  1. Optional: Setup access for local IP/host

    If you are running lava on a machine with a fixed IP (eg: a dedicated computer on your local network) you will want to modify the  overlays/lava-server/etc/lava-server/settings.conf file to allow access.  You'll want to modify the ALLOWED_HOSTS line to add the ip or hostname of the machine.  In the example below, the ip 192.168.1.14 was added, you'll want to keep 127.0.0.1 and localhost .

    Code Block
    languageyml
    linenumberstrue
    {
        "HTTPS_XML_RPC": false,
        "MOUNT_POINT": "/",
        "STATIC_URL": "/static/",
        "ALLOWED_HOSTS": ["192.168.1.14", "127.0.0.1", "localhost"],
        "CSRF_COOKIE_SECURE": false,
        "SESSION_COOKIE_SECURE": false,
        "EVENT_NOTIFICATION": true,
        "EVENT_TOPIC": "lava-server",
        "INTERNAL_EVENT_SOCKET": "tcp://lava-publisher:5557"
    }


  2. Optional: Add the proxy settings in lite-lava-dispatcher and ser2net images

    It might be required to define proxy setting in lite-lava-dispatcher/Dockerfile and ser2net/Dockerfile

    Code Block
    languagebash
    ENV http_proxy=http://<user>:<pwd>@<proxy>:<port>
    ENV https_proxy=http://<user>:<pwd>@<proxy>:<port>


  3. Optional: Configure DNS in /etc/docker/daemon.json

    Do this only if you are sure you need this. Otherwise, hardcoding a particular (local) DNS server may lead to issues when using another network connection, etc.

    Get host DNS:

    Code Block
    languagebash
    nmcli dev show | grep 'IP4.DNS'

    Set reported value in /etc/docker/daemon.json:

    Code Block
    languageyml
    {                                                                          
        "dns": ["w.x.y.z"]                                                                           
    }

    Restart docker:

    Code Block
    languageyml
    sudo service docker restart


  4. Run commands to build docker images and startup lava

    Code Block
    languagebash
    docker-compose build
    make

    You'll see output of docker fetching and building the images, and then all LAVA containers starting up, followed by a fair amount of logging from LAVA itself as it starts up.  This may take a few minutes to complete.

    Here are some examples of the output one can expect during this phase:

  5. Verify lava is running

    You can verify that lava has completed startup by trying to connect to the LAVA webserver in a web browser by going to localhost.

    Here's what the startup webpage should look like in your web browser:

...

You then need to bind your  host certificates to container by adding following line in lite-lava-docker-compose/docker-compose.yaml:

Code Block
languageyml
  lava-master:
    container_name: lava-master
    image: ${DC_SERVER_IMAGE}
    volumes:
    ...
    - /usr/local/share/ca-certificates:/usr/local/share/ca-certificates:ro

Then, run the following command in the container and go back to job start step.

Code Block
update-ca-certificates

...

To accommodate a faster (re)setup, we have a WIP Makefile targets which allow to make setup and configuration steps in semi-automated manner, considerably cutting on bootstrap time. These Makefile targets are intended to be treated as "executable documentation": you aren't suppose to run them blindly, but rather read/review them first to understand what exactly they do. This automated setup isn't intended to Table be one-click solution - instead, a small (~5) macro-steps are provided, utilizing Makefile's "multiple entry points" nature. This allows a user to control when these steps run, and most importantly, re-run to propagate updates - indeed, the frequency of various steps is different, as noted below. It also isn't supposed to be one-size-fits all solution - it's definitely open to further customization by individual users (actually, you need to customize it for your boards).

...

  1. Start with plugging your board(s) into USB ports, and use "udevadm monitor -e | grep -i ID_SERIAL_SHORT" command to note their serial numbers. Each number should be put into files named devices/<lava_device_name>.serial. <lava_device_name> is the name of device which will be created on the LAVA side, and should in turn follow <device_type>-NN naming pattern. For example, for a (first) FRDM-K64F board, the file name is devices/frdm-k64f-01.serial
  2. With all involved boards still connected to USB, run "make board-configs". This will create (or update) contrib/LAVA.rules, etc., as described in the "manual" section of this document. You will need to re-run "make board-configs" whenever you add/remove boards, or have serial numbers change. You should manually add your individual board jinja files (e.g. frdm-k64f-01.jinja2) into the devices directory if you haven't already done so.
  3. make install - This will install files needed on the host, e.g. LAVA.rules and passthru script(s). Re-run when board set/properties (and thus LAVA.rules) changes.
  4. make build - Build docker-compose images. Re-run if image content is supposed to change (for example, after LAVA version upgrade).
  5. make - Start up containerize LAVA setup. This also takes care of starting any host daemons (like udev forwarding daemon) too.
  6. make lava-setup - Perform initial semi-automated LAVA configuration - run this once per LAVA setup, then can be run again to update configuration (see also sub-targets utilized by this target). It would attempt to setup all boards (Note: There may be some "soft" errors in the console output if some boards are not being connected and their board jinja files are missing. These can be ignored if the board is not of interest to you.)
  7. make testjob - Submit a "smoke test" testjob running against a QEMU (follow it at http://localhost/scheduler/job/1)
  8. make stop - Stop LAVA setup (and any host-side daemons).
  9. make clean - Tear down current LAVA setup, losing all data (use make followed by make lava-setup to start again).

Generally, these targets fall in 2 3 categories:

  • board-configs, install , build - "host-side" setup, "run once", or whenever things outside specific LAVA container setup update.
  • build - "run from time to time", e.g. when a new LAVA version is released.
  • make, lava-setup, stop, clean - "container-side", "run everyday", use to managed manage lifecycle of current LAVA container.
