tries to automatically detect which blobs are needed based on which drivers
 | |
| were built. If it fails to find the correct files you can add them manually to
 | |
| ``vyos-build/packages/linux-kernel/build-linux-firmware.sh``:
 | |
| 
 | |
| .. code-block:: bash
 | |
| 
 | |
|   ADD_FW_FILES="iwlwifi* ath11k/QCA6390/*/*.bin"
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| Building Out-Of-Tree Modules
 | |
| ----------------------------
 | |
| 
 | |
| Building the kernel is one part, but now you also need to build the required
 | |
| out-of-tree modules so everything is lined up and the ABIs match. To do so,
 | |
| you can again take a look at ``vyos-build/packages/linux-kernel/Jenkinsfile``
 | |
| to see all of the required modules and their selected versions. We will show
 | |
| you how to build all the current required modules.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Accel-PPP
 | |
| ^^^^^^^^^
 | |
| 
 | |
| First, clone the source code and check out the appropriate version by running:
 | |
| 
 | |
| .. code-block:: none
 | |
| 
 | |
|   $ cd vyos-build/packages/linux-kernel
 | |
|   $ git clone https://github.com/accel-ppp/accel-ppp.git
 | |
| 
 | |
| We again make use of a helper script and some patches to make the build work.
 | |
| Just run the following command:
 | |
| 
 | |
| .. code-block:: none
 | |
| 
 | |
|   $ ./build-accel-ppp.sh
 | |
|   I: Build Accel-PPP Debian package
 | |
|   CMake Deprecation Warning at CMakeLists.txt:3 (cmake_policy):
 | |
|     The OLD behavior for policy CMP0003 will be removed from a future version
 | |
|     of CMake.
 | |
| 
 | |
|     The cmake-policies(7) manual explains that the OLD behaviors of all
 | |
|     policies are deprecated and that a policy should be set to OLD only under
 | |
|     specific short-term circumstances.  Projects should be ported to the NEW
 | |
|     behavior and not rely on setting a policy to OLD.

| Intel NIC
 | |
| ^^^^^^^^^
 | |
| 
 | |
| The Intel NIC drivers do not come from a Git repository, instead we just fetch
 | |

 | |
| ^^^^^^^^^

 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| Packages
 | |
| ========
 | |
| 
 | |
| If you are brave enough to build yourself an ISO image containing any modified
 | |
| package from our GitHub organisation - this is the place to be.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Any "modified" package may refer to an altered version of e.g. vyos-1x package
 | |
| that you would like to test before filing a pull request on GitHub.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Building an ISO with any customized package is in no way different than
 | |
| building a regular (customized or not) ISO image. Simply place your modified
 | |
| `*.deb` package inside the `packages` folder within `vyos-build`. The build
 | |
| process will then pickup your custom package and integrate it into your ISO.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Troubleshooting
 | |
| ===============
 | |
| 
 | |
| Debian APT is not very verbose when it comes to errors. If your ISO build breaks
 | |
| for whatever reason and you suspect it's a problem with APT dependencies or
 | |
| installation you can add this small patch which increases the APT verbosity
 | |
| during ISO build.

| :ref:`build_docker` container, it includes all required dependencies for
 | |
| all VyOS related packages.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Assume we want to build the vyos-1x package on our own and modify it to our
 | |
| needs. We first need to clone the repository from GitHub.
 | |
| 
 | |
| .. code-block:: none
 | |
| 
 | |
|   $ git clone https://github.com/vyos/vyos-1x
 | |
| 
 | |
| Build
 | |
| =====
 | |
| 
 | |
| Launch Docker container and build package
 | |
| 
 | |
| .. code-block:: none
 | |
| 
 | |
|   # For VyOS 1.3 (equuleus, current)
 | |
|   $ docker run --rm -it --privileged -v $(pwd):/vyos -w /vyos vyos/vyos-build:current bash
 | |
| 
 | |
|   # Change to source directory
 | |
|   $ cd vyos-1x
 | |
| 
 | |
|   # Build DEB
 | |
|   $ dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us -tc -b
 | |
| 
 | |
| After a minute or two you will find the generated DEB packages next to the
 | |
| vyos-1x source directory:
 | |
| 
 | |
| .. code-block:: none
 | |
| 
 | |
|   # ls -al ../vyos-1x*.deb
 | |
|   -rw-r--r-- 1 vyos_bld vyos_bld 567420 Aug  3 12:01 ../vyos-1x_1.3dev0-1847-gb6dcb0a8_all.deb
 | |
|   -rw-r--r-- 1 vyos_bld vyos_bld   3808 Aug  3 12:01 ../vyos-1x-vmware_1.3dev0-1847-gb6dcb0a8_amd64.deb
 | |
| 
 | |
| Install
 | |
| =======
 | |
| 
 | |
| To take your newly created package on a test drive you can simply SCP it to a
 | |
| running VyOS instance and install the new `*.deb` package over the current
 | |
| running one.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Just install using the following commands:
 | |
| 
 | |
| .. code-block:: none
 | |
| 
 | |
|   vyos@vyos:~$ dpkg --install /tmp/vyos-1x_1.3dev0-1847-gb6dcb0a8_all.deb
 | |
|   (Reading database ... 58209 files and directories currently installed.)
 | |
|   Preparing to unpack .../vyos-1x_1.3dev0-1847-gb6dcb0a8_all.deb ...
 | |
|   Unpacking vyos-1x (1.3dev0-1847-gb6dcb0a8) over (1.3dev0-1847-gb6dcb0a8) ...

|   Setting up vyos-1x (1.3dev0-1847-gb6dcb0a8) ...
 | |
|   Processing triggers for rsyslog (8.1901.0-1) ...
 | |
| 
 | |
| You can also place the generated `*.deb` into your ISO build environment to
 | |
| include it in a custom iso, see :ref:`build_custom_packages` for more
 | |
| information.
 | |
| 
 | |
| .. warning:: Any packages in the packages directory will be added to the iso
 | |
|    during build, replacing the upstream ones. Make sure you delete them (both
 | |
|    the source directories and built deb packages) if you want to build an iso
 | |
|    from purely upstream packages.
