Our CI infrastructure is built around [BuildKite](https://buildkite.com) with some additional GitHub integration provided by https://github.com/mvines/ci-gate # Running Locally To run the CI suite locally, you can run the `run-local.sh` script. Before you do, there are a few dependencies that need to be installed: ```bash cargo install cargo-audit cargo-sort grcov ``` ## macOS On macOS, you will need to install coreutils: ```bash brew install coreutils ``` Make sure to update your PATH environment variable: ```bash export PATH="/usr/local/opt/coreutils/libexec/gnubin:$PATH" ``` If you notice the error `UnableToSetOpenFileDescriptorLimit` you may need to increase the number of available file descriptors: ```bash sudo launchctl limit maxfiles 100000 ulimit -n 1000000 ``` # Agent Queues We define two [Agent Queues](https://buildkite.com/docs/agent/v3/queues): `queue=default` and `queue=cuda`. The `default` queue should be favored and runs on lower-cost CPU instances. The `cuda` queue is only necessary for running **tests** that depend on GPU (via CUDA) access -- CUDA builds may still be run on the `default` queue, and the [buildkite artifact system](https://buildkite.com/docs/builds/artifacts) used to transfer build products over to a GPU instance for testing. # Buildkite Agent Management ## Manual Node Setup for Colocated Hardware This section describes how to set up a new machine that does not have a pre-configured image with all the requirements installed. Used for custom-built hardware at a colocation or office facility. Also works for vanilla Ubuntu cloud instances. ### Pre-Requisites - Install Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Server - Log in as a local or remote user with `sudo` privileges ### Install Core Requirements ##### Non-GPU enabled machines ```bash sudo ./setup-new-buildkite-agent/setup-new-machine.sh ``` ##### GPU-enabled machines - 1 or more NVIDIA GPUs should be installed in the machine (tested with 2080Ti) ```bash sudo CUDA=1 ./setup-new-buildkite-agent/setup-new-machine.sh ``` ### Configure Node for Buildkite-agent based CI - Install `buildkite-agent` and set up it user environment with: ```bash sudo ./setup-new-buildkite-agent/setup-buildkite.sh ``` - Copy the pubkey contents from `~buildkite-agent/.ssh/id_ecdsa.pub` and add the pubkey as an authorized SSH key on github. - In net/scripts/solana-user-authorized_keys.sh - Bug mvines to add it to the "solana-grimes" github user - Edit `/etc/buildkite-agent/buildkite-agent.cfg` and/or `/etc/systemd/system/buildkite-agent@*` to the desired configuration of the agent(s) - Copy `ejson` keys from another CI node at `/opt/ejson/keys/` to the same location on the new node. - Start the new agent(s) with `sudo systemctl enable --now buildkite-agent` # Reference This section contains details regarding previous CI setups that have been used, and that we may return to one day. ## Buildkite Azure Setup Create a new Azure-based "queue=default" agent by running the following command: ``` $ az vm create \ --resource-group ci \ --name XYZ \ --image boilerplate \ --admin-username $(whoami) \ --ssh-key-value ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub ``` The "boilerplate" image contains all the required packages pre-installed so the new machine should immediately show up in the Buildkite agent list once it has been provisioned and be ready for service. Creating a "queue=cuda" agent follows the same process but additionally: 1. Resize the image from the Azure port to include a GPU 2. Edit the tags field in /etc/buildkite-agent/buildkite-agent.cfg to `tags="queue=cuda,queue=default"` and decrease the value of the priority field by one ### Updating the CI Disk Image 1. Create a new VM Instance as described above 1. Modify it as required 1. When ready, ssh into the instance and start a root shell with `sudo -i`. Then prepare it for deallocation by running: `waagent -deprovision+user; cd /etc; ln -s ../run/systemd/resolve/stub-resolv.conf resolv.conf` 1. Run `az vm deallocate --resource-group ci --name XYZ` 1. Run `az vm generalize --resource-group ci --name XYZ` 1. Run `az image create --resource-group ci --source XYZ --name boilerplate` 1. Goto the `ci` resource group in the Azure portal and remove all resources with the XYZ name in them ## Buildkite AWS CloudFormation Setup **AWS CloudFormation is currently inactive, although it may be restored in the future** AWS CloudFormation can be used to scale machines up and down based on the current CI load. If no machine is currently running it can take up to 60 seconds to spin up a new instance, please remain calm during this time. ### AMI We use a custom AWS AMI built via https://github.com/solana-labs/elastic-ci-stack-for-aws/tree/solana/cuda. Use the following process to update this AMI as dependencies change: ```bash $ export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=my_access_key $ export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=my_secret_access_key $ git clone https://github.com/solana-labs/elastic-ci-stack-for-aws.git -b solana/cuda $ cd elastic-ci-stack-for-aws/ $ make build $ make build-ami ``` Watch for the *"amazon-ebs: AMI:"* log message to extract the name of the new AMI. For example: ``` amazon-ebs: AMI: ami-07118545e8b4ce6dc ``` The new AMI should also now be visible in your EC2 Dashboard. Go to the desired AWS CloudFormation stack, update the **ImageId** field to the new AMI id, and *apply* the stack changes. ## Buildkite GCP Setup CI runs on Google Cloud Platform via two Compute Engine Instance groups: `ci-default` and `ci-cuda`. Autoscaling is currently disabled and the number of VM Instances in each group is manually adjusted. ### Updating a CI Disk Image Each Instance group has its own disk image, `ci-default-vX` and `ci-cuda-vY`, where *X* and *Y* are incremented each time the image is changed. The manual process to update a disk image is as follows: 1. Create a new VM Instance using the disk image to modify. 2. Once the VM boots, ssh to it and modify the disk as desired. 3. Stop the VM Instance running the modified disk. Remember the name of the VM disk 4. From another machine, `gcloud auth login`, then create a new Disk Image based off the modified VM Instance: ``` $ gcloud compute images create ci-default-$(date +%Y%m%d%H%M) --source-disk xxx --source-disk-zone us-east1-b --family ci-default ``` or ``` $ gcloud compute images create ci-cuda-$(date +%Y%m%d%H%M) --source-disk xxx --source-disk-zone us-east1-b --family ci-cuda ``` 5. Delete the new VM instance. 6. Go to the Instance templates tab, find the existing template named `ci-default-vX` or `ci-cuda-vY` and select it. Use the "Copy" button to create a new Instance template called `ci-default-vX+1` or `ci-cuda-vY+1` with the newly created Disk image. 7. Go to the Instance Groups tag and find the applicable group, `ci-default` or `ci-cuda`. Edit the Instance Group in two steps: (a) Set the number of instances to 0 and wait for them all to terminate, (b) Update the Instance template and restore the number of instances to the original value. 8. Clean up the previous version by deleting it from Instance Templates and Images.
