.. _mixer: mixer ##### The |CL-ATTR| team uses **mixer** to generate official update content and releases. The update content generated by mixer is then consumed by swupd on a downstream client. The same mixer tool is available to those who wish to create customized update content and releases. .. contents:: :local: :depth: 1 Description *********** mixer uses the following sources as inputs to generate update content: * Upstream |CL| bundles with their corresponding RPM packages * Locally-defined bundles with their corresponding local RPM packages * Locally-defined bundles with upstream RPM packages * Locally-defined bundles with non-RPM content Using the mixer tool, you select which content from these sources that becomes part of your update. Your selection of sources produces a unique combination of functionality for your custom update content, known as a **mix**. The update content that mixer generates consists of various pieces of OS content, update metadata, as well as a complete image. The OS content includes all files in an update, as well as zero- and delta-packs for improved update performance. The update metadata, stored as manifests, describes all of the bundle information for the update. Update content produced by mixer is then published to a web server and consumed by clients via :command:`swupd`. Refer to :ref:`swupd ` for additional information regarding updates and update content. How it works ************ Learn the mixer tool set up and workflow. .. contents:: :local: :depth: 1 Prerequisites ============= * :command:`mixer` bundle Add the mixer tool by installing the :command:`mixer` bundle. Refer to :ref:`swupd-guide` for more information on installing bundles. * If you're working behind a corporate proxy, configure proxy settings using the :ref:`General proxy settings for many applications ` steps. * Location to host the update content and images In order for :command:`swupd` to make use of your mix, the update content for your mix must be hosted on a web server. Your mix will be configured with an update location URL, which :command:`swupd` will use to pull down updates. Refer to `Set up a nginx web server for mixer`_ for an simple example of setting up an update location. Mix setup ========== Follow these steps to create and initialize the mixer workspace. Complete the setup before you create a mix. #. Create workspace. The mixer tool uses a simple workspace to contain all input and output in a basic directory structure. The workspace is simply an empty folder from which you execute the mixer commands. Each mix uses its own separate workspace. #. Initialize the workspace and mix. Before you create a mix, you must explicitly initialize the mixer workspace. During initialization, the mixer workspace is configured and the base for your mix is defined. By default, your mix is based on the latest upstream version and starts with the minimum set of bundles. Your first custom mix version number starts at 10. Alternatively, you can select other versions or bundle sets from which to start. Initialization creates the directory structure within the workspace and adds the :file:`builder.conf` file, which is used to configure the mixer tool. View the `mixer.init man page`_ for more information on mixer initialization. View the list of suitable `releases`_ from which to mix. #. Edit builder.conf. :file:`builder.conf` tells the mixer tool how to configure the mix. For example, it allows you to configure where mixer output is located and where swupd update content will be located. At minimum, set the URL of your update server so your custom OS knows where to get update content. Refer to the `builder.conf`_ section for more information. Create a mix ============ A mix is created with the following steps: #. Add custom RPMs and set up local repo (optional). If you are adding custom RPMs to your mix, you must add the RPMs to your mix workspace and set up a corresponding local repository. Go to the :ref:`autospec` guide to learn to build RPMs from scratch. If the RPMs are not built on |CL|, make sure your configuration and toolchain builds them correctly for |CL|. Otherwise there is no guarantee they will be compatible. Refer to the :ref:`autospec` guide for more information on using autospec to build RPMs. #. Update and build bundles. Add, edit, or remove bundles that will be part of your content and build them. mixer automatically updates the :file:`mixbundles` file when you update the bundles in your mix. View the `mixer.bundle man page`_ for more information on configuring bundles in a mix. View the `mixer.build man page`_ for more information on building bundles. View the `Bundles`_ section for more information on how mixer manages bundles. #. Create the update content. mixer creates update content with this step. Zero-packs are created automatically, and delta-packs can be optionally created at the same time (for all builds after version 0). A zero-pack is the full set of content needed to go from mix version 0 (nothing) to the mix version for which you just built content. A delta-pack provides the content *delta* between a `PAST_VERSION` to a `MIX_VERSION` that allows the transition from one mix version to another. View :ref:`swupd-guide` for more information on update content. #. Create image. mixer creates a bootable image from your updated content using the `clr-installer`_ tool. In this step you can specify which bundles you want *preinstalled* in the image. Users can later install other bundles available in your mix. #. Make update available. Deploy update content and images to your update server. View the `Example 5: Deploy updates to target`_ for a simple deployment scenario. Maintain or modify mix ====================== Update or modify your content to a new version by following the steps to create a mix. Increment the mix version number for the next mix. Examples ******** The following examples are designed to work together and in order. The examples use: * A stock installation of |CL|. * A web server that comes with |CL| to host the content updates. * A simple VM that updates against the locally produced content created in Example 2. Complete all `Prerequisites`_ before using these examples. Example 1: Mix set up ===================== This example shows the basic steps for the first-time setup of mixer for a new mix. #. Create a directory to use as a workspace for mixer: .. code-block:: bash mkdir ~/mixer #. In your mixer workspace, generate an initial mix based on the latest upstream |CL| version, with minimum bundles. In the initialization output, be aware that your initial mix version is set to 10 and that the minimum bundles have been added. .. code-block:: bash cd ~/mixer mixer init .. note:: If you want to add all upstream bundles in your mix, initialize your mix as shown below. .. code-block:: bash mixer init --all-upstream #. Look up your IP address: .. code-block:: bash networkctl status #. Copy the IP “Address”, from above, for the next step. .. note:: In this example, we put `mixer` and `nginx` on the same system. In a production environment, they would likely reside on different systems. #. Edit :file:`builder.conf`. Paste the IP address from the previous step as the value after \http:// for CONTENTURL and VERSIONURL. For example: .. code-block:: console CONTENTURL="http://192.168.25.52" VERSIONURL="http://192.168.25.52" #. `Set up a nginx web server for mixer`_. Example 2: Create a simple mix ============================== This example shows how to create a simple custom mix using upstream content. We'll create an image for a QEMU virtual machine that we can use later to test our mix. We can use the default bundles that were added during initialization, but these include the :command:`native-kernel` bundle that is intended to be used on a bare metal system instead of a VM. So we will modify the default bundle set to get a smaller kernel image, which will also be faster to load. .. note:: The only bundles available to :command:`swupd` for a given release are those that were added to the mix during build time. A mix doesn’t automatically inherit all upstream bundles. #. Ensure that you have run `mixer init`, shown in Example 1. #. Update bundles in mix: .. code-block:: bash mixer bundle remove kernel-native mixer bundle add kernel-kvm .. note:: The mixer bundle commands operate on the bundle description files but not on the bundle contents. To remove bundle contents and their tracking completely, follow `Example 6: Remove a bundle from client system`_, Advanced. #. In this case, we will add the `editors` bundle from upstream, but we will remove the :command:`joe` editor. .. code-block:: bash mixer bundle add editors mixer bundle edit editors #. Use an editor and manually remove `joe` from the bundle definition. .. code-block:: bash $EDITOR ./local-bundles/editors #. List the bundles in the mix again to confirm removal of :command:`joe`. .. code-block:: bash mixer bundle list --tree #. Build bundles: .. code-block:: bash sudo mixer build bundles #. First, browse to web server from Example 1. The web page appears yet has no update content. Build the update content: .. code-block:: bash sudo mixer build update After that is completed, on your web server, you can see the update content for mix version 10. Example 3: Create an update for your mix ======================================== Next, let’s create a new version of the mix. We’ll add a new bundle. #. Create a new version of your mix, for the live image to update to. Increment your mix version by 10: .. code-block:: bash mixer versions update #. Add the upstream :command:`curl` bundle to version 20 of the mix: .. code-block:: bash mixer bundle add curl #. Build your next mix version that incorporates the new bundle. .. code-block:: bash sudo mixer build bundles sudo mixer build update #. Optionally, you can build delta-packs, which help reduce client update time: .. code-block:: bash sudo mixer build delta-packs --from 10 --to 20 Refresh your web server to see the update content for mix version 20. You can also look in ~/mixer/update/www/ to see the update content in your workspace. Example 4: Build an image ========================= This example shows how to build a bootable image containing the :command:`kernel-kvm`, :command:`os-core`, and the :command:`os-core-update` bundles from `Example 2: Create a simple mix`_. Complete that example before starting this one. Underneath, mixer uses `clr-installer`_ to generate the image. #. Change directory into your mix. #. Configure image. Create a YAML configuration file to specify aspects of your image such as image name, target media, bundles, etc. See `Installer YAML Syntax`_ for more information on clr-installer configuration YAML syntax. For this example, we will download a sample YAML and modify it. .. code-block:: bash curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/clearlinux/clr-installer/master/scripts/kvm.yaml Make the following revisions to :file:`kvm.yaml`: * Reduce overall image size and root partition size by 5GB. * Remove these bundles from the image: ``editors``, ``network-basic``, ``openssh-server``, ``sysadmin-basic`` * Add ``version: 10`` to tell :command:`mixer` to generate an image based on mix version 10 .. note:: When creating an image, it is not necessary to include all of the bundles that are in your entire mix. Once you have a working image, you can use :command:`swupd` to add them as needed. Your :file:`kvm.yaml` should look like below: .. code-block:: console :linenos: :emphasize-lines: 11,26,29-33,44 #clear-linux-config # switch between aliases if you want to install to an actuall block device # i.e /dev/sda block-devices: [ {name: "bdevice", file: "kvm.img"} ] targetMedia: - name: ${bdevice} size: "3.54G" type: disk children: - name: ${bdevice}1 fstype: vfat mountpoint: /boot size: "512M" type: part - name: ${bdevice}2 fstype: swap size: "32M" type: part - name: ${bdevice}3 fstype: ext4 mountpoint: / size: "3G" type: part bundles: [ bootloader, os-core, os-core-update, ] autoUpdate: false postArchive: false postReboot: false telemetry: false keyboard: us language: en_US.UTF-8 kernel: kernel-kvm version: 10 #. Build the image. .. code-block:: bash sudo mixer build image --template $PWD/kvm.yaml The output from this step will be :file:`kvm.img`, which is a live image. Example 5: Deploy updates to target =================================== The image created in Example 4 is directly bootable in QEMU. In this example, we'll boot the image and verify it. Then we'll update the image from mix version 10 to mix version 20. #. Set up the QEMU environment. Install the :command:`kvm-host` bundle to your |CL|: .. code-block:: bash sudo swupd bundle-add kvm-host #. Get the virtual EFI firmware, download the image launch script, and make it executable: .. code-block:: bash curl -O https://download.clearlinux.org/image/OVMF.fd curl -O https://download.clearlinux.org/image/start_qemu.sh chmod +x start_qemu.sh #. Start your VM image (created in Example 4): .. code-block:: bash sudo ./start_qemu.sh kvm.img #. Log in as root and set a password. #. By default, the :command:`swupd` client is designed to communicate with an HTTPS server. For development purposes, the swupd client can talk to an HTTP server if you add the flag ``allow-insecure-http``. To avoid adding a flag each time when invoking :command:`swupd`, enter: .. code-block:: bash mkdir -p /etc/swupd cat > /etc/swupd/config << EOF [GLOBAL] allow_insecure_http=true EOF #. Try out your mix. a. Show the version and update