+Option 2: Manual guide
+==
+
+All following sections describe manual guide - if you use the automated scripts, then you
+don't need this information unless you face some issue, then this information is helpful to understand
+how things work and how to debug them.
+
+General expectations
+--
+
+Unless specified otherwise all commands/scripts in the instructions should run as `root`.
+If you don't use root account then use `sudo -i` from your user to switch to root.
+Where other user is expected we provide note and `su` command.
+
+The current working directory doesn't matter unless specified with `cd`.
+
+The build system was designed to use 3 or more machines that's why some steps may seem a bit unusual.
+This guide merges everything to single host under single user to make it simpler and faster to get started.
+You may use another machine as build node for Jenkins (or multiple nodes), you may also use another machine
+for reprepro but here it's assumed everything is one host under one user.
+
+Before you install Jenkins, create its user and group
+--
+
+Most of Jenkinfiles do respect your UID/GID but not all, for
+example [linux-kernel/Jenkinsfile](https://github.com/vyos/vyos-build/blob/equuleus/packages/linux-kernel/Jenkinsfile)
+has hardcoded UID and GID to 1006 and this will fail build if you don't have 1006:1006 user.
+
+That's why we want to create jenkins user and group with ID 1006 before installing Jenkins from apt.
+
+```bash
+groupadd --system --gid 1006 jenkins
+useradd --system --comment Jenkins --shell /bin/bash --uid 1006 --gid 1006 --home-dir /var/lib/jenkins jenkins
+```
+
+If you have already existing user then please [change its UID/GID](extras/legacy-uid-gid.md).
+
+Install Jenkins, and its java
+--
+
+Install java, then Jenkins. Let setup guide to install recommended plugins.
+
+Just follow the usual guide via APT https://www.jenkins.io/doc/book/installing/linux/#debianubuntu
+
+Install docker
+--
+
+Just follow the usual guide via APT https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/debian/
+
+Allow Jenkins to use docker:
+
+```bash
+usermod -a -G docker jenkins
+```
+
+Setup local IP
+--
+
+This guide will simplify the unknown by using static IP on dummy interface, this is hopefully outside your subnet if
+not please change all references of this IP with your own.
+
+```bash
+cat << EOT >> /etc/network/interfaces
+
+auto dummy0
+iface dummy0 inet static
+ address 172.17.17.17/32
+ pre-up ip link add dummy0 type dummy
+EOT
+```
+
+```bash
+ifup dummy0
+```
+
+Now we can locally point to known IP `172.17.17.17` as it was the host itself.
+
+After adding docker group and/or after UID/GID change restart Jenkins
+--
+
+```bash
+systemctl restart jenkins.service
+```
+
+Launch local registry and set it, so it always runs when Docker runs
+--
+
+```bash
+docker run -d -p 5000:5000 --restart always --name registry registry:2.7
+```
+
+**Allow insecure docker access to local registry:**
+
+Add your local IP with 5000 port to `insecure-registries` section in `/etc/docker/daemon.json`, something like this:
+
+```bash
+cat << EOF > /etc/docker/daemon.json
+{
+ "insecure-registries": [
+ "172.17.17.17:5000"
+ ]
+}
+EOF
+```
+
+Then restart docker:
+
+```bash
+systemctl restart docker.service
+```
+
+Install apt-cacher-ng for ELTS mirror
+--
+
+This is currently used only by equuleus.
+
+```bash
+apt install apt-cacher-ng
+```
+
+This will allow us to use `http://172.17.17.17:3142/deb.freexian.com/extended-lts` as ELTS mirror.
+
+Build patched vyos-build docker images
+--
+
+The vyos/vyos-build docker image from dockerhub doesn't work for all packages as of now, thus we made some
+patches to make it work. If this changed in future then this step can be skipped.
+
+The below script clones the (patched) vyos-build, then builds and pushes the images to your custom Docker repository.
