Getting started

Before we start, make sure you have at least one of the two installed:

• docker-compose installation docs.
• podman-compose installation docs.

Also, here are some useful things about the CLI: - It has all the functionality required to run the OCI Env developer environment. See oci-env --help for a list of supported commands. _ It can be run in the oci_env/ root dir. - It can be executed from anywhere by setting the OCI_ENV_PATH environment variable to the oci_env/ project root dir. So let's get started.

1. Install the oci-env python client.

cd oci_env

# if pip3 isn't available, try pip. Python 3 is required for oci-env.
pip3 install -e client

2. Set up your directory with the following structure:

.
├── oci_env
├── pulp-openapi-generator
├── pulp_ansible
├── pulp_container
├── pulpcore
└── any_other_python_sources

The OCI env project should be in the same directory as any pulp plugins you wish to run.

Note, the /src/ folder in the container is the parent folder containing the oci_env and all plugin checkouts on the container host.

3. Define your compose.env file.

cp compose.env.example compose.env

A minimal compose.env will look something like this:

DEV_SOURCE_PATH=pulpcore:pulp_ansible

# this is set to podman by default.
COMPOSE_BINARY=docker

In this example, ../pulpcore and ../pulp_ansible will be installed from source. Other settings include:

• COMPOSE_PROFILE: this is used to define environments with extra services running. This could be used to launch a UI, set up an authentication provider service or configure an object store. Example COMPOSE_PROFILE=ha:galaxy_ng/ui. This will use the the ha profile from oci_env/profiles/ and the ui profile from galaxy_ng/profiles/
• PULP_<SETTING_NAME>: set any setting.py value for your environment. Example: PULP_GALAXY_REQUIRE_CONTENT_APPROVAL=False

4. Run the environment

# build the images
oci-env compose build

# start the service
oci-env compose up 

The oci-env compose command accepts all the same arguments as podman-compose or docker-compose

By default the API will be served from http://localhost:5001/pulp/api/v3/. You can login with admin/password by default. E.g.:

http --auth admin:password get http://localhost:5001/pulp/api/v3/status/

The api will reload anytime changes are made to any of the DEV_SOURCE_PATH projects.

oci-env compose accepts all of the arguments that docker and podman compose take. You can also launch the environment in the background with oci-env compose up -d and access the logs with oci-env compose logs -f if you don't want to run it in the foreground.

5. Teardown

When you are done, you can tear down your container. Data in your system will be preserved when you restart it, or you can choose to tear down the volumes as aswell:

# Preserve data
oci-env compose up

# Tear down data
oci-env compose down --volumes  # Shut down the containers and delete all the container data on your system
oci-env db reset # alias
