CI fixed itself somehow.

Tried a cross build on AMD64 build host for ARM64 build target.

CI failed because it hit GitHub’s 6 hours maximum CI job limitation. It’s probably slow due to partially needed emulation using QEMU for cross builds.

If the build host was ARM64, the build would probably be faster.

Nice but won’t fix cross building testing (timeout issues). And we’d need an (ephemeral) ARM64 CI test server (our CI build server, not github CI server).

Updates

  • Project AWS account created, IAM users in place
  • Automated builder triggers Packer AMI builds for ec2 instances, both arm and amd debian
  • Terraform mgmt of security groups in AWS, IAM roles will come soon

Future vision

Lite builds: These will test arm64 and amd64 kicksecure raw builds. We might be able to do this entirely in docker using Github runners and not using AWS

Full builds: These can be a large parallelized operation. They will be run rarely, and can test:

  • arm64 raw builds (all flavors)
  • amd64 raw builds (all flavors)
  • arm64 ks iso
  • amd64 ks iso
  • amd64 ova builds with virtualbox install (all flavors)
  • macOS ova boot via raw conversion
  • arm64 and amd64 kvm builds (all flavors…can automate with script)