+
+```bash
+#!/usr/bin/env bash
+set -e
+
+CUSTOM_DOCKER_REPO="172.17.17.17:5000"
+ELTS_MIRROR="http://172.17.17.17:3142/deb.freexian.com/extended-lts"
+
+#
+# Clone (patched) vyos-build
+
+git clone https://github.com/dd010101/vyos-build.git
+cd vyos-build/docker
+
+#
+# Build and Push equuleus
+
+git checkout equuleus
+docker build --build-arg "ELTS_MIRROR=$ELTS_MIRROR" \
+ --no-cache -t vyos/vyos-build:equuleus .
+
+docker tag vyos/vyos-build:equuleus ${CUSTOM_DOCKER_REPO}/vyos/vyos-build:equuleus
+docker push ${CUSTOM_DOCKER_REPO}/vyos/vyos-build:equuleus
+
+#
+# Build and Push sagitta
+
+git checkout sagitta
+docker build --no-cache -t vyos/vyos-build:sagitta .
+
+docker tag vyos/vyos-build:sagitta ${CUSTOM_DOCKER_REPO}/vyos/vyos-build:sagitta
+docker push ${CUSTOM_DOCKER_REPO}/vyos/vyos-build:sagitta
+
+#
+# Build and Push current -- (current is required for some sagitta packages)
+
+git checkout current
+docker build --no-cache -t vyos/vyos-build:current .
+
+docker tag vyos/vyos-build:current ${CUSTOM_DOCKER_REPO}/vyos/vyos-build:current
+docker push ${CUSTOM_DOCKER_REPO}/vyos/vyos-build:current
+```

+
+**Global properties -> Environmental Variables -> Add**
+
+> **Name:** DEV_PACKAGES_VYOS_NET_HOST\
+> **Value:** jenkins@172.17.17.17
+
+This user+IP/host will be used for SSH access to reprepro, it can be another host, we use the host itself,
+this IP needs to be accessible from docker container thus this should be LAN IP not localhost.
+
+**Global properties -> Environmental Variables -> Add**
+
+
+> **Name:** ARM64_BUILD_DISABLED\
+> **Value:** true
+
+This is used to disable ARM64 support. The vyos-build expects that you have ARM64 build node and that's not
+something that is easy to obtain or emulate on x86. If you have ARM64 build node then skip this step and make sure
+your ARM64 node has tag `ec2_arm64`. If you try to build ARM64 without ARM node then most sagitta builds will wait
+and eventually fail.
+
+**Global properties -> Environmental Variables -> Add**
+
+> **Name:** CUSTOM_BUILD_CHECK_DISABLED\
+> **Value:** true
+
+This is used to disable custom build check. Custom build check would normally skip upload to reprepro repository
+if package is built from non-vyos repository. Unfortunately currently it's impossible to build all packages
+from VyOS repositories, and thus we need to use custom repositories. Because some packages don't have
+functional build scripts or don't exist at all. This check doesn't make sense anyway since we are using our
+reprepro repository.
+
+**Global properties -> Environmental Variables -> Add**
+
+> **Name:** CUSTOM_DOCKER_REPO\
+> **Value:** 172.17.17.17:5000
+
+This variable is used to specify local docker registry for automatic `vyos-build` docker image rebuild.
+
+**Global Pipeline Libraries -> Add**
+
+> **Name:** vyos-build\
+> **Project** repository: https://github.com/dd010101/vyos-build.git
+
+Currently patched version of vyos-build is required, in the future the official
+`https://github.com/vyos/vyos-build.git` may work but doesn't currently.
+
+Note for developers: equuleus is using only equuleus branch of vyos-build but sagitta is using both sagitta and
+current, thus if you fix something aimed at sagitta, you need to backports these changes to current as well,
+since some packages will use current and some sagitta branch.
+
+**Declarative Pipeline (Docker)**
+
+> **Docker registry URL:** http://172.17.17.17:5000
+
+This is required to tell Jenkins to use your own (patched) vyos-build docker image and not the DockerHub version.
+
+Credentials for ssh-agent
+--
+You need to set up SSH key authentication for the host specified in `DEV_PACKAGES_VYOS_NET_HOST` variable.
+Basically we want to allow Jenkins to SSH into itself with its own SSH key.
