# Docker images for CI

This folder contains a bunch of docker images used by the continuous integration
(CI) of Rust. An script is accompanied (`run.sh`) with these images to actually
execute them. To test out an image execute:

```
./src/ci/docker/run.sh $image_name
```

for example:

```
./src/ci/docker/run.sh x86_64-gnu
```

Images will output artifacts in an `obj` dir at the root of a repository.

To match conditions in rusts CI, also set the environment variable `DEPLOY=1`, e.g.:
```
DEPLOY=1 ./src/ci/docker/run.sh x86_64-gnu
```

**NOTE**: Re-using the same `obj` dir with different docker images with
the same target triple (e.g. `dist-x86_64-linux` and `dist-various-1`)
may result in strange linker errors, due shared library versions differing between platforms.

If you encounter any issues when using multiple Docker images, try deleting your `obj` directory
before running your command.

## Filesystem layout

- Each host architecture has its own `host-{arch}` directory, and those
  directories contain a subdirectory for each Docker image (plus the `disabled`
  subdirectory).
- `host-{arch}/disabled` contains images that are not built on CI.
- `scripts` contains files shared by multiple Docker images.

## Docker Toolbox on Windows

For Windows before Windows 10, the docker images can be run on Windows via
[Docker Toolbox]. There are several preparation needs to be made before running
a Docker image.

1. Stop the virtual machine from the terminal with `docker-machine stop`

2. If your Rust source is placed outside of `C:\Users\**`, e.g. if you place the
    repository in the `E:\rust` folder, please add a shared folder from
    VirtualBox by:

    1. Select the "default" virtual machine inside VirtualBox, then click
        "Settings"
    2. Go to "Shared Folders", click "Add shared folder" (the folder icon with
        a plus sign), fill in the following information, then click "OK":

        * Folder path: `E:\rust`
        * Folder name: `e/rust`
        * Read-only: ☐ *unchecked*
        * Auto-mount: ☑ *checked*
        * Make Permanent: ☑ *checked*

3. VirtualBox might not support creating symbolic links inside a shared folder
    by default. You can enable it manually by running these from `cmd.exe`:

    ```bat
    cd "C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox"
    VBoxManage setextradata default VBoxInternal2/SharedFoldersEnableSymlinksCreate/e/rust 1
    ::                                                                              ^~~~~~
    ::                                                                              folder name
    ```

4. Restart the virtual machine from terminal with `docker-machine start`.

To run the image,

1. Launch the "Docker Quickstart Terminal".
2. Execute `./src/ci/docker/run.sh $image_name` as explained at the beginning.

## Cross toolchains

A number of these images take quite a long time to compile as they're building
whole gcc toolchains to do cross builds with. Much of this is relatively
self-explanatory but some images use [crosstool-ng] which isn't quite as self
explanatory. Below is a description of where these `*.config` files come form,
how to generate them, and how the existing ones were generated.

[crosstool-ng]: https://github.com/crosstool-ng/crosstool-ng

### Generating a `.config` file

**NOTE:** Existing Dockerfiles can also be a good guide for the process and order
of script execution.

If you have a `linux-cross` image lying around you can use that and skip the
next two steps.

- First we spin up a container and copy all scripts into it. All
  these steps are outside the container:

```
# Note: We use ubuntu:16.04 because that's the "base" of linux-cross Docker
# image, or simply run ./src/ci/docker/run.sh once, which will download the correct
# one and you can check it out with `docker images`
$ docker run -it ubuntu:16.04 bash
# in another terminal:
$ docker ps
CONTAINER ID        IMAGE               COMMAND             CREATED             STATUS              PORTS               NAMES
cfbec05ed730        ubuntu:16.04        "bash"              16 seconds ago      Up 15 seconds                           drunk_murdock
$ docker cp src/ci/docker/scripts drunk_murdock:/tmp/
```

- Then inside the container we build crosstool-ng by simply calling the bash
  script we copied in the previous step:

```
$ cd /tmp/scripts
# Download packages necessary for building
$ bash ./cross-apt-packages.sh
# Download and build crosstool-ng
$ bash ./crosstool-ng.sh
```

- In case you want to adjust or start from an existing config, copy that
  to the container. `crosstool-ng` will automatically load `./.config` if
  present. Otherwise one can use the TUI to load any config-file.

```
$ docker cp arm-linux-gnueabi.config drunk_murdock:/tmp/.config
```

- Now, inside the container run the following command to configure the
  toolchain. To get a clue of which options need to be changed check the next
  section and come back.

```
$ cd /tmp/
$ ct-ng menuconfig
```

- Finally, we retrieve the `.config` file from the container and give it a
  meaningful name. This is done outside the container.

```
$ docker cp drunk_murdock:/tmp/.config arm-linux-gnueabi.config
```

- Now you can shutdown the container or repeat the two last steps to generate a
  new `.config` file.

### Toolchain configuration

Changes on top of the default toolchain configuration used to generate the
`.config` files in this directory. The changes are formatted as follows:

```
$category > $option = $value -- $comment
```
