pxp-agent-vanagon

The pxp-agent-vanagon was created to build pxp-agent and prepare a .tar.gz that will be used in puppet-agent.

The project is built using vanagon, a packaging utility.

NOTE: the resulted archive cannot be used to run pxp-agent, it is created to be used in the puppet-agent build process.

Available components in the final archive include pxp-agent, cpp-hocon, cpp-pcp-client, leatherman. See the configs/components directory for a full list.

Build instructions

To build the pxp-agent project:

  • Ruby and bundler must be installed
  • You must have root ssh access to a VM to build on

First, install the gem dependencies:

$ bundle install

Next, if you are building on infrastructure outside of Puppet, you will need to modify some package dependency names in the configs directory. Any references to pl-gcc, pl-cmake, pl-yaml-cpp, etc. in these files will need to be changed to refer to equivalent installable packages on your target platform. In many cases, you can drop the pl- prefix and ensure that CXX or CC environment variables are what they should be.

You can build the project using vanagon like this:

$ bundle exec build pxp-agent <platform> <target-vm>

Where:

  • platform is the name of a platform supported by vanagon and configured in the configs/platforms directory
  • target-vm is the hostname of the VM you will build on. You must have root ssh access configured for this host, and it must match the target platform.
