AppJail Reproduce is a small open source BSD-3 licensed tool for automating the creation of images using Makejails, scripts and simple text files, providing a common workflow and simplifying many things.

Quick Start

Reproduce is quite simple to use. Just tell it what project to build and it will do the hard work.

appjail-reproduce -b hello

Installation

From ports

Install via sysutils/reproduce port:

pkg install -y reproduce

From source

git clone https://github.com/DtxdF/reproduce.git
cd reproduce
make install

Note about non-root users

If you want to run Reproduce with a non-root user, you must configure AppJail to do so.

Building a Project

Build all projects

appjail-reproduce -b

Build a project

appjail-reproduce -b hello

Build a project with a specific tag

appjail-reproduce -b hello:13.2,14.0

Build a project with a specific architecture

appjail-reproduce -b hello%amd64,i386

Build a project with a specific tag & architecture

appjail-reproduce -b hello%amd64,i386:13.2,14.0

Build projects with a specific tag & architecture

appjail-reproduce -b \
    hello%amd64,i386:13.2,14.0 \
    wordpress-apache%amd64:13.2-php82-apache-6.4.1

Notes

The above examples are demonstrative only, it does not mean that they can be built for a specific architecture or use a specific tag.

Configuration

Create the configuration directory:

mkdir -p ~/.config/appjail-reproduce

Set the parameters described in reproduce-spec(5) in the ~/.config/appjail-reproduce/config.conf file or the one pointed to by the -c flag.

Sample Project

# tree ~/.reproduce/projects/hello
/root/.reproduce/projects/hello
├── Makejail
├── reproduce.conf
└── toremove.lst
1 directory, 3 files
# cat ~/.reproduce/projects/hello/Makejail
INCLUDE gh+AppJail-makejails/hello --file build.makejail
# cat ~/.reproduce/projects/hello/reproduce.conf
tags: 13.2/13.2-RELEASE 14.0/14.0-RELEASE
arch: amd64
# cat ~/.reproduce/projects/hello/toremove.lst
-f var/log/*
-f var/cache/pkg/*
-rf usr/local/etc/pkg
-f var/run/* 2> /dev/null || :

Notes

Before creating an image, Reproduce will remove it, so backup the image if you want to keep it.
All jails explicitly created by Reproduce will be named using a random UUID (version 4) and JAIL_PREFIX. Reproduce will stop and remove the jail when necessary.

Recommendations

Set threads for XZ & ZSTD

/usr/local/etc/appjail/appjail.conf:

TAR_XZ_ARGS="--xz --options xz:threads=0"
TAR_ZSTD_ARGS="--zstd --options zstd:threads=0"

PkgCache

appjail makejail -j pkgcache -f gh+AppJail-makejails/pkgcache \
    -o virtualnet=":<random> default" \
    -o nat
service appjail-health restart

~/.config/appjail-reproduce/config.conf:

BEFORE_MAKEJAILS=/root/reproduce/main.makejail

/root/reproduce/main.makejail:

INCLUDE pkg.makejail

/root/reproduce/pkg.makejail:

CMD mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos
COPY Mirror.conf /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos

/root/reproduce/Mirror.conf:

FreeBSD: {
  url: "http://pkgcache/${ABI}/latest",
  mirror_type: "http",
  signature_type: "fingerprints",
  fingerprints: "/usr/share/keys/pkg",
  enabled: yes
}
