fissile

README

Fissile converts existing BOSH final or dev releases into docker images.

It does this using just the releases, without a BOSH deployment, CPIs, or a BOSH agent.

Getting fissile

Prerequisites

Building fissile needs Go 1.7 or higher and Docker.

Build procedure

Fissile requires generated code using additional tools, and therefore isn't go get-able.

$ go get -d github.com/SUSE/fissile       # Download sources
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/SUSE/fissile
$ make tools                              # install required tools; only needed first time
$ make docker-deps                        # pull docker images required to build
$ make all

Depending on your architecture you can use the fissile binary files from those directories: fissile/build/darwin-amd64 or fissile/build/linux-amd64.

Using Fissile

Please refer to the following additional documentation:

• Walkthrough on configuring and using fissile to build a docker image and corresponding Kubernetes resource definition
• Additional Kubernetes usage instructions and resource definition details
• Information on stemcells and how to build them
• Auto-generated usage reference

Developing Fissile

In general, use of the default make target is preferred before making a pull request. This will run the unit tests, as well as various linters. To manually build fissile only, run make bindata build. This will run the necessary code generation before building the binary.

Testing

Run tests with make test (or use go test directly if you want to filter for specific tests, etc.) There are environment variables that can be set to adjust how tests are run:

Name	Value
FISSILE_TEST_DOCKER_IMAGE	the name of the default docker image for testing(e.g. splatform/fissile-opensuse-stemcell:42.2)

Vendoring

Fissile uses Godep for vendoring required source code. To update the vendored source tree, please run godep save ./... and double-check that it has not done anything silly.