URLs .. code-block:: bash swupd info #. List the bundles installed in your mix: .. code-block:: bash swupd bundle-list #. List available bundles on your update server. .. code-block:: bash swupd bundle-list -a #. Now we will add the :command:`editors` bundle that we modified. .. code-block:: bash swupd bundle-add editors #. Try to start the :command:`joe` editor. .. code-block:: bash joe It should not work because we removed it from the original :command:`editors` bundle. #. Next we will update from version 10 to 20 to capture the newly-available bundles. .. code-block:: bash swupd check-update swupd update swupd bundle-list -a #. Now your mix should be at version 20 and :command:`curl` is available. Try using :command:`curl`. This will fail because it is not yet installed. .. code-block:: console curl: command not found To install curl use: swupd bundle-add curl #. Add the new bundle from your update server to your VM. Retry :command:`curl`. It works! .. code-block:: bash swupd bundle-add curl curl -O https://download.clearlinux.org/image/start_qemu.sh #. Shutdown your VM: .. code-block:: bash poweroff Example 6: Remove a bundle from client system ============================================= Removing a bundle in a future release requires more steps than deleting the bundle description file, as shown in Example 2. After a bundle is built in the mix, you must assure all of the files that are part of the bundle are removed from the client where that bundle is installed. To do this, create a version of this bundle in which all of its content is marked for deletion. In the following example, we show how to remove the contents of the `editors` bundle that we added to our mix in Example 2. #. First update your mix version. This will set the mix to the next version. .. code-block:: bash mixer versions update .. note:: Run this command every time that you want to build a new version. #. Navigate to local-bundles: .. code-block:: bash cd local-bundles #. Open the `editors` bundle with an editor and delete **all lines** that follow after the `[MAINTAINERS]` line. #. Afterward, it should look like this: .. code-block:: console # [TITLE]: editors # [DESCRIPTION]: Run popular terminal text editors. # [STATUS]: Active # [CAPABILITIES]: # [TAGS]: Tools and Utilities, Editor # [MAINTAINER]: Developer #. Save and exit. #. Next, run a build to capture recently edited bundles and update your mix. .. code-block:: bash sudo mixer build all .. note:: :command:`mixer build all` runs both :command:`mixer build bundles` and :command:`mixer build update` in one step. At this point the new mix, version 30, is complete. All the content of the editors bundles is marked as deleted. If any clients of this mix upgraded to mix build version 30, the content of the editors bundle would be removed. Note that the bundle still exists and is being tracked by :command:`swupd`, but it contains no files. Example 7: Execute a format bump ================================ As a maintainer of your mix, you must execute a format bump if you wish to: * Track upstream’s format bump on your downstream derivative * Delete any custom bundles that were added Follow the appropriate use case below depending on your needs. Basic ----- If you maintain your own downstream derivative and you want to track upstream, you need to do a format bump when one occurs on upstream. This method helps you track the latest changes on upstream; however, it does not change any local content that was added or deleted. For example, if you deprecated bundles, this method will **not remove the bundle tracking**. Refer to `Advanced`_ for help on managing your local mix and removing bundle tracking. In this example, we show a mix version that was initialized to upstream version 29740 (format 27). You need to update your mix to upstream version 30700 (format 28). To do so, you will go through a format bump. #. Change to your mix location and verify the current version of the mix and its format. .. code-block:: bash mixer versions #. Update to upstream version, which has a newer format. .. code-block:: bash mixer versions update --upstream-version 30700 The output will look like this: .. code-block:: console Old mix: 10 Old upstream: 29740 (format: 27) New mix: 20 New upstream: 30700 (format: 28) [...] Read the output carefully: * The Old mix shows the current version (10) of your mix. * The Old upstream shows the version and format (27) on which it’s based. * The New mix shows the new version (20) of your mix. * The New