# XDS - X(cross) Development System Server `xds-server` is a web server that allows user to remotely cross build applications. The first goal is to provide a multi-platform cross development tool with near-zero installation. The second goal is to keep application sources locally (on user's machine) to make it compatible with existing IT policies (e.g. corporate backup or SCM), and let user to continue to work as usual (use his favorite editor, keep performance while editing/browsing sources). This powerful and portable webserver (written in [Go](https://golang.org)) exposes a REST interface over HTTP. `xds-server` uses [Syncthing](https://syncthing.net/) tool to synchronize projects files from user machine to build server machine or container. `xds-server` is commonly running on a build server (within a container or not) and [xds-agent](2_xds-agent.md) must run on the developer/user machine in order to setup the following connection chain: ```schema developer/user machine | build server or container ---------------------------|----------------------------- xds-cli <---> xds-agent <-|-> xds-server ``` **SEE ALSO**: [xds-cli](https://github.com/iotbzh/xds-cli), a command-line tool that allows you to send commands to `xds-agent / xds-server` and for example build your application from command-line or from your favorite IDE (such as Netbeans or Visual Studio Code) through `xds-agent <=> xds-server`. ## How to run `xds-server` has been designed to easily compile and debug [AGL](https://www.automotivelinux.org/) applications. That's why `xds-server` has been integrated into AGL SDK docker container. >**Note:** For more info about AGL SDK docker container, please refer to [AGL SDK Quick Setup](http://docs.automotivelinux.org/docs/getting_started/en/dev/reference/setup-sdk-environment.html) ### Get the container Load the pre-build AGL SDK docker image including `xds-server`: ```bash seb@laptop ~$ wget -O - http://iot.bzh/download/public/2017/XDS/docker/docker_agl_worker-xds-latest.tar.xz | docker load ``` ### List container You should get `docker.automotivelinux.org/agl/worker-xds:X.Y` image ```bash # List image that we just built seb@laptop ~$ docker images | grep worker-xds docker.automotivelinux.org/agl/worker-xds 3.99.1 786d65b2792c 6 days ago 602MB ``` ### Start xds-server within the container Use provided script to create a new docker image and start a new container: ```bash # Get script seb@laptop ~$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/iotbzh/xds-server/master/scripts/xds-docker-create-container.sh # Create new XDS worker container seb@laptop ~$ bash ./xds-docker-create-container.sh # Check that new container is running seb@laptop ~$ docker ps | grep worker-xds b985d81af40c docker.automotivelinux.org/agl/worker-xds:3.99.1 "/usr/bin/wait_for..." 6 days ago Up 4 hours 0.0.0.0:8000->8000/tcp, 0.0.0.0:69->69/udp, 0.0.0.0:10809->10809/tcp, 0.0.0.0:2222->22/tcp agl-xds-seb@laptop-0-seb ``` Note that you can also add a new shared directory using `--volume` option in order to use for example with Path-Mapping folder type. ```bash # Create new XDS worker container and share extra '$HOME/my-workspace' directory seb@laptop ~$ bash ./xds-docker-create-container.sh --volume /my-workspace:$HOME/my-workspace ``` This container (ID=0) exposes following ports: - 8000 : `xds-server` to serve XDS webapp - 69 : TFTP - 2222 : ssh #### Manually setup docker user id **Note:** if you used `xds-docker-create-container.sh` script to create XDS docker container, user uid/gid inside docker has already been changed by this script. If you plan to **use path-mapping sharing type for your projects**, you need to have the same user id and group id inside and outside docker. By default user and group name inside docker is set `devel` (id `1664`), use following commands to replace id `1664` with your user/group id: ```bash # Set docker container name to use (usually agl-xds-xxx where xxx is USERNAME@MACHINENAME-IDX-NAME) seb@laptop ~$ export CONTAINER_NAME=agl-xds-seb@laptop-0-seb # First kill all processes of devel user (including running xds-server) seb@laptop ~$ docker exec ${CONTAINER_NAME} bash -c "/bin/loginctl kill-user devel" # Change user and group id inside docker to match your ids seb@laptop ~$ docker exec ${CONTAINER_NAME} bash -c "usermod -u $(id -u) devel" seb@laptop ~$ docker exec ${CONTAINER_NAME} bash -c "groupmod -g $(id -g) devel" # Update some files ownership seb@laptop ~$ docker exec ${CONTAINER_NAME} bash -c "chown -R devel:devel /home/devel /tmp/xds*" # Restart devel autologin service seb@laptop ~$ docker exec ${CONTAINER_NAME} bash -c "systemctl start autologin" # Restart xds-server as a service (ssh port 2222 may depend on your container ID) seb@laptop ~$ ssh -p 2222 devel@localhost -- "systemctl --user start xds-server" ``` ## Check if xds-server is running (open XDS webapp) **`xds-server` is automatically started** as a service on container startup. If the container is running on your localhost, you can access to a basic web application: ```bash seb@laptop ~$ xdg-open http://localhost:8000 ``` If needed you can status / stop / start it manually using following commands: ```bash # Log into docker container seb@laptop ~$ ssh -p 2222 devel@localhost # Status XDS server: devel@docker ~$ systemctl --user status xds-server.service # Stop XDS server devel@docker ~$ systemctl --user stop xds-server.service # Start XDS server devel@docker ~$ systemctl --user start xds-server.service # Get XDS server logs devel@docker ~$ journalctl --user --unit=xds-server.service --output=cat ``` ### Manually Start XDS server XDS server is started as a service by Systemd. ```bash /lib/systemd/system/xds-server.service ``` This Systemd service starts a bash script `/opt/AGL/xds/server/xds-server-start.sh` If you needed you can change default setting by defining specific environment variables in `/etc/default/xds-server`. For example to control log level, just set LOG_LEVEL env variable knowing that supported *level* are: panic, fatal, error, warn, info, debug. ```bash seb@laptop ~$ ssh -p 2222 devel@localhost devel@docker ~$ echo 'LOG_LEVEL=debug' | sudo tee --append /etc/default/xds-server > /dev/null devel@docker ~$ systemctl --user restart xds-server.service devel@docker ~$ tail -f /tmp/xds-server/logs/xds-server.log ``` ### SDK cross-toolchain Management #### Setup to add support of a new SDK family **Optional step**: read this chapter only if you plan to add a new SDK family. `xds-server` dynamically detects supported SDKs by scanning sub-directories of `sdkScriptsDir` directory (see [Configuration chapter](#configuration)). Each sub-directory (usually name is the same as the SDK family) of `sdkScriptsDir` must contain a set of scripts that will be called by `xds-server` to managed SDKs of a specific family. These scripts are: - `add`: used to add/install a new SDK - `db-dump`: returned the list of available and installed SDKs (JSON format) - `db-update`: update SDKs database - `get-family-config`: returned SDK family configuration structure (JSON format) - `get-sdk-info`: extract SDK info (JSON format) from a SDK file/tarball - `remove`: used to remove an existing SDK For example, here 2 SDKs family (`agl` and `zephyr`) are defined : ```bash # > tree ./sdks/ ./sdks/ ├── agl │ ├── add │ ├── db-dump │ ├── db-update │ ├── get-family-config │ ├── get-sdk-info │ └── remove ├── README.md └── zephyr ├── add │ ├── db-dump │ ├── db-update │ ├── get-family-config │ ├── get-sdk-info └── remove ``` On startup `xds-server` will call first `sdks/*/get-family-config` to get configuration of each SDK family and also call `sdks/*/db-dump` scripts to get the initial list of available and installed SDKs. Please refer to `sdks/README.md` for