+
+Login as target user:
+
+```bash
+su - jenkins
+```
+
+Generate regular SSH key:
+
+```bash
+ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "jenkins"
+```
+
+Update authenticated_keys to allow Jenkins to log in to itself, something like this:
+
+```bash
+cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
+```
+
+Accept signature and verify SSH works:
+
+```bash
+ssh 172.17.17.17
+```
+
+Then you can add this private key to Jenkins:
+
+**Manage Jenkins -> Credentials -> System -> Global credentials (unrestricted) -> Add Credentials**
+
+> **Kind:** SSH Username with private key\
+> **ID:** SSH-dev.packages.vyos.net\
+> **Username:** jenkins
+
+**Private Key -> Enter directly -> Add**
+
+> <paste private key of the generated ssh key like the contents of cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519>
+
+Preparation for reprepro SSH host
+--
+
+Install some packages:
+
+```bash
+apt install reprepro gpg
+```
+
+Generate GPG singing key (without passphrase):
+
+```bash
+sudo -u jenkins gpg --pinentry-mode loopback --full-gen-key
+```
+
+This key **needs to be without passphrase**. The reprepro uses this key in background thus there is no way to enter
+passphrase.
+
+Remember your pub key, it's random string like "934824D5C6A72DA964B3AFBD27A7E25D86BB7E2A".
+
+Create expected folder structure, prepare reprepro config and give Jenkins access, this is done for each release
+codename.
+
+Set SIGN_PUB_KEY:
+
+```bash
+export SIGN_PUB_KEY="<pub key idenitifier from step above>"
+```
+
+Set RELEASE name:
+
+```bash
+export RELEASE=equuleus
+```
+
+or
+
+```bash
+export RELEASE=sagitta
+```
+
+Then create reprepro repository for each RELEASE:
+
+```bash
+export REPOSITORY=/home/sentrium/web/dev.packages.vyos.net/public_html/repositories/$RELEASE
+mkdir -p $REPOSITORY
+mkdir $REPOSITORY/conf
+
+cat << EOF > $REPOSITORY/conf/distributions
+Origin: $RELEASE
+Label: $RELEASE
+Codename: $RELEASE
+Architectures: source amd64
+Components: main
+Description: $RELEASE
+SignWith: $SIGN_PUB_KEY
+EOF
+
+cat << EOF > $REPOSITORY/conf/options
+verbose
+EOF
+
+chown -R jenkins:jenkins /home/sentrium
+```
+
+uncron
+--
+This is required addition for the reprepro.
+
+**Install dependencies**
+
+```bash
+apt install opam ocaml socat
+```
+
+**Login as reprepro user and build uncon, then exit (if asked - confirm defaults)**
+
+You may have default opem switch already, then you will
+see `[ERROR] There already is an installed switch named default` -
+if you do then ignore this message and continue.
+
+```bash
+su - jenkins
+
+git clone https://github.com/vyos/uncron.git
+cd uncron
+
+opam init
+opam switch create default 4.13.1
+eval $(opam env --switch=default)
+opam install lwt lwt_ppx logs containers
+eval $(opam env)
+
+dune build
+exit
+```
+
+**Setup uncron service**
+
+```bash
+cp /var/lib/jenkins/uncron/_build/install/default/bin/uncron /usr/local/sbin/
+
+cat <<'EHLO' > /etc/systemd/system/uncron.service
+[Unit]
+Description=Command Queue Service
+After=auditd.service systemd-user-sessions.service time-sync.target
+
+[Service]
+EnvironmentFile=/etc/uncron.conf
+ExecStart=/usr/local/sbin/uncron
+ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID
+KillMode=process
+User=jenkins
+Group=jenkins
+Restart=on-failure
+RestartSec=5s
+
+[Install]
+WantedBy=multi-user.target
+EHLO
+
+touch /etc/uncron.conf
+
+systemctl daemon-reload
+systemctl enable --now uncron.service
+
+chmod +x /var/lib/jenkins/uncron/src/uncron-add
+```
+
+**Create uncron-add script**
+
+We also use this as hack to fix some of VyOS packaging issues.
