Cirrus CI integration
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
GitLab CI shared runners only provide a docker environment running on Linux.
|
|
While it is possible to provide private runners for non-Linux platforms this
|
|
is not something most contributors/maintainers will wish to do.
|
|
|
|
To work around this limitation, we take advantage of `Cirrus CI`_'s free
|
|
offering: more specifically, we use the `cirrus-run`_ script to trigger Cirrus
|
|
CI jobs from GitLab CI jobs so that Cirrus CI job output is integrated into
|
|
the main GitLab CI pipeline dashboard.
|
|
|
|
There is, however, some one-time setup required. If you want FreeBSD and macOS
|
|
builds to happen when you push to your GitLab repository, you need to
|
|
|
|
* set up a GitHub repository for the project, eg. ``yourusername/qemu``.
|
|
This repository needs to exist for cirrus-run to work, but it doesn't need to
|
|
be kept up to date, so you can create it and then forget about it;
|
|
|
|
* enable the `Cirrus CI GitHub app`_ for your GitHub account;
|
|
|
|
* sign up for Cirrus CI. It's enough to log into the website using your GitHub
|
|
account;
|
|
|
|
* grab an API token from the `Cirrus CI settings`_ page;
|
|
|
|
* it may be necessary to push an empty ``.cirrus.yml`` file to your github fork
|
|
for Cirrus CI to properly recognize the project. You can check whether
|
|
Cirrus CI knows about your project by navigating to:
|
|
|
|
``https://cirrus-ci.com/yourusername/qemu``
|
|
|
|
* in the *CI/CD / Variables* section of the settings page for your GitLab
|
|
repository, create two new variables:
|
|
|
|
* ``CIRRUS_GITHUB_REPO``, containing the name of the GitHub repository
|
|
created earlier, eg. ``yourusername/qemu``;
|
|
|
|
* ``CIRRUS_API_TOKEN``, containing the Cirrus CI API token generated earlier.
|
|
This variable **must** be marked as *Masked*, because anyone with knowledge
|
|
of it can impersonate you as far as Cirrus CI is concerned.
|
|
|
|
Neither of these variables should be marked as *Protected*, because in
|
|
general you'll want to be able to trigger Cirrus CI builds from non-protected
|
|
branches.
|
|
|
|
Once this one-time setup is complete, you can just keep pushing to your GitLab
|
|
repository as usual and you'll automatically get the additional CI coverage.
