docker_tools.py - Tools for building and using the Runestone Servers in Docker

This script provides a set of Docker-related command-line tools. Run docker-tools --help for details.

Design goals

• Bootstrap (the init command): this script is designed to be downloaded then executed as a single file. In this case, bootstrap code downloads dependencies, the repo it belongs in, etc. This makes it easy to create a development or production environment from a fresh install of the host OS.

• Multiple modes (the build command): this script builds two distinctly different containers.

  • Single-container: these commands creates a container designed to execute on a single server. The Dockerized applications associated with it include Jobe, Redis, and Postgres. A volume is used to persist data, such as updates to the server.

    • Production mode (the default): docker-tools build --single creates a container designed for production (which includes obtaining an HTTPS certificate).

    • Development mode: docker-tools build --single-dev creates a container supporting a development mode, which provides additional tools and installs the BookServer and Runestone Components from github, instead of from releases on PyPI.

  • Multi-container: docker-tools build --multi creates a container designed for cluster operation, when many instances of this container accept requests passed on by a load balancer. In this mode, no volumes are mounted; HTTPS certificates cannot be requested, since this is the responsibility of the load balancer.

• Flexible: the build process supports a number of options to customize the build. Writing in Python provides the ability to support this complexity.

• Minimal: this tool only contains functions specifically related to Docker. Tools which apply more generally reside in rsmanage - command-line tools for managing the Runestone server.

• No loops: unlike earlier approaches, this script doesn’t cause the container to restart if something goes wrong. Instead, it catches all errors in a try/except block then stops executing so you can see what happened.

• venv: all Python installs are placed in a virtual environment managed by Poetry.

Build approach

To build a container, this script walks through three steps:

1. The first step occurs when this script is invoked from the terminal/command line, outside Docker. It does some preparation, then invokes the Docker build.

2. Next, Docker invokes this script from the Dockerfile - create a container hosting the Runestone servers. This script installs everything it can.

3. Finally, Docker invokes this when the container is run. On the first run, this script completes container configuration, then runs the servers. After that, it only runs the servers, since the first-run configuration step is time-consuming.

Since some files are built into the container in step 1 or run only once in step 2, simply editing a file in this repo may not update the file inside the container. Look through the source here to see which files this applies to.

Imports and bootstrap

These are listed in the order prescribed by PEP 8, with exceptions noted below.

There’s a fair amount of bootstrap code here to download and install required imports and their dependencies.

Standard library

import datetime
from enum import auto, Enum
import os
from pathlib import Path
import platform
import re
import subprocess
import sys
from time import sleep
from traceback import print_exc
from typing import Dict, Tuple
from textwrap import dedent
 

Local application bootstrap

Everything after this depends on Unix utilities. We can’t use is_win because we don’t know if ci_utils is available.

if sys.platform == "win32":
    sys.exit("ERROR: You must run this program in WSL/VirtualBox/VMWare/etc.")
 

Globals

True if we’re root.

IS_ROOT = (
    subprocess.run(
        ["id", "-u"], capture_output=True, text=True, check=True
    ).stdout.strip()
    == "0"
)
 

True if this script is running in a Python virtual environment.

IN_VENV = sys.prefix != sys.base_prefix
 

The working directory of this script.

wd = Path(__file__).resolve().parent
 

True if this script is executing from the Runestone repository; otherwise, we assume only this script was downloaded as a part of the bootstrap process.

IN_REPO = (wd / "nginx").is_dir()
 
 

Supporting functions

Check to see if a program is installed; if not, install it.

def check_install(

The command to run to check if the program is installed.

    check_cmd: str,

The name of the package containing this program.

    install_package: str,
) -> None:
    print(f"Checking for '{check_cmd}'...")
    try:
        subprocess.run(check_cmd, check=True, shell=True)
    except (subprocess.CalledProcessError, FileNotFoundError):
        print("Not found. Installing...")
        subprocess.run(

Only run with sudo if we’re not root.

            ([] if IS_ROOT else ["sudo"])
            + [
                "apt",
                "install",
                "-y",
                "--no-install-recommends",
                install_package,
            ],
            check=True,
        )
    else:
        print("Found.")
 