+
+```bash
+cat << 'EOF' > /usr/local/bin/uncron-add
+#!/usr/bin/env bash
+set -e
+
+COMMAND="$1"
+
+# this is hack to workaround a issue where vyos didn't create sagitta branch
+# like the case of vyos-xe-guest-utilities, thus we need to build current
+# branch and then redirect from here to sagitta repository
+if [ ! -L ~/VyOS/current ]; then
+ rm -rf ~/VyOS/current
+ mkdir -p ~/VyOS/sagitta
+ ln -s ~/VyOS/sagitta ~/VyOS/current
+fi
+if [[ "$COMMAND" == *"repositories/current"* ]]; then
+ COMMAND=${COMMAND//current/sagitta}
+fi
+if [[ "$COMMAND" == *"vyos-xe-guest-utilities"* ]] && [[ "$COMMAND" == *"current"* ]]; then
+ COMMAND=${COMMAND//current/sagitta}
+fi
+
+/var/lib/jenkins/uncron/src/uncron-add "$COMMAND"
+EOF
+
+chmod +x /usr/local/bin/uncron-add
+```
+
+Multibranch Pipelines (by script)
+--
+
+Script exists to automate pipeline/job creation.
+
+**Generate Jenkins API token:**
+
+**User account (click on your username - top-right corner) -> Configure**\
+**API Token -> Current token(s) -> Add new Token**
+
+> **Name:** CLI\
+> -> [Generate] -> [copy generated key and save it for later use]
+
+**Get the script**
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/dd010101/vyos-jenkins.git
+cd vyos-jenkins/manual
+```
+
+**Install dependencies**
+
+```bash
+apt install -y xmlstarlet jq
+```
+
+**Adjust settings to suit your Jenkins**
+
+```bash
+export JENKINS_USER=<your-username>
+export JENKINS_TOKEN=<your-token>
+```
+
+**If you want to build only specific branch**
+
+Configure `BRANCH` environment variable to desired branch before you run the script.
+Not defined or empty value means all branches (the default).
+
+```bash
+export BRANCH="sagitta"
+```
+
+**Create jobs**
+
+Then wait for branch indexing to complete.
+
+```bash
+./seed-jobs.sh create
+```
+
+**After branch indexing you can trigger build for everything**
+
+Make sure you have >=16GB RAM or 8GB RAM + 8GB swap, since running build for everything like this eats more memory
+than building one by one this is also dependent on how many Number of executors you have.
+
+```bash
+./seed-jobs.sh build
+```
+
+Now wait for build to complete and check Build History and Dashboard for failed builds. If you find any failed
+builds then read Console Output to see why it did failed.
+
+This process is required only once. After you create Jenkins jobs, and you do first build then Jenkins will
+periodically check if GIT repository for job changed and will do automatically build given job/packages.
+
+You can also create Multibranch Pipelines manually, [see bellow](#multibranch-pipelines-manual).
+
+Mirror preparation
+--
+
+Use the default procedure to build ISO (via docker) but you need to specify your `--vyos-mirror` and your gpg
+singing key `--custom-apt-key`.
+
+To make `--vyos-mirror` is easy, you just install your favorite webserver and point the webroot
+to `/home/sentrium/web/dev.packages.vyos.net/public_html/repositories/`. For example nginx vhost looks
+something like this:
+
+```
+server {
+ listen 80;
+ listen [::]:80;
+
+ root /home/sentrium/web/dev.packages.vyos.net/public_html/repositories;
+ autoindex on;
+
+ server_name _;
+
+ location / {
+ try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
+ }
+
+ location ~ /(.*)/conf {
+ deny all;
+ }
+
+ location ~ /(.*)/db {
+ deny all;
+ }
+}
+```
+
+This will give you HTTP APT repository, like this `http://172.17.17.17/equuleus`.
+
+To create `--custom-apt-key` you need to export your gpg singing public key, for example:
+
+```bash
+sudo -u jenkins gpg --armor --output /home/sentrium/web/dev.packages.vyos.net/public_html/repositories/apt.gpg.key \
+ --export-options export-minimal --export vyos
+```
+
+This will give you `/home/sentrium/web/dev.packages.vyos.net/public_html/repositories/apt.gpg.key` or
+`http://172.17.17.17/apt.gpg.key`.
