# Server Part Depending on your situation, you must either install the XDS server part or you can skip installation: - If you are a developer and plan to connect to and use an existing `xds-server` that is running on your local network (On-Premise) or is available from the Cloud (SaaS), you do not need to install the server part. - If you are configured for Standalone or you are an administrator that wants to install an On-Premise solution, you must install the server part. This section describes three types of server part installations: | Install type | Supported OS | Section to refer | |--------------|--------------|------------------| | Container | Linux or MacOS | [Docker Container](#docker-container) | | Virtual Machine | Linux, MacOS or Windows | [VirtualBox Appliance](#virtualbox-appliance) | | Native | Linux | [Native](#native) | ## Docker Container This section describes how to install the server part (`xds-server`) into a [Docker Container](https://www.docker.com/resources/what-container) on a Linux-based system or a MacOS system. ### Prerequisites The system on which you are installing the server part must meet both the following prerequisites: - You must have Docker installed on the host machine. For information on installing Docker, see the [Docker documentation](https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/). - Aside from having Docker installed, users must be part of a docker [group](https://www.linux.com/learn/intro-to-linux/2017/12/how-manage-users-groups-linux). Enter the following command to display the system's groups and then search for and list the Docker groups: ```bash groups | grep docker ``` If the users that plan on using the container are not part of the Docker group or the group does not exist, you must take steps. See the [docker post install instructions](https://docs.docker.com/install/linux/linux-postinstall/) for details on creating a Docker group and adding users. Following is a summary of the key commands: ```bash sudo groupadd docker sudo usermod -aG docker $USER # Log out and re-login so the system can re-evaluate the group membership # You might also need to start docker service manually sudo service docker start # or sudo systemctl start docker ``` ### Get the Container Use the following command to load the pre-built AGL SDK Docker image, which includes `xds-server`: ```bash wget -O - http://iot.bzh/download/public/XDS/docker/docker_agl_worker-xds-latest.tar.xz | docker load ``` The following command lists and displays information about the image: ```bash docker images "docker.automotivelinux.org/agl/worker-xds*" REPOSITORY TAG IMAGE ID CREATED SIZE docker.automotivelinux.org/agl/worker-xds 5.0 877979e534ff 3 hours ago 106MB ``` ### Create and Start a New Container Running the following script creates a new Docker image and starts a new container: ```bash # Get script wget -O xds-docker-create-container.sh 'https://gerrit.automotivelinux.org/gerrit/gitweb?p=src/xds/xds-server.git;a=blob_plain;f=scripts/xds-docker-create-container.sh;hb=master' # Create new XDS worker container (change the -id option value if you get a port conflict error) bash ./xds-docker-create-container.sh -id 0 # Be sure the new container is running docker ps | grep worker-xds f67079db4339 docker.automotivelinux.org/agl/worker-xds:5.0 "/usr/bin/wait_for..." About a minute ago Up 34 seconds 0.0.0.0:8000->8000/tcp,0.0.0.0:10809->10809/tcp, 0.0.0.0:2222->22/tcp agl-xds-HOSTNAME-0-USERNAME ``` In the previous example, the container exposes following ports: | Port number | Description | |-------------|---------------------------------------------| | 8000 | `xds-server`: serve XDS webapp and REST API | | 2222 | ssh | This container also creates the following volumes, which are shared folders between inside and outside Docker: | Directory on host | Directory inside docker | Comment | |-------------------|-------------------------|---------| | $HOME/xds-workspace | /home/devel/xds-workspace | XDS projects workspace location| | $HOME/xds-workspace/.xdt_0 | /xdt | location to store SDKs | | $USER_VOLUME | $USER_VOLUME | user path, see `--volume` option of `xds-docker-create-container.sh` script | #### Optional Settings When you create the container, you can use optional settings. This section shows minimal settings to configure the container. For more detailed `xds-server` configuration information including settings, see the "[xds-server configuration](../part-2/1_xds-server/2_config.html)" section. - **`--volume`** Adds a new shared directory using the `--volume` option (e.g. used with Path-Mapping folder types): ```bash # Create new XDS worker container and share extra '$HOME/my-workspace' directory bash ./xds-docker-create-container.sh --volume /my-workspace:$HOME/my-workspace ``` - **`--id`** Changes the port used by Docker: ```bash # Create new XDS worker container with a different port number ID=3 bash ./xds-docker-create-container.sh -id ${ID} # Check that new container is running (in example below id has been set to 3) docker ps | grep worker-xds f67079db4339 docker.automotivelinux.org/agl/worker-xds:5.0 "/usr/bin/wait_for..." About a minute ago Up 34 seconds 0.0.0.0:2225->22/tcp, 0.0.0.0:8003->8000/tcp, 0.0.0.0:10892->10809/tcp agl-xds-3 ``` **WARNING:** Changing the container id impacts the port number used to connect to `xds-server`. Consequently, you might need to adjust the `xds-agent` configuration in order to match the correct port number. In the previous example where the container id is set to "3", the export port number is `8003`. In this case, you must define "url" in the `xds-server` configuration as follows: ```json { ... "xdsServers": [ { "url": "http://localhost:8003" } ], ... } ``` For more information, see the [xds-agent configuration](../part-2/2_xds-agent/2_config.html) section. #### Manually Setup the Docker User ID If you are using path-mapping sharing type for your projects, you need to have the same user ID and group ID inside and outside Docker. By default, user, password and group names inside Docker are `devel`, `devel` and `1664`, respectively. **NOTE:** If you used the `xds-docker-create-container.sh` script to create the XDS Docker container, the user uid/gid inside Docker has already been changed. Use following commands to replace ID `1664` with your user and group ID: ```bash # Set the Docker container name (e.g. agl-xds-xxx where xxx is USERNAME@MACHINENAME-IDX-NAME). export CONTAINER_NAME=agl-xds-seb@laptop-0-seb docker ps | grep -q ${CONTAINER_NAME} || echo "ERROR: No container name \"${CONTAINER_NAME}\" please set a valid CONTAINER_NAME before you continue" # Kill all processes of with the user ID `devel`. This includes the running xds-server. docker exec ${CONTAINER_NAME} bash -c "/bin/loginctl kill-user devel" # Change user and group IDs inside Docker to match your user and group IDs. docker exec ${CONTAINER_NAME} bash -c "usermod -u $(id -u) devel" docker exec ${CONTAINER_NAME} bash -c "groupmod -g $(id -g) devel" # Update file ownerships. docker exec ${CONTAINER_NAME} bash -c "chown -R devel:devel /home/devel /tmp/xds*" # Restart the devel autologin service. docker exec ${CONTAINER_NAME} bash -c "systemctl restart autologin" # Restart xds-server as a service. The ssh port 2222 might depend on your container ID. ssh -p 2222 devel@localhost -- "systemctl --user restart xds-server" ``` ### Manually setup the Docker Password If you forget the password set for the container , you wont be able to ssh into the container and check on the files created. For such a time , you need to set up a new password for the container. Use the following commands to do just that: ```bash # This will let you access the bash shell inside the container as root docker exec -it ${CONTAINER_NAME} /bin/bash # Change the password of the user (root or devel) passwd ${USER} ``` ### Check if xds-server is Running (open XDS webapp) When the container starts up, `xds-server` automatically starts as a user service. If the container is running on your localhost, you can access a basic web application to check on `xds-server`: ```bash xdg-open http://localhost:8000 ``` From a shell prompt, you can check status, stop, and start `xds-server` using the following commands: ```bash # Status XDS server ssh -p 2222 devel@localhost systemctl --user status xds-server.service # Stop XDS server ssh -p 