Test Verdaccio plugin for build improvements #220

Closed DawoudSheraz closed 1 month ago

DawoudSheraz commented 3 months ago

Announced on https://discuss.openedx.org/t/local-npm-registry-for-mfe-builds/13526, Maksim from Raccoon Gang shared a PoC on using Verdaccio as a npm registry. Tutor-mfe build causes npm cache and other issues consistently. The PoC plugin is an attempt to pave to path for having a dedicated registry meant for npm operations that can be expanded to Tutor officially. In Tutor Users meet on July 29, it was mentioned that Tutor Maintainers will test the plugin out and share their feedback https://openedx.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/COMM/pages/3583016961/Tutor+Users+Group#2024-07-29. This ticket aims to cover that testing. Once tested, the stats will be shared on the discuss link.

I have max-parallelism=2 set for the builds. Here are the stats so far:

Verdaccio enabled, max2cpu buildx config:

Verdaccio disabled, max2cpu config

I have yet to do more builds with verdaccio disabled.

The plugin did not work out of the box. I had to change tutor version constraint and remove network:host from docker-compose to make it work on Mac.

Danyal-Faheem commented 3 months ago

Here are my stats for this testing:

With Max-parallelism = 2:

With Max-parallelism = 1:

Note: I had to remove network mode: host from the docker-compose configuration for Verdaccio to get it working on MacOS.

hinakhadim commented 3 months ago

I also had to remove "network_mode:host" from docker-compose and I was also working on MacOS. Testing on my system results in:

Are you guys quite sure that you were hitting verdaccio in your tests, and not the remote NPM registry? The fact that Verdaccio is slower when its cache is filled is perplexing...

Also, the Verdaccio plugin is definitely not working for me on Linux. I get:

EDIT: I think that the proper command to test optimizations with/without Verdaccio is:

It did not work out of the box. During the build, the MFE container could not connect to Verdaccio container. Once network:host was removed from docker-compose, the connection established successfully. Verdaccio container logs showed whenever the registry was hit.

After the last discussion in Tutor Users Group, it was decided that this should be tested without max-parallelism settings. I tried it a few times but the build would always kill after a while.

Max2cpu disabled, verdaccio enabled

Danyal-Faheem commented 1 month ago

I tried out the verdaccio plugin to build the MFE without max-parallelism and I faced a similar scenario as @DawoudSheraz. The image build process was killed everytime due to network errors.

hinakhadim commented 1 month ago

I also tried out multiple times without max-parallelism and faced errors in the image building process.

@cmltaWt0 FYI.

DawoudSheraz commented 1 month ago

For now, I am closing this issue. There is good enough context on this. In the future, if we want to take another dig at verdaccio testing, we can take this ticket as a base and plan the improvements accordingly.

mbtools commented 1 week ago

Hi Everyone,

I have done quite a bit of maintenance on Verdaccio recently and am curious about your tests. It might reveal areas that could be improved in Verdaccio. Could you share some details, please?

Best, Marc