upstream shows the version and format (28) on which it’s based. #. Given that the format in the output differs, you need to run a format bump: .. code-block:: bash sudo mixer build upstream-format --new-format 28 .. note:: You specify the :command:`--new-format` to indicate the format (28) to which you transition. #. Your mix is now synchronized with the new format (28); however, you must still advance to the desired or latest version. .. code-block:: bash mixer versions update --upstream-version 30700 Advanced -------- To properly remove a bundle from being tracked by :command:`swupd`, do a manual format bump. This process can also be used to perform customizations during the update, such as: * Adjustment in the command parameters * Change the content of the chroot Follow the `afb.sh reference script`_ to learn how to do a manual format bump. The `afb.sh reference script`_ shows an example of how to: * Create a mix * Add a bundle * Deprecate a bundle * Do a format bump to remove the deprecated bundle References ********** Reference the `mixer man page`_ for details regarding mixer commands and options. .. contents:: :local: :depth: 1 .. rst-class:: content-collapse builder.conf ============ mixer initialization creates a :file:`builder.conf` that stores the basic configuration for the mixer tool. The items of primary interest are CONTENTURL and VERSIONURL, which will be used by systems updating against your custom content. .. code-block:: console #builder.conf #VERSION 1.2 [Builder] CERT = "/home/clr/mix/Swupd_Root.pem" SERVER_STATE_DIR = "/home/clr/mix/update" VERSIONS_PATH = "/home/clr/mix" YUM_CONF = "/home/clr/mix/.yum-mix.conf" [Swupd] BUNDLE = "os-core-update" CONTENTURL = "" VERSIONURL = "" COMPRESSION = ["external-xz"] UPSTREAM_BUNDLES_URL = "https://github.com/clearlinux/clr-bundles/archive/" [Server] DEBUG_INFO_BANNED = "true" DEBUG_INFO_LIB = "/usr/lib/debug" DEBUG_INFO_SRC = "/usr/src/debug" [Mixer] LOCAL_BUNDLE_DIR = "/home/clr/mix/local-bundles" LOCAL_REPO_DIR = "/home/clr/mix/local-yum" LOCAL_RPM_DIR = "/home/clr/mix/local-rpms" OS_RELEASE_PATH = "" Additional explanation of variables in :file:`builder.conf` is provided in Table 1. .. list-table:: **Table 1**: Variables in builder.conf :widths: 50, 50 :header-rows: 1 * - **Variable** - **Description** * - `CERT` - Sets the path where mixer stores the certificate file used to sign content for verification. mixer automatically generates the certificate if you do not provide the path to an existing one, and signs the :file:`Manifest.MoM` file to provide security for the updated content you create. chroot-builder uses the certificate file to sign the root :file:` Manifest.MoM` file to provide security for content verification. swupd uses this certificate to verify the :file:`Manifest.MoM` file's signature. For now, we strongly recommend that you do not modify this variable, as swupd expects a certificate with a very specific configuration to sign and verify properly. * - `CONTENTURL` and `VERSIONURL` - Set these variables to the IP address of the web server hosting the update content. VERSIONURL is the IP address where the swupd client looks to determine if a new version is available. CONTENTURL is the location from which swupd pulls content updates. If the web server is on the same machine as the SERVER_STATE_DIR directory, you can create a symlink to the directory in your web server's document root to easily host the content. These URLs are embedded in the images created by mixer. * - `LOCAL_BUNDLE_DIR` - Sets the path where mixer stores the local bundle definition files. The bundle definition files include any new, original bundles you create, along with any edited versions of upstream bundles. * - `SERVER_STATE_DIR` - Sets the path to which mixer outputs content. By default, mixer automatically sets the path. * - `VERSIONS_PATH` - Sets the path for the mix version and upstream version's two state files: :file:`mixversion` and :file:`upstreamversion`. mixer creates both files for you when you set up the workspace. * - `YUM_CONF` - Sets the path where mixer automatically generates the :file:`.yum-mix.conf` file. The yum configuration file points the chroot-builder to where the RPMs are stored. +-------------------------------+----------------------------------------------------------+ | **Variable** | **Explanation** | +-------------------------------+----------------------------------------------------------+ | `CERT` | Sets the path where mixer stores the certificate file | | | used