more information about scripts definition and to understand how to add support of a new SDK family. #### Install a new SDK from command line Used `sdks` command of `xds-cli` tool to managed SDKs. ```bash # List all available SDKs xds-cli sdks ls -a List of available SDKs: ID NAME STATUS VERSION ARCH ec15afe0 AGL-release-eel-4.99.4-raspberrypi3 Not Installed 4.99.4 armv7vehf-neon-vfpv4 944d2d5a AGL-snapshots-master-latest-intel-corei7-64 Not Installed 4.99.3+snapshot corei7-64 cf3a4365 AGL-release-dab-4.0.2-qemux86-64 Not Installed 4.0.2 corei7-64 d65fe750 AGL-release-eel-latest-qemux86-64 Not Installed 4.99.3 corei7-64 a0ae663d poky-agl-corei7-64-3.99.1+snapshot Installed 3.99.1+snapshot corei7-64 87f0400b AGL-release-dab-3.99.3-m3ulcb-nogfx Installed 3.99.3 aarch64 8c2f2841 AGL-release-dab-4.0.2-dragonboard-410c Not Installed 4.0.2 aarch64 ... # Install a SDK (downloaded + install) xds-cli sdks install d65fe750 Installation of 'AGL-release-eel-latest-qemux86-64' SDK (id d65fe750-d3a7-38f5-83d8-3d3806054f8d) successfully started.

Then switch to `SDKs MANAGEMENT` view : ![](../part-1/pictures/xds-dashboard-sdks-mgt.png){:: style="margin:auto; display:flex"} Use filter boxes to find the SDK you want to install and then click on plus icon (Actions column) to start installation. SDK download and installation process may take several minutes and output of installation script (output of `add` script mentioned in above chapter). ![](../part-1/pictures/xds-dashboard-sdks-install.png){:: style="margin:auto; display:flex"} Note that you can abort installation by clicking on `CANCEL` button. #### Un-install a SDK from command line Used `sdks` command of `xds-cli` tool to managed SDKs. ```bash # List installed SDKs xds-cli sdks ls List of installed SDKs: ID NAME STATUS VERSION ARCH c39e5998 poky-agl_aarch64_4.0.1 Installed 4.0.1 aarch64 d610bfbf poky-agl-aarch64.current_on_iotbzh_download-3.99.1+snapshot Installed 3.99.1+snapshot aarch64.current_on_iotbzh_download a0ae663d poky-agl-corei7-64-3.99.1+snapshot Installed 3.99.1+snapshot corei7-64 87f0400b AGL-release-dab-3.99.3-m3ulcb-nogfx Installed 3.99.3 aarch64 352c0584 poky-agl-corei7-64-3.99.2+snapshot Installed 3.99.2+snapshot corei7-64 d65fe750 AGL-release-eel-latest-qemux86-64 Installed 4.99.5 corei7-64 74f78335 poky-agl-aarch64.libmicrohttp_0.9.55-3.99.1+snapshot Installed 3.99.1+snapshot aarch64.libmicrohttp_0.9.55 # Un-install a SDK xds-cli sdks uninstall d65fe750 SDK ID d65fe750-d3a7-38f5-83d8-3d3806054f8d successfully deleted. ``` #### Un-install a SDK from XDS Dashboard Open XDS-Dashboard in web-browser and select `SDKs` entry in left side menu. If needed, switch to `BASIC SDKS VIEW` view : ### XDS server REST API and Web application `xds-server` exposes a REST API and serves a basic web-application. REST API based url is `http://localhost:8000/api/v1/` when XDS server is running on your host (localhost) and basic web-application is available at [http://localhost:8000](http://localhost:8000). Just replace `localhost` by the host name or ip when `xds-server` is running on another host. ```bash # Get version using REST API curl http://localhost:8000/api/v1/version # Open browser and local xds-server web-application xdg-open http://localhost:8000 ``` Then follow instructions provided on this page to install and start `xds-agent` that must run locally on your machine. See also [xds-agent documentation](2_xds-agent.md) for more details. ## Build xds-server from scratch ### Dependencies - Install and setup [Go](https://golang.org/doc/install) version 1.8.1 or higher to compile this tool. - Install [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/) - Install [nodejs](https://nodejs.org/en/) Ubuntu: ```bash sudo apt-get install golang npm curl git zip unzip sudo npm install --global @angular/cli # Angular Command Line Interface # Install LTS version of