 

We need curl for some (possibly missing) imports – make sure it’s installed.

def check_install_curl() -> None:
    check_install("curl --version", "curl")
 
 

Outside a venv, install locally.

def pip_user() -> str:
    return "" if IN_VENV else "--user"
 
 

Bootstrap ci_utils

Bootstrap check: if we’re not in the repo, do some tidying.

if not IN_REPO:
    print("Creating directory rsdocker/ to store all Runestone files.")
    wd = wd / "rsdocker"
    wd.mkdir(exist_ok=True)
    os.chdir(wd)

Add this directory – which is where the ci_utils will be downloaded – to the path; otherwise, ci_utils won’t be found.

    sys.path.append(str(wd))


sys.path.append(str(wd / "../tests"))
try:

This unused import triggers the script download if it’s not present. This only happens outside the container.

    import ci_utils  # noqa: F401
except ImportError:
    assert not os.environ.get("IN_DOCKER")
    check_install_curl()
    print("Downloading supporting script ci_utils.py...")
    subprocess.run(
        [
            "curl",
            "-fLO",
            "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RunestoneInteractive/RunestoneServer/master/tests/ci_utils.py",
        ],
        check=True,
    )
from ci_utils import chdir, env, is_darwin, is_linux, pushd, xqt  # noqa: E402
 

Third-party bootstrap

This comes after importing ci_utils, since we use that to install click if necessary.

try:
    import click
except ImportError:
    import site
    from importlib import reload
 

Ensure pip is installed before using it.

    check_install(f"{sys.executable} -m pip --version", "python3-pip")

    print("Installing Python dependencies...")

Outside a venv, install locally.

    user = " " if IN_VENV else "--user "
    xqt(
        f"{sys.executable} -m pip install {pip_user()} --upgrade pip",
        f"{sys.executable} -m pip install {pip_user()} --upgrade click",
    )

If pip is upgraded, it won’t find click. Re-load sys.path to fix this.

    reload(site)
    import click
 
 

Local application

When bootstrapping, this import fails. This is fine, since these commands require a working container before they’re usable.

try:
    from docker_tools_misc import (
        add_commands,
        get_ready_file,
        in_docker,
        SERVER_START_FAILURE_MESSAGE,
        SERVER_START_SUCCESS_MESSAGE,
        _start_servers,
    )
except ImportError:
    print("Note: this must be an initial install; additional commands missing.")
 
 

Global variables

Update the following versions regularly.

CHROMEDRIVER_VERSION = "103.0.5060.53"
WEB2PY_VERSION = "2.21.1"
XC16_VERSION = "xc16-v1.70-full-install-linux64-installer.run"
MPLABX_VERSION = "MPLABX-v6.00-linux-installer.tar"

These are sometimes not the same base name (depends on the MPLABX release).

MPLABX_SH_NAME = "MPLABX-v6.00-linux-installer.sh"
 
 

CLI

Create a series of subcommands for this CLI.

@click.group()
def cli() -> None:
    pass
 
 

Add the subcommands defined in docker_tools_misc.py - Misc CLI tools for Docker, if it’s available.

try:
    add_commands(cli)
except NameError:
    pass
 
 

init command

@cli.command()
@click.option(
    "--clone-rs",
    default="RunestoneInteractive",
    nargs=1,
    metavar="<USERNAME>",
    help="Clone RunestoneServer repo with USERNAME",
)
def init(
    clone_rs: str,
) -> None:

Install prereqs needed for all other commands available in this tool.

Did we add the current user to a group?

    did_group_add = False
 

True if running a Docker container requires use of sudo.

    docker_sudo = False
 

Ensure Docker is installed.

    try:
        xqt("docker --version")
    except subprocess.CalledProcessError as e:
        print(f"Unable to run docker: {e}")

Ensure the Docker Desktop is running if we’re running in WSL or OS X. On Windows, the docker command doesn’t exist when the Docker Desktop isn’t running.

        if (is_linux and "WSL" in Path("/proc/version").read_text()) or is_darwin:
            sys.exit(
                "ERROR: Docker Desktop not detected. You must install and run this\n"
                "before proceeding."
            )

        check_install_curl()
        print("Installing Docker...")

Use the convenience script.

        xqt(
            "curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com -o get-docker.sh",
            "sudo sh ./get-docker.sh",
            "rm get-docker.sh",
        )
 

Linux only: Ensure the user is in the docker group. This follows the Docker docs. Put this step here, instead of after the Docker install, for people who manually installed Docker but skipped this step.

    if is_linux:
        print("Checking to see if the current user is in the docker group...")
        if "docker" not in xqt("groups", capture_output=True, text=True).stdout:

Per the Docker docs, enable running Docker as a non-root user.