+
+If you have the `--vyos-mirror` URL of your own repository and your own singing key `--custom-apt-key` then you
+can use these two pieces to build ISO from your own package mirror.
+
+How to build ISO
+--
+
+Complete instructions to illustrate how to build ISO via Docker method included with the extra options outline above.
+
+We assume you already have Docker running if not follow
+the [official instructions](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/debian/) for your OS.
+
+**Obtain the sources:**
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/dd010101/vyos-build
+cd vyos-build
+```
+
+**Select branch of your choice**
+
+For all following steps will use BRANCH environment variable since the branch repeats a lot.
+
+```bash
+export BRANCH=equuleus
+```
+
+or
+
+```bash
+export BRANCH=sagitta
+```
+
+**Switch to branch**
+
+```bash
+git checkout "$BRANCH"
+```
+
+**Clear previous build resources (if any)**
+
+There is `make clean` but that doesn't always clean everything and may produce corrupted build environment.
+The `make clean` is trying to remove specific parts of `build` directory, but it doesn't always do so correctly.
+This happens mainly if you switch branches - that's why it's better to always delete the whole `build` directory.
+
+```bash
+rm -rf build/
+```
+
+**Obtain vyos-build docker container**
+
+You can reuse your docker container image if you already
+have [custom registry](#launch-local-registry-and-set-it-so-it-always-runs-when-docker-runs)
+with [patched vyos-build docker container](#build-patched-vyos-build-docker-images).
+
+Change the registry URL if you build on other machine.
+
+```bash
+docker pull "172.17.17.17:5000/vyos/vyos-build:$BRANCH"
+docker tag "172.17.17.17:5000/vyos/vyos-build:$BRANCH" "vyos/vyos-build:$BRANCH"
+```
+
+If you don't have custom registry then build the container - this will take a while:
+
+```bash
+docker build -t "vyos/vyos-build:$BRANCH" docker
+```
+
+You should rebuild the container from time to time - not very frequently but sometimes the build will break
+if you have too old container.
+
+**Obtain apt singing key for your custom mirror**
+
+```bash
+wget http://172.17.17.17/apt.gpg.key -O /tmp/apt.gpg.key
+```
+
+**Launch the vyos-build docker container**
+
+This is the usual run command from official documentation, we need to add extra mount for our apt singing key
+for later use via `-v "/tmp/apt.gpg.key:/opt/apt.gpg.key"`.
+
+The docker run command will mount current working directory for use inside the container that's why you need to
+execute this command inside the `vyos-build` directory (that is the GIT repository you cloned above).
+You can also replace the `-v "$(pwd)":/vyos` with static path if you like not to depend on current directory
+(for example `-v /opt/vyos-build:/vyos`).
+
+```bash
+docker run --rm -it \
+ -v "$(pwd)":/vyos \
+ -v "/tmp/apt.gpg.key:/opt/apt.gpg.key" \
+ -w /vyos --privileged --sysctl net.ipv6.conf.lo.disable_ipv6=0 \
+ -e GOSU_UID=$(id -u) -e GOSU_GID=$(id -g) \
+ "vyos/vyos-build:$BRANCH" bash
+```
+
+Now we should be inside the container.
+
+**Configure and build the ISO**
+
+Command for configuring changed over time, equuleus has `./configure`, sagitta has `./build-vyos-image iso` instead.
+
+You may want to customize the configuration options, see what is available:
+
+For equuleus:
+
+```bash
+sudo ./configure --help
+```
+
+For sagitta:
+
+```bash
+sudo ./build-vyos-image --help
+```
+
+We need to add extra two options to configure `--vyos-mirror` and `--custom-apt-key`. We also add smoketest
+via `--custom-package vyos-1x-smoketest` for good measure.
