mesh-catalog #495 gave read on every repository to the tools' account alone. The build modules fetch over ssh as nox-builder (the forge-account provider's builders account, ADR 0466 §3), so ace's and g14's fetch of jschoubben/car-hunter and jschoubben/snake still failed; the machines' agents (nox-agent, ADR 0410 §1) could not read them either. - gitea: readall.ts grants every account of one list, meshAccounts in tools-account.ts (mesh-tools, nox-builder, nox-agent; a Go test holds the two Go names to internal/forgeaccount's constants), on the same start pass, forge events and tools. gitea_unreadable_repos answers per account and names the accounts the forge does not hold yet; gitea_grant_read takes accounts as well as repositories. An absent account is asked nothing; the start pass runs again ten minutes apart until every account was there once. - mesh-build-go, mesh-build-node, mesh-build-image: pin mesh-sdk ff81bdf8 (fix/fetch-reads-all), whose forgekey.Said keeps git's words past the bare "error:" line: the mirror's line said only "git -C: error:". Their own git reasons (ls-files, ls-remote, rev-parse, repack) go through it too.
mesh-build-image — the image build module
Design 47, release R4c-9 (novox/hq ADR 0487, ADR 0466 §1, ADR 0469; issue 1703). The module that builds a module's
image artifact from the Dockerfile in the module's own directory, on a build machine, as an account of its own
(runs-as, no login shell, home at mode 0700). It serves every module's image, whatever the base, so it is not a
build module for one module. It claims no seat: it is assigned to the build machines and runs dark until the builder
uses it.
Rootless
The tool is buildah, which the buildah module installs and provides as rootless-image-build with the machine's
reach: a machine without it refuses this module at assignment, naming buildah. The build runs as the module's own
account in a user namespace (--isolation oci), with buildah's image store and runtime state in
/var/lib/mesh-build-image-store (outside the home), no mount of the host, no container runtime socket, no registry
credential and an environment built from scratch.
The account's subordinate user and group ranges are not declared anywhere: the node-engine makes every user account
with useradd, which allocates them. The module's health reads /etc/subuid and /etc/subgid and is unhealthy
without a range for the account, without buildah, or when a user namespace cannot be made.
The Dockerfile's steps may use the network (ADR 0487 §6); nothing a step can read holds a key.
Steps
build_image_fetchfetches a commit over SSH into a workspace (a base commit makes the merge preview, as the other build modules' fetch). Long: answers a step id and ends on its key insteps.build_image_buildbuilds one image artifact:buildah budwith the Dockerfile of the module's directory as file and context,--target, and the imagesbuild.onpins as--build-arg. Answers the image's digest. Withpublish: true(a merged trunk commit only) the module's own process then pushes it to the registry under<module>/<artifact>:<tag of its own>(the first 12 hex digits of the digest unless the call gives one), waiting out a registry held still, and the key carries the digest the registry serves and the reference pinned by it. Withoutpublish(a pull request) nothing is pushed.build_image_copycopies an upstream artifact (module,artifact,from) registry to registry into the artifact store over the registry API, the whole index and every blob, by the digest the manifest pins (ADR 0498 §4), and verifies the store serves that digest. Answers the digest and the reference<registry>/<module>/<artifact>@sha256:<digest>. Afromwithout a digest failsnot pinned:. It needs no workspace and no buildah.- It refuses, naming why, an image whose build context is a whole repository (
context) or whosebuild.onnames another module's artifact (unsupportedImageinbuild.go): those forms belong to the images build-agent builds until it is removed at R4g. build_image_release {workspace}removes a workspace at once (no guard, no floor; one already gone is no error, one a running step holds is refused); its caller calls it once its last step answered. A failed fetch removes its own workspace, and one no caller released is removed two hours after its last use (ADR 0509).- A fetch and a build are refused,
refused: <node> has N GiB free under the floor of 20 GiB (on <dir>), and the health is unhealthy with that text, while the work directory's or the image store's filesystem has less than 20 GiB free (issue 1839). A copy writes nothing to the disk and is not refused. build_image_step,build_image_steps,build_image_statusandbuild_image_healthread.
The registry's address is placed into <home>/registry as ${seat:mesh-artifact-store:reach} (host:port): the provisioner's client fills a moved module's placement, and the artifact store has not moved, so a ${bound:artifact-store:...} is refused at composition (issue 1703).