to sign content for verification. mixer | | | automatically generates the certificate if you do not | | | provide the path to an existing one, and signs the | | | :file:`Manifest.MoM` file to provide security for the | | | updated content you create. | | | | | | chroot-builder uses the certificate file to sign | | | the root :file:`Manifest.MoM` file to provide | | | security for content verification. | | | | | | swupd uses this certificate to verify the | | | :file:`Manifest.MoM` file's signature. | | | | | | For now, we strongly recommend that you do not modify | | | this variable, as swupd expects a certificate with a | | | very specific configuration to sign and verify | | | properly. | +-------------------------------+----------------------------------------------------------+ | `CONTENTURL` and `VERSIONURL` | Set these variables to the IP address of the web server | | | hosting the update content. | | | | | | VERSIONURL is the IP address where the swupd client | | | looks to determine if a new version is available. | | | | | | CONTENTURL is the location from which swupd pulls | | | content updates. | | | | | | If the web server is on the same machine as the | | | SERVER_STATE_DIR directory, you can create a symlink to | | | the directory in your web server's document root to | | | easily host the content. | | | | | | These URLs are embedded in the images created by mixer. | +-------------------------------+----------------------------------------------------------+ | `LOCAL_BUNDLE_DIR` | Sets the path where mixer stores the local bundle | | | definition files.

Versions of an OS within an epoch are fully compatible and can update to any other version within that epoch. The compatibility epoch is set as the `Format` variable in the :file:`mixer.state` file. Variables in the :file:`mixer.state` are used by mixer between executions and should not be manually changed. Format bump ----------- Mixer needs to produce content that is consumable by swupd. For swupd to consume the content, it needs a consistent protocol that describes the requirements of the Manifest. If the `Format` increments to a new epoch (a "format bump"), the underlying `swupd` protocol has changed such that updating from one build version in an old format to a new build version in a new format is **only** allowed if one performs a corresponding format bump. Format bumps are “checkpoints” (see Figure 1). The first release (20) is built on the previous format with a `swupd` that is capable of interpreting the next format. The second release (30) has the same content, but it’s built in the new format. Suppose you have build version 10, but you need the tools in build version 40. Whereas version 10 belongs to Format 27, version 40 belongs to Format 28. The swupd client needs to follow formats sequentially. First, you must update to version 20, which effectively enables a format bump to version 30. Doing a format bump bridges the gap so your mix can progress to build version 40. .. figure:: ../../_figures/mixer/format-bump.png :alt: Format bump Figure 1: Format bump .. note:: if you update to build 20 and then check which format of the distro is used, the new build version will show 30, and the new format will show 28. .. rst-class:: content-collapse Bundles ======= mixer stores information about the bundles included in a mix in a flat file called :file:`mixbundles`, which is located in the path set by the VERSIONS_PATH variable in :file:`builder.conf`. :file:`mixbundles` is automatically created when the mix is initiated. mixer will refresh the file each time you change the bundles in the mix. Bundles belong in one of two categories: upstream or local. Upstream bundles are those provided by |CL|. Local bundles are either modified upstream bundles or new local bundles. Upstream bundles ---------------- mixer automatically downloads and caches upstream bundle definition files. These definition files are stored in the upstream-bundles directory in the workspace. Do not modify the files in this directory. This directory is simply a mirror for mixer to use. mixer will automatically delete the contents of this directory before repopulating it on-the-fly if a new version must be downloaded. The mixer tool automatically caches the bundles for the |CL| version configured in the :file:`upstreamversion` file. :command:`mixer` also cleans up old versions once they are no longer needed. Local bundles ------------- Local bundles are bundles that you create, or are edited versions of upstream bundles. Local bundle definition files are stored in the local-bundles directory in the workspace. The LOCAL_BUNDLE_DIR variable sets the path of this directory in the :file:`builder.conf` file. *mixer always checks for local bundles first and the upstream bundles second.