+
+Here are examples - please adjust options to your liking:
+
+For equuleus:
+
+```bash
+sudo ./configure --architecture amd64 --build-by "myself@localhost" \
+ --build-type release --version "1.3.x" \
+ --vyos-mirror http://172.17.17.17/equuleus --custom-apt-key /opt/apt.gpg.key \
+ --debian-elts-mirror http://172.17.17.17:3142/deb.freexian.com/extended-lts \
+ --custom-package vyos-1x-smoketest \
+ && sudo make iso
+```
+
+For sagitta:
+
+```bash
+sudo ./build-vyos-image iso --architecture amd64 --build-by "myself@localhost" \
+ --build-type release --version "1.4.x" \
+ --vyos-mirror http://172.17.17.17/sagitta --custom-apt-key /opt/apt.gpg.key \
+ --custom-package vyos-1x-smoketest
+```
+
+This will take a while - after all is done then you can `exit` the container and you should have
+`build/live-image-amd64.hybrid.iso`.
+
+Multibranch Pipelines (manual)
+--
+
+Use + button on Jenkins dashboard to add Multibranch Pipeline. Each Jenkinsfile needs its own Multibranch Pipeline,
+the setup is the same for all packages, and you just adjust location of Jenkinsfile and/or GIT repository to whatever
+you want to build. See packages info bellow for list of all GIT repository and location their Jenkinsfile.
+
+It makes sense to configure one pipeline and then use "Copy from" and just change the Jenkinsfile location and/or GIT
+repository. Start with something small like dropbear, and after you verify your setup works then try the bigger stuff
+like linux-kernel.
+
+There are two types of configurations - first you have single shared GIT repository with many Jenkinsfile, like
+the https://github.com/vyos/vyos-build.git, thus each pipeline points to different Jenkinsfile, but they share same GIT
+url. Rest of the packages have their own GIT repository with single root Jenkinsfile, thus the Jenkinsfile stays
+"Jenkinsfile" and you change the GIT url only. The https://github.com/vyos/vyos-build.git repository has also its own
+root Jenkinsfile - ignore it since that one is trying to build ISO with default (blocked) apt mirror.
+
+You can see all packages and information about them in the [packages.md](extras/packages.md) file.
+
+**Branch Sources -> Add source -> Git**
+
+> **Project Repository:** https://github.com/vyos/vyos-build.git
+
+(or any other repository, like https://github.com/vyos/vyos-1x.git)
+
+You may want to restrict to only branches you care about, thus:
+
+**Behaviours -> Add -> Filter by name (with regular expression)**

+

+
+(leave defaults)
+
+Advanced clone is required for some packages to obtain all tags (specifically `vyos-cloud-init` and `vyos-1x`).
+It doesn't hurt to have advanced clone for everything, thus you can set-it and copy for everything without
+worrying about what to use it for.

+
+**Scan Multibranch Pipeline Triggers**
+
+> [✓] **Periodically if not otherwise run**
+>
+> **Interval:** 1 hour
+
+Jenkins will check the source GIT repository if changes were made and execute automatic build if needed. This
+will keep packages up to date.

+Try to build
+--
+
+Now it's possible to select some **Multibranch Pipeline**, select your **branch**, and you can press build button
+to see what happens! If all is well you should see .deb appearing in
+`/home/sentrium/web/dev.packages.vyos.net/public_html/repositories/`:
+
+```bash
+find /home/sentrium/web/dev.packages.vyos.net/public_html/repositories/ -name '*.deb' -print
+```
+
+If build fails then click the specific build number and check **Console Output** for hints why it does so.

-
-General expectations
---
-
-Unless specified otherwise all commands/scripts in the instructions should run as `root`.
-If you don't use root account then use `sudo -i` from your user to switch to root.
-Where other user is expected we provide note and `su` command.
-
-The current working directory doesn't matter unless specified with `cd`.
-
-The build system was designed to use 3 or more machines that's why some steps may seem a bit unusual.
-This guide merges everything to single host under single user to make it simpler and faster to get started.
-You may use another machine as build node for Jenkins (or multiple nodes), you may also use another machine
-for reprepro but here it's assumed everything is one host under one user.