Ignore errors if the groupadd fails; the group may already exist.

            xqt("sudo groupadd docker", check=False)
            xqt("sudo usermod -a -G docker $USER")
 

Until group privileges to take effect, use sudo to run Docker.

            docker_sudo = True

The group add doesn’t take effect until the user logs out then back in. Work around it for now.

            did_group_add = True
 

Ensure the Docker Desktop is running if this is OS X. On OS X, the docker command exists, but can’t run the hello, world script. It also serves as a sanity check for the other platforms.

    print("Checking that Docker works...")
    try:
        xqt(f"{'sudo' if docker_sudo else ''} docker run hello-world")
    except subprocess.CalledProcessError as e:
        sys.exit(
            f"ERROR: Unable to execute docker run hello-world: {e}"
            + (
                (
                    "\n"
                    "Docker Desktop not detected or not working. You must install and run\n"
                    "this before proceeding."
                )
                if is_darwin
                else ""
            )
        )
 

Make sure git’s installed.

    try:
        xqt("git --version")
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"Unable to run git: {e} Installing...")
        xqt("sudo apt install -y --no-install-recommends git")

Are we inside the Runestone repo?

    if not IN_REPO:
        change_dir = True

No, we must be running from a downloaded script. Clone the runestone repo.

        print("Didn't find the runestone repo. Cloning...")
        try:

Check if possible to clone RunestoneServer with Custom Repo

            xqt(
                f"export GIT_TERMINAL_PROMPT=0 && git clone https://github.com/{clone_rs}/RunestoneServer.git"
            )
        except subprocess.CalledProcessError:

Exit script with Git Clone Error

            sys.exit(
                f"ERROR: Unable to clone RunestoneServer remote repository via User - {clone_rs}"
            )
        chdir("RunestoneServer")
    else:

Make sure we’re in the root directory of the web2py repo.

        chdir(wd.parent)
        change_dir = False
 

Ensure the user is in the www-data group.

    print("Checking to see if the current user is in the www-data group...")
    if "www-data" not in xqt("groups", capture_output=True, text=True).stdout:
        if is_darwin:
            xqt(
                "sudo dscl . create /Groups/www-data",
                "sudo dscl . create /Groups/www-data gid 799",
                "sudo dseditgroup -o edit -a $USER -t user www-data",
                "sudo dscl . append /Groups/www-data GroupMembership $USER",
            )
        else:
            xqt("sudo usermod -a -G www-data $USER")
        did_group_add = True
 

Provide server-related CLIs. While installing this sooner would be great, we can’t assume that the prereqs (the downloaded repo) are available.

    check_install(f"{sys.executable} -m pip --version", "python3-pip")
    xqt(

Note: Sometimes, OS X installs these into a place that’s not in the default $PATH, making the scripts docker-tools and rsmanage not work unless the user manually adds the path. Add the --verbose flag to the install commands below to see where the scripts are placed on OS X.

Phase 1: install Runestone dependencies

This is run inside the Docker build, from the Dockerfile - create a container hosting the Runestone servers.

    build_config: bool,
    arm: bool,
    pic24: bool,

        "apt update",
    )
    apt_install = "eatmydata apt install -y --no-install-recommends"

This uses apt; run it after apt is set up.

Add in Chrome repo. Copied from https://tecadmin.net/setup-selenium-with-chromedriver-on-debian/. Unless we are on an ARM64 processor, then we will fall back to using chromium.

For jobe’s runguard.

TODO: What is this for?

        "libfreetype6-dev "

Required for postgres.

        "postgresql-client-13 "

        "libpq-dev libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev "
        "certbot python3-certbot-nginx "
        "rsync wget nginx "

For use with runguard – must call setfacl.

        "acl "

Useful tools for debug.

        "nano less ",
    )
 

Build runguard and set up Jobe users. Needed by BookServer’s internal/scheduled_builder.py`.

Tests use html5validator, which requires the JDK.

            f"{apt_install} openjdk-11-jre-headless git xvfb x11-utils {browser} lsof emacs-nox",

Install Chromedriver. Based on https://tecadmin.net/setup-selenium-with-chromedriver-on-debian/.

            f"wget --no-verbose https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/{CHROMEDRIVER_VERSION}/chromedriver_linux64.zip",

            "chmod +x /usr/bin/chromedriver",

Provide VNC access. TODO: just pass the correct DISPLAY value and ports and use X11 locally, but how? Here’s the best info I’ve found. Notes on my failures:

• Including network_mode: host in docker-compose.yml - Configure containerized Docker application works. However, this breaks everything else (port mapping, links, etc.). It suggests that the correct networking setup would make this work.

