This removes the 'set -e' bash option to make sure 89-prepare-stackviz doesn't cause DIB builds to fail if npm encounters an error. Instead, errors are caught and either logged or ignored outright and the script always returns successfully. Additionally, this adds a 15 minute timeout for the npm install to prevent any image build failures that would take excessively long. Change-Id: I5272eac323069a8df8ab64e1cc5d7c0bad9bd879 |

Using diskimage-builder to build devstack-gate nodes
In addition to being able to just download and consume images that are the same as what run devstack-gate, it's easy to make your own for local dev or testing - or just for fun.
Install diskimage-builder
Install the dependencies:
sudo apt-get install kpartx qemu-utils curl python-yamlInstall diskimage-builder:
sudo -H pip install diskimage-builderBuild an image
Building an image is simple, we have a script!
DISTRO="ubuntu" bash tools/build-image.shSee the script for environment variables to set distribution, etc. You should be left with a .qcow2 image file of your selected distribution.
It is a good idea to set TMP_DIR to somewhere with
plenty of space to avoid the disappointment of a full-disk mid-way
through the script run.
While testing, consider exporting DIB_OFFLINE=true, to skip updating the cache.
Mounting the image
If you would like to examine the contents of the image, you can mount it on a loopback device using qemu-nbd.
sudo apt-get install qemu-utils
sudo modprobe nbd max_part=16
sudo mkdir -p /tmp/newimage
sudo qemu-nbd -c /dev/nbd1 /path/to/devstack-gate-precise.qcow2
sudo mount /dev/nbd1p1 /tmp/newimageor use the scripts
sudo apt-get install qemu-utils
sudo modprobe nbd max_part=16
sudo tools/mount-image.sh devstack-gate-precise.qcow2
sudo tools/umount-image.shOther things
It's a qcow2 image, so you can do tons of things with it. You can upload it to glance, you can boot it using kvm, and you can even copy it to a cloud server, replace the contents of the server with it and kexec the new kernel.