-
-Before you install Jenkins, create its user and group
---
-
-Most of Jenkinfiles do respect your UID/GID but not all, for
-example [linux-kernel/Jenkinsfile](https://github.com/vyos/vyos-build/blob/equuleus/packages/linux-kernel/Jenkinsfile)
-has hardcoded UID and GID to 1006 and this will fail build if you don't have 1006:1006 user.
-
-That's why we want to create jenkins user and group with ID 1006 before installing Jenkins from apt.
-
-```bash
-groupadd --system --gid 1006 jenkins
-useradd --system --comment Jenkins --shell /bin/bash --uid 1006 --gid 1006 --home-dir /var/lib/jenkins jenkins
-```
-
-If you have already existing user then please [change its UID/GID](extras/legacy-uid-gid.md).

-Install Jenkins, and its java

-
-Install java, then Jenkins. Let setup guide to install recommended plugins.

-Just follow the usual guide via APT https://www.jenkins.io/doc/book/installing/linux/#debianubuntu
-
-Install docker
---
-
-Just follow the usual guide via APT https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/debian/
-
-Allow Jenkins to use docker:
-
-```bash
-usermod -a -G docker jenkins
-```
-
-Setup local IP
---
-
-This guide will simplify the unknown by using static IP on dummy interface, this is hopefully outside your subnet if
-not please change all references of this IP with your own.
-
-```bash
-cat << EOT >> /etc/network/interfaces
-
-auto dummy0
-iface dummy0 inet static
- address 172.17.17.17/32
- pre-up ip link add dummy0 type dummy
-EOT
-```
-
-```bash
-ifup dummy0
-```
-
-Now we can locally point to known IP `172.17.17.17` as it was the host itself.
-
-After adding docker group and/or after UID/GID change restart Jenkins
---
-
-```bash
-systemctl restart jenkins.service
-```
-
-Launch local registry and set it, so it always runs when Docker runs
---
-
-```bash
-docker run -d -p 5000:5000 --restart always --name registry registry:2.7
-```
-
-**Allow insecure docker access to local registry:**
-
-Add your local IP with 5000 port to `insecure-registries` section in `/etc/docker/daemon.json`, something like this:
-
-```bash
-cat << EOF > /etc/docker/daemon.json
-{
- "insecure-registries": [
- "172.17.17.17:5000"
- ]
-}
-EOF
-```
-
-Then restart docker:
-
-```bash
-systemctl restart docker.service
-```
-
-Install apt-cacher-ng for ELTS mirror
---
-
-This is currently used only by equuleus.
-
-```bash
-apt install apt-cacher-ng
-```
-
-This will allow us to use `http://172.17.17.17:3142/deb.freexian.com/extended-lts` as ELTS mirror.
-
-Build patched vyos-build docker images
---
-
-The vyos/vyos-build docker image from dockerhub doesn't work for all packages as of now, thus we made some
-patches to make it work. If this changed in future then this step can be skipped.
-
-The below script clones the (patched) vyos-build, then builds and pushes the images to your custom Docker repository.
-
-```bash

-
-This user+IP/host will be used for SSH access to reprepro, it can be another host, we use the host itself,
-this IP needs to be accessible from docker container thus this should be LAN IP not localhost.
-
-**Global properties -> Environmental Variables -> Add**
-
-
-> **Name:** ARM64_BUILD_DISABLED\
-> **Value:** true
-
-This is used to disable ARM64 support. The vyos-build expects that you have ARM64 build node and that's not
-something that is easy to obtain or emulate on x86. If you have ARM64 build node then skip this step and make sure
-your ARM64 node has tag `ec2_arm64`. If you try to build ARM64 without ARM node then most sagitta builds will wait
-and eventually fail.
-
-**Global properties -> Environmental Variables -> Add**
-
-> **Name:** CUSTOM_BUILD_CHECK_DISABLED\
-> **Value:** true
-
-This is used to disable custom build check. Custom build check would normally skip upload to reprepro repository
-if package is built from non-vyos repository. Unfortunately currently it's impossible to build all packages
-from VyOS repositories, and thus we need to use custom repositories. Because some packages don't have
-functional build scripts or don't exist at all. This check doesn't make sense anyway since we are using our
-reprepro repository.
