README

Remotebuild

Compile applications, packages, repositories remotely.

Supported build types

• AUR packages

Requirements

• PostgresSql database (recommended)
• Docker

Compile

make build

Concept

• You have one build server/VM where the server app needs to be up and running
• Use the client to create/control jobs
• A job exists of two sub types of jobs: Build job and Upload Job
• Only one job can be run at the same time

Setup

• Install docker
• Install PostgreSql (recommended)

./main config create # Create an empty config

Fill out the database section. For help refer to here

Database

You can use PostgreSQL or Sqlite. Sqlite should only be used for debugging/testing purposes.
Example of a recommended database setup:

[...]
database:
  databasetype: postgres
  host: localhost
  username: "rbuild"
  database: "rbuild"
  pass: "mysecretpassword"
  databaseport: 5432
  sslmode: require
[...]

If you just want to test it and don't have a running PostgreSQL server, you can use following database config:

[...]
database:
  databasetype: sqlite
  databesFile: "testdb.db"
[...]
