Debian Build System
Molior is based on aptly for managing Debian package repositories and sbuild for building Debian packages for multiple distributions and architectures.
Molior allows the following via WebUI, REST API or commandline tools:
- Manage Debian repository mirrors
- Manage Debian repositories grouped in projects and versions
- Manage project dependencies between base mirrors and other projects
- Provide build nodes (amd64, arm64) on VMs or bare metal for running sbuild
- Build debianized git repositories for multiple projects and architectures (i386, amd64, armhf, arm64)
- Create project deployments (ISO Installers, VM images, containers, ...)
See INSTALL.md.
The molior Debian Build System consists of the following components:
- molior-server
- based on aiohttp
- manages git repositories
- manages project and versions
- manages Debian repositories (aptly)
- creates Debian source packages
- provides REST API
- provides build and deployment environments (schroot, debootstrap)
- uses aptly REST API
- uses PostgreSQL database
- molior-web
- based on AngularJS, nodejs
- uses molior REST API
- aptly
- see http://aptly.info
- manages Debian repository mirrors
- manages Debian project repositories
- provides REST API
- contains molior specific API improvements
- molior-client
- based on aiohttp
- runs on build nodes
- uses molior REST API
- uses build environment
- molior-tools
- create releases
- create deployments
- automation scripts
Point your browser to the URL of the molior server, login with admin and the password defined in /etc/molior/molior/yml.
The following will mirror Debian/stretch for amd64 and arm64. It will take approx. 73GB of disk space.
- Click on Mirror, New Mirror
- Name: stretch
- Version: 9.9
- Continue
- Check: Basemirror
- UnCheck: Mirror Source
- Uncheck: Mirror Installer
- Distribution: stretch
- Select Architectures: amd64, arm64
- Components: main
- Source: http://httpredir.debian.org/debian (or use apt-cacher-ng URL)
- Select: Use Mirror Key
- Continue
- Add the keys (separately): EF0F382A1A7B6500 8B48AD6246925553 7638D0442B90D010 04EE7237B7D453EC
- Key Server: hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80
- Confirm
Depending on the network and disk performance, this might take a 2-3 hours.
Note: if you are mirroring Debian/buster use these keys: 04EE7237B7D453EC 648ACFD622F3D138 DCC9EFBF77E11517)
Molior can create mirror of APT repositories, for example mono:
Name: mono
Version: 5.2
Dist: stretch
Archs: amd64
Source: http://download.mono-project.com/repo/debian
Keys: 3FA7E0328081BFF6A14DA29AA6A19B38D3D831EF
Key Server: hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80
or Docker:
Name: docker
Version: 17.09
Dist: stretch
Archs: amd64
Mirror source packages: no
Base mirror: no
Components: stable
Source: https://download.docker.com/linux/debian
Key URL: https://download.docker.com/linux/debian/gpg
- Name: test
- Click new
- Project Version: 1.0
- Choose base mirror
- Choose amd64, arm64 arhcitecutres
- Click project: test
- Click project version: 1.0
- Click Repositories
- Click NEW REPOSITORY
- URL: https://github.com/neolynx/sold.git
- Click Continue
- Click Continue
In GitLab:
- Go to Settings/Integrations (or Administration/System-Hooks)
- Enter URL: http://moliorserver/api/build/gitlab (replace with your molior instance)
- Choose secret token id authenticated triggers are desired
- Configure secret token in /etc/molior/molior/yml (gitlab/auth_token)
- Select "Push events" if CI builds are desired
- Select "Tag push events"
Molior can trigger a REST API when build states change.
POST https://remoteserver/api/{{build.commit|urlencode}}
{
"key":"molior-{{platform.distrelease}}-{{platform.version}}-{{platform.architecture}}-{{project.name}}-{{project.version}}",
"name":"Molior {{platform.architecture}} / {{platform.version}} / {{platform.distrelease}} Build for {{build.commit}}",
{% if build.status == "building" %}
"state":"INPROGRESS",
{% elif build.status == "successful" %}
"state":"SUCCESSFUL",
{% else %}
"state":"FAILED",
{% endif %}
"description":"{{build.status}}",
"url":"{{build.url}}"
}

The following chapters describe how to setup a development environment. For building Debian packages in molior, the creation of a Debian mirror is required. This needs approximately 80GB of free disk space.
The following source respositories are needed:
# molior
git clone https://github.com/molior-dbs/molior.git
git clone https://github.com/molior-dbs/molior-web.git
# aptly
git clone --recursive https://github.com/molior-dbs/aptlydeb.git
# optionally:
git clone https://github.com/neolynx/launchy.git
git clone https://github.com/neolynx/cirrina.git
git clone https://github.com/neolynx/aiohttp_jrpc.git

git clone https://github.com/molior-dbs/aiofile.git
git clone https://github.com/molior-dbs/async-cron.git
git clone https://github.com/molior-dbs/git-url-parse.gitAll git repositories are debianized. Build dependencies can be installed by running the following in a git repo:
apt-get build-dep .
Debian packages can be build with:
debuild -us -uc -b
