# Vieter
|
||||
|
||||
Vieter is a re-implementation of the Pieter project. The goal is to create a
|
||||
simple PKGBUILD-based build system, combined with a self-hosted Arch
|
||||
repository. This would allow me to periodically re-build AUR packages (or
|
||||
PKGBUILDs I created myself), & make sure I never have to compile anything on my
|
||||
own systems, making my updates a lot quicker.
|
||||
## Documentation
|
||||
|
||||
I host documentation for Vieter over at https://rustybever.be/docs/vieter.
|
||||
|
||||
## Overview
|
||||
|
||||
Vieter is a restart of the Pieter project. The goal is to create a simple,
|
||||
lightweight self-hostable Arch repository server, paired with a system that
|
||||
periodically builds & publishes select Arch packages. This would allow me to
|
||||
build AUR packages (or PKGBUILDs I created myself) "in the cloud" & make sure I
|
||||
never have to compile anything on my own systems, making my updates a lot
|
||||
quicker.

## Why V?

can be found [here](https://git.rustybever.be/Chewing_Bever/vieter-v). You can

obtain this modified version of the compiler by running `make v`, which will

clone & build the compiler. Afterwards, all make commands that require the V

## Features
|
||||
|
||||
The project will consist of a server-agent model, where one or more builder
|
||||
nodes can register with the server. These agents communicate with the Docker
|
||||
daemon to start builds, which are then uploaded to the server's repository. The
|
||||
server also allows for non-agents to upload packages, as long as they have the
|
||||
required secrets. This allows me to also develop non-git packages, such as my
|
||||
terminal, & upload them to the servers using CI.
|
||||
* Arch repository server
|
||||
* Support for multiple repositories & multiple architectures
|
||||
* Endpoints for publishing new packages
|
||||
* API for managing repositories to build
|
||||
* Build system
|
||||
* Periodic rebuilding of packages
|
||||
* Prevent unnecessary rebuilds
|
||||
|
||||
## Directory Structure
|
||||
## Building
|
||||
|
||||
The data directory consists of three main directories:
|
||||
In order to build Vieter, you'll need a couple of libraries:
|
||||
|
||||
* `downloads` - This is where packages are initially downloaded. Because vieter
|
||||
moves files from this folder to the `pkgs` folder, these two folders should
|
||||
best be on the same drive
|
||||
* `pkgs` - This is where approved package files are stored.
|
||||
* `repos` - Each repository gets a subfolder here. The subfolder contains the
|
||||
uncompressed contents of the db file.
|
||||
* Each repo subdirectory contains the compressed db & files archive for the
|
||||
repository, alongside a directory called `files` which contains the
|
||||
uncompressed contents.
|
||||
* gc
|
||||
* libarchive
|
||||
* openssl
|
||||
|
||||
Before building Vieter, you'll have to build the compiler using `make v`.
|
||||
Afterwards, run `make` to build the debug binary.
