Please follow the steps on the installation page

Preperation

only when runing under non root user.

sudo mkdir -p /opt/aerobase /var/cache/omnibus
sudo chown $USER:$USER /opt/aerobase
sudo chown $USER:$USER /var/cache/omnibus

Windows Builds

Required packages:

• WiX Toolset v3.11
• Windows Kits 10
• [bsdtar] https://sourceforge.net/projects/gnuwin32/ - once installed rename bsdtar to tar
• Install .net 3.5 and .net 4+
• Create Directory C:\omnibus-ruby

Any OS

Required packages:

• Java OpenJDK
• NodeJS
• Apache Maven 3.5+

Installation

You must have a sane Ruby 2.7+ environment with Bundler installed. Ensure all the required gems are installed:

yum -y install gcc ruby-devel rubygems libpng-devel
gem install bundler -v 2.3.18
gem install omnibus -v 9.0.24 
npm install -g phantomjs-prebuilt

# Windows Only - Currently ruby build is working only if rubyinstaller-devkit-2.5.7-1-x64 is installed
$ load-omnibus-toolchain.bat
$ git config --system core.longpaths true

$ bundle install --binstubs
gem install berkshelf
berks vendor files/aerobase-cookbooks/

Usage

Build

You create a platform-specific package using the build project command:

$ bundle exec omnibus build aerobase

$ bundle exec omnibus build aerobase-openjdk

The platform/architecture type of the package created will match the platform where the build project command is invoked. For example, running this command on a MacBook Pro will generate a Mac OS X package. After the build completes packages will be available in the pkg/ folder.

Clean

You can clean up all temporary files generated during the build process with the clean command:

$ bundle exec omnibus clean aerobase

$ bundle exec omnibus clean aerobase-openjdk

Adding the --purge purge option removes ALL files generated during the build including the project install directory (/opt/aerobase-server) and the package cache directory (/var/cache/omnibus/pkg):

$ bundle exec omnibus clean aerobase-openjdk --purge

Publish

Omnibus has a built-in mechanism for releasing to a variety of "backends", such as Amazon S3. You must set the proper credentials in your omnibus.rb config file or specify them via the command line.

$ bin/omnibus publish path/to/*.deb --backend s3

Help

Full help for the Omnibus command line interface can be accessed with the help command:

$ bin/omnibus help

Kitchen-based Build Environment

Every Omnibus project ships will a project-specific Berksfile that will allow you to build your omnibus projects on all of the projects listed in the .kitchen.yml. You can add/remove additional platforms as needed by changing the list found in the .kitchen.yml platforms YAML stanza.

This build environment is designed to get you up-and-running quickly. However, there is nothing that restricts you to building on other platforms. Simply use the omnibus cookbook to setup your desired platform and execute the build steps listed above.

The default build environment requires Test Kitchen and VirtualBox for local development. Test Kitchen also exposes the ability to provision instances using various cloud providers like AWS, DigitalOcean, or OpenStack. For more information, please see the Test Kitchen documentation.

Once you have tweaked your .kitchen.yml (or .kitchen.local.yml) to your liking, you can bring up an individual build environment using the kitchen command.

$ bin/kitchen converge ubuntu-1204

Then login to the instance and build the project as described in the Usage section:

$ bundle exec kitchen login ubuntu-1204
[vagrant@ubuntu...] $ cd aerobase-server
[vagrant@ubuntu...] $ bundle install
[vagrant@ubuntu...] $ ...
[vagrant@ubuntu...] $ bin/omnibus build aerobase-server

For a complete list of all commands and platforms, run kitchen list or kitchen help.