2222 devel@localhost systemctl --user stop xds-server.service # Start XDS server ssh -p 2222 devel@localhost systemctl --user start xds-server.service # Get XDS server logs ssh -p 2222 devel@localhost journalctl --user --unit=xds-server.service --output=cat ``` `xds-server` should be up and running. You can now install AGL SDKs. See the "[AGL SDKs](install-sdk.html)" section for more information. ## VirtualBox Appliance This section describes how to install the server part (`xds-server`) into a guest Virtual Machine (VM) supported by [VirtualBox](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VirtualBox). VirtualBox allows the creation and management of guest virtual machines that run versions and derivations on many types of systems (e.g. Linux, Window, MacOS, and so forth). ### Prerequisites The system on which you are installing the server part must have VirtualBox installed. For information on how to install VirtualBox, see the [VirtualBox documentation](https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads). ### Get the Appliance Use the following command to load the pre-built AGL SDK appliance image, which includes `xds-server`: ```bash wget http://iot.bzh/download/public/XDS/appliance/xds-vm-debian9_latest.ova ``` ### Clean the Old Appliance Only one appliance can exist on the machine. Consequently, you must remove any existing XDS appliance. Use the following commands: ```bash # Get the virtual machine name VDS_VMNAME=$(VBoxManage list vms | grep xds-vm-debian | cut -d "\"" -f2) echo ${VDS_VMNAME} # Remove the old XDS appliance [ -n ${VDS_VMNAME} ] && VBoxManage controlvm ${VDS_VMNAME} poweroff [ -n ${VDS_VMNAME} ] && VBoxManage unregistervm ${VDS_VMNAME} --delete ``` ### Create and Start a New Appliance You can create a new appliance by using a provided script or by using the VirtualBox GUI: ```bash # Import image into VirtualBox VBoxManage import ./xds-vm-debian9_latest.ova # Check import result VDS_VMNAME=$(VBoxManage list vms | grep xds-vm-debian | cut -d "\"" -f2) echo ${VDS_VMNAME} ``` Add a share folder to the appliance. You must use "path-mapping sharing type for projects": ```bash # Create local share folder mkdir -p $HOME/xds-workspace #Add share folder to appliance VBoxManage sharedfolder add ${VDS_VMNAME} --name XDS-workspace --hostpath $HOME/xds-workspace ``` Use the following command to start the appliance: ```bash # Start XDS appliance [ -n ${VDS_VMNAME} ] && VBoxManage startvm ${VDS_VMNAME} ``` ### Appliance Settings The image exposes the following network ports, which are NAT mode: - 8000 : `xds-server` to serve XDS basic web page - 2222 : ssh ### Check if xds-server is Running When the container in the virtual machine starts up, the `xds-server` automatically starts. To check if `xds-server` is correctly installed and running, you can access the XDS basic web page and refer to the instructions: ```bash # If the container/appliance is running on your local host # (else replace localhost with the name or the ip of the machine running the container) xdg-open http://localhost:8000 ``` `xds-server` should be up and running. You can now install AGL SDKs. See the "[AGL SDKs](install-sdk.html)" section for more information. ## Native This section describes how to install the server part (`xds-server`) 'natively' on a Linux-based system. **NOTE:** Hosts running a Linux distribution are the only hosts that support native installation of the server part. ### Prerequisites The system on which you are installing the server part must have `python3` installed, which allows `xds-server` to manage AGL SDKs. #### Installing Packages for Debian Use the following commands to install packages for `xds-server` on Debian-based systems: ```bash # Set 'DISTRO' (e.g. xUbuntu_16.04, xUbuntu_16.10, xUbuntu_17.04, Debian_8.0, Debian_9.0) export DISTRO="xUbuntu_16.04" # Set AGL_RELEASE (e.g. AGL_ElectricEel, AGL_FunkyFlounder, AGL_Master) export AGL_RELEASE="AGL_Master" wget -O - http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/isv:/LinuxAutomotive:/${AGL_RELEASE}/${DISTRO}/Release.key | sudo apt-key add - sudo bash -c "cat >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/AGL.list <