* So bundles in the local-bundles directory will always take precedence over any upstream bundles that have the same name. This precedence enables you to copy upstream bundles locally, and edit into a local variation. Bundle definition files ----------------------- A ``bundle definition`` file consists of a header, followed by a list of packages and directives. The header holds important meta-data, like the TITLE, DESCRIPTION, and STATUS. Other meta-data include TAGS, which define a bundle's function in the ecosystem, and MAINTAINER, which gives contact information. Following the header are the directives, shown in Table 2. .. list-table:: **Table 2**: Bundle directives :widths: 50,50 :header-rows: 1 * - **Directive** - **Description** * - ``include()`` - Add with this bundle * - ``also-add()`` - Add unless the option ``--skip-optional`` is used with ``swupd bundle-add``. * - ``content()`` - Add the non-packaged content to the bundle. Refer to :ref:`swupd-3rd-party` for usage of this directive. Following is `cluster-tools`, an upstream bundle definition file. The directives are highlighted, and the rest are packages. .. code-block:: bash :emphasize-lines: 8-12 [TITLE]: cluster-tools [DESCRIPTION]: Utilities to manage computer clusters [STATUS]: Active [CAPABILITIES]: HPC [TAGS]: Tools and Utilities [MAINTAINER]: Juro Bystricky include(curl) include(libglib) include(libX11client) also-add(openmpi) also-add(modules) munge pmix pdsh slurm Bundle configuration -------------------- mixer provides commands to configure the bundles for a mix, such as to add a bundle to a mix, to create a new bundle for a mix, or to remove a bundle from a mix. View the `mixer.bundle man page`_ for a full list of commands and more information on configuring bundles in a mix. Editing an existing local bundle is as simple as opening the bundle definition file in your favorite editor, making the desired edits, and saving your changes. .. note:: Removing bundles from a mix: By default, removing a bundle will only remove the bundle from the mix. The local bundle definition file will still remain. To completely remove a bundle, including its local bundle definition file, use the :command:`--local` flag. If you remove the bundle definition file for a local, edited version of an upstream bundle in a mix, the mix reverts to reference the original upstream version of the bundle. .. rst-class:: content-collapse .. _set-up-nginx-web-server-start: Set up a nginx web server for mixer =================================== A web server is needed to host your update content. In this example, the nginx web server is used. #. Install the :command:`nginx` bundle. .. code-block:: bash sudo swupd bundle-add nginx #. Create a symbolic link to the mixer update content directory. .. code-block:: bash sudo mkdir -p /var/www sudo ln -sf $HOME/mixer/update/www /var/www/mixer #.

Configure the mixer update server. .. code-block:: bash sudo tee -a /etc/nginx/conf.d/mixer-server.conf << EOF server { server_name localhost; location / { root /var/www/mixer; autoindex on; } } EOF #. Restart the daemon, enable nginx on boot, and start the service. .. code-block:: bash sudo systemctl daemon-reload sudo systemctl enable nginx --now #. Verify the web server is running at \http://. If there's no mix content yet, the expected response from nginx will be a ``404 Not Found``. .. _set-up-nginx-web-server-end: Related topics ************** * :ref:`autospec` * :ref:`bundles-guide` * :ref:`swupd-guide` * :ref:`swupd-3rd-party` .. _mixer man page: https://github.com/clearlinux/mixer-tools/blob/master/docs/mixer.1.rst .. _mixer.init man page: https://github.com/clearlinux/mixer-tools/blob/master/docs/mixer.init.1.rst .. _mixer.bundle man page: https://github.com/clearlinux/mixer-tools/blob/master/docs/mixer.bundle.1.rst .. _mixer.build man page: https://github.com/clearlinux/mixer-tools/blob/master/docs/mixer.build.1.rst .. _releases: https://github.com/clearlinux/clr-bundles/releases .. _afb.sh reference script: https://github.com/clearlinux/mixer-tools/blob/master/afb.sh .. _clr-installer: https://github.com/clearlinux/clr-installer .. _Installer YAML Syntax: https://github.com/clearlinux/clr-installer/blob/master/scripts/InstallerYAMLSyntax.md