• Passing volume: - /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix has no effect (on a Ubuntu 20.03.4 LTS host). Per the previous point, it seems that X11 is using TCP as its transport.

• Mapping X11 ports via ports: - "6000-6063:6000-6063" doesn’t work.

• Setting DISPLAY to various values (from the host’s hostname -I, or various names to route to the host) doesn’t work.

Install a VNC server plus a simple window manager.

            f"{apt_install} x11vnc icewm",
        )

    if pic24:

When changing the xc16 version, update the string below and the path added at the end of this block.

        xqt(

Install the xc16 compiler.

            f"eatmydata wget --no-verbose https://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/{XC16_VERSION}",
            f"chmod a+x {XC16_VERSION}",

The installer complains if the netserver name isn’t specified. This option isn’t documented in the --help. So, supply junk, and it seems to work.

            f"eatmydata ./{XC16_VERSION} --mode unattended --netservername foo",
            f"rm {XC16_VERSION}",

MPLAB X install

Needed to run sim30: per https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/486806/steam-missing-32-bit-libraries-libx11-6, enable 32-bit libs.

            "eatmydata dpkg --add-architecture i386",
            "eatmydata apt update",
            "eatmydata apt install -y lib32stdc++6 libc6:i386",

Then download and install MPLAB X.

            f'eatmydata wget --no-verbose "https://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/{MPLABX_VERSION}"',
            f'eatmydata tar -xf "{MPLABX_VERSION}"',
            f'rm "{MPLABX_VERSION}"',

Install just the IDE and the 16-bit tools. This program checks to see if this is being run by root by looking at the USER env var, which Docker doesn’t set. Fake it out.

            f'USER=root eatmydata "./{MPLABX_SH_NAME}" -- --mode unattended --ipe 0 --8bitmcu 0 --32bitmcu 0 --othermcu 0',
            f'rm "{MPLABX_SH_NAME}"',
        )

Add the path to the xc16 tools. Note that /root/.bashrc doesn’t get sourced when Docker starts up; therefore, the Dockerfile - create a container hosting the Runestone servers invokes bash when running the startup script.

        with open("/root/.bashrc", "a", encoding="utf-8") as f:
            f.write("\nexport PATH=$PATH:/opt/microchip/xc16/v1.70/bin\n")

Just symlink mdb, since that’s the only tool we use.

        xqt(
            "ln -sf /opt/microchip/mplabx/v5.50/mplab_platform/bin/mdb.sh /usr/local/bin/mdb"
        )
 

Microchip tools (mdb) needs write access to these directories.

        mchp_packs = "/var/www/.mchp_packs"
        java = "/var/www/.java"
        for path in (mchp_packs, java):
            xqt(f"mkdir {path}", f"eatmydata chown www-data:www-data {path}")

    if tex:

    if rust:
        xqt(f"{apt_install} cargo")

    if verilog:
        xqt(f"{apt_install} iverilog")
 

Install web2py and Poetry

    xqt(
        "mkdir -p $WEB2PY_PATH",

Make the www-data the owner and place its files in the www-data group. This is because web2py needs to write to this directory tree (log, errors, etc.).

        "eatmydata chown www-data:www-data $WEB2PY_PATH",

Make any newly created directories have the www-group. Give the group write permission.

        "eatmydata chmod g+ws $WEB2PY_PATH",
    )
    w2p_parent = Path(env.WEB2PY_PATH).parent
    xqt(
        "eatmydata wget --no-verbose https://runestone.academy/cdn/runestone/web2py_src_2.21.zip",
        "eatmydata unzip -q web2py_src_2.21.zip",
        "rm -f web2py_src_2.21.zip",
        cwd=w2p_parent,
    )

    chdir(env.RUNESTONE_PATH)
    xqt(

Clean up after web2py install.

        "rm -rf $WEB2PY_PATH/.cache/*",
        "cp scripts/routes.py $WEB2PY_PATH/routes.py",

Install Poetry, putting it in a location already in $PATH.

        "eatmydata curl -sSL https://install.python-poetry.org | POETRY_HOME=/usr/local python3 -",
    )
