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
   language yml linenumbers true
   { "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
   language bash
   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
   language bash
   nmcli dev show | grep 'IP4.DNS'

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

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

   Restart docker:

   Code Block
   language yml
   sudo service docker restart

   
   

4. Run commands to build docker images and startup lava

   Code Block
   language bash
   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:

  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.

update-ca-certificates

...

1. Start with forking https://github.com/Linaro/lite-lava-docker-compose repository on github.
2. Suppose, this will give you https://github.com/pfalcon/lite-lava-docker-compose (instead of "pfalcon", you will have your own username).
3. Clone that repository locally with write access (e.g., use ssh access method).
4. Make sure you are on the "lite" branch: git checkout lite.
5. Create a branch for your personal setup (replace "pfalcon" with your own username): git checkout -b pfalcon.
6. Run "make board-configs" step as described above.
7. Commit any generated configs to you local personal branch.
8. Afterwards, use your personal branch to run "make all", "make lava-setup", etc.
9. To pick up any upstream changes, you would need to regularly rebase your personal branch on top of the "lite" branch, which gets regular updates:
   • git remote add upstream https://github.com/Linaro/lite-lava-docker-compose (needs be run just once on first update)
   • git checkout lite
   • git pull --rebase upstream lite
   • git checkout pfalcon
   • git rebase lite
   • git push --force
   • (Warning: alway rebase on the "lite" branch, not "master". If you rebase on "master" by mistake, you'll likely get conflicts. Run "git rebase --abort" and retry.)

As an example of this setup, you can see pfalcon's setup:

• File view (board config files): https://github.com/pfalcon/lite-lava-docker-compose/tree/pfalcon/devices
• Change view (contains changes beyond just adding board config files, you of course can make further personal changes either): https://github.com/pfalcon/lite-lava-docker-compose/commits/pfalcon

Setup for development on LAVA master