nodejs sudo n lts ``` openSUSE: ```bash sudo zypper install go npm git curl zip unzip sudo npm install --global @angular/cli # Angular Command Line Interface # Install LTS version of nodejs sudo n lts ``` Don't forget to open new user session after installing the packages. ### Building #### Native build Create a GOPATH variable(must be a full path): ```bash export GOPATH=$(realpath ~/workspace_go) ``` Clone this repo into your `$GOPATH/src/github.com/iotbzh` and use delivered Makefile: ```bash mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/iotbzh cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/iotbzh git clone https://github.com/iotbzh/xds-server.git cd xds-server make all ``` And to install `xds-server` (by default in `/opt/AGL/xds/server`): ```bash make install ``` **Warning:** makefile install rule and default values in configuration file are set to fit the docker setup, so you may need to adapt some settings when you want to install xds-server natively. **Note:** Used `DESTDIR` to specify another install directory ```bash make install DESTDIR=$HOME/opt/xds-server ``` #### XDS docker image As an alternative to a pre-build image, you can rebuild the container from scratch. `xds-server` has been integrated as a flavour of AGL SDK docker image. So to rebuild docker image just execute following commands: ```bash # Clone docker-worker-generator git repo git clone https://git.automotivelinux.org/AGL/docker-worker-generator # Start build that will create a docker image cd docker-worker-generator make build FLAVOUR=xds ``` ### Configuration `xds-server` configuration is driven by a JSON config file (`server-config.json`). Here is the logic to determine which `server-config.json` file will be used: 1. from command line option: `--config myConfig.json` 1. `$HOME/.xds/server/server-config.json` file 1. `/etc/xds/server/server-config.json` file 1. `/server-config.json` file Supported fields in configuration file are (all fields are optional and example below corresponds to the default values): - **httpPort** : HTTP port of client webapp/REST API - **webAppDir** : location of client web application (default: webapp/dist) - **shareRootDir** : root directory where projects will be copied - **logsDir** : directory to store logs (eg. syncthing output) - **sdkScriptsDir** : directory where scripts, used to managed SDKs, are installed - **syncthing.binDir** : syncthing binaries directory (default: executable directory) - **syncthing.home"** : syncthing home directory (usually .../syncthing-config) - **syncthing.gui-address** : syncthing gui url (default ) - **syncthing.gui-apikey** : syncthing api-key to use (default auto-generated) ```json { "httpPort": 8000, "webAppDir": "webapp/dist", "shareRootDir": "${HOME}/.xds/server/projects", "logsDir": "/tmp/logs", "sdkScriptsDir": "${EXEPATH}/scripts/sdks", "syncthing": { "binDir": "./bin", "home": "${HOME}/.xds/server/syncthing-config", "gui-address": "http://localhost:8385", "gui-apikey": "123456789", } } ``` >**Note:** environment variables are supported by using `${MY_VAR}` syntax. ## Debugging ### XDS server architecture The server part is written in *Go* and web app (basic HTML) in *Angular4*. ```bash | +-- bin/ where xds-server binary file will be built | +-- conf.d Linux configuration and startup files (systemd user service) | +-- glide.yaml Go package dependency file | +-- lib/ sources of server part (Go) | +-- main.go main entry point of of Web server (Go) | +-- Makefile makefile including | +-- README.md this readme | +-- scripts/ hold various scripts used for installation or startup | +-- tools/ temporary directory to hold development tools (like glide) | +-- vendor/ temporary directory to hold Go dependencies packages | +-- webapp/ source client basic web application ``` Visual Studio Code launcher settings can be found into `.vscode/launch.json`.