-
-**Global properties -> Environmental Variables -> Add**
-
-> **Name:** CUSTOM_DOCKER_REPO\
-> **Value:** 172.17.17.17:5000
-
-This variable is used to specify local docker registry for automatic `vyos-build` docker image rebuild.
-
-**Global Pipeline Libraries -> Add**
-
-> **Name:** vyos-build\
-> **Project** repository: https://github.com/dd010101/vyos-build.git
-
-Currently patched version of vyos-build is required, in the future the official
-`https://github.com/vyos/vyos-build.git` may work but doesn't currently.
-
-Note for developers: equuleus is using only equuleus branch of vyos-build but sagitta is using both sagitta and
-current, thus if you fix something aimed at sagitta, you need to backports these changes to current as well,
-since some packages will use current and some sagitta branch.
-
-**Declarative Pipeline (Docker)**
-
-> **Docker registry URL:** http://172.17.17.17:5000
-
-This is required to tell Jenkins to use your own (patched) vyos-build docker image and not the DockerHub version.
-
-Credentials for ssh-agent
---
-You need to set up SSH key authentication for the host specified in `DEV_PACKAGES_VYOS_NET_HOST` variable.
-Basically we want to allow Jenkins to SSH into itself with its own SSH key.
-
-Login as target user:
-
-```bash
-su - jenkins
-```
-
-Generate regular SSH key:
-
-```bash
-ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "jenkins"
-```
-
-Update authenticated_keys to allow Jenkins to log in to itself, something like this:
-
-```bash
-cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
-```
-
-Accept signature and verify SSH works:
-
-```bash
-ssh 172.17.17.17
-```
-
-Then you can add this private key to Jenkins:
-
-**Manage Jenkins -> Credentials -> System -> Global credentials (unrestricted) -> Add Credentials**
-
-> **Kind:** SSH Username with private key\
-> **ID:** SSH-dev.packages.vyos.net\
-> **Username:** jenkins
-
-**Private Key -> Enter directly -> Add**
-
-> <paste private key of the generated ssh key like the contents of cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519>
-
-Preparation for reprepro SSH host
---
-
-Install some packages:
-
-```bash
-apt install reprepro gpg
-```
-
-Generate GPG singing key (without passphrase):
-
-```bash
-sudo -u jenkins gpg --pinentry-mode loopback --full-gen-key
-```
-
-This key **needs to be without passphrase**. The reprepro uses this key in background thus there is no way to enter
-passphrase.
-
-Remember your pub key, it's random string like "934824D5C6A72DA964B3AFBD27A7E25D86BB7E2A".
-
-Create expected folder structure, prepare reprepro config and give Jenkins access, this is done for each release
-codename.
-
-Set SIGN_PUB_KEY:
-
-```bash
-export SIGN_PUB_KEY="<pub key idenitifier from step above>"
-```
-
-Set RELEASE name:
-
-```bash
-export RELEASE=equuleus
-```
-
-or
-
-```bash
-export RELEASE=sagitta
-```
-
-Then create reprepro repository for each RELEASE:
-
-```bash
-export REPOSITORY=/home/sentrium/web/dev.packages.vyos.net/public_html/repositories/$RELEASE
-mkdir -p $REPOSITORY
-mkdir $REPOSITORY/conf
-
-cat << EOF > $REPOSITORY/conf/distributions
-Origin: $RELEASE
-Label: $RELEASE
-Codename: $RELEASE
-Architectures: source amd64
-Components: main
-Description: $RELEASE
-SignWith: $SIGN_PUB_KEY
-EOF
-
-cat << EOF > $REPOSITORY/conf/options
-verbose
-EOF
-
-chown -R jenkins:jenkins /home/sentrium
-```

---
-This is required addition for the reprepro.
-
-**Install dependencies**
-
-```bash
-apt install opam ocaml socat
-```
-
-**Login as reprepro user and build uncon, then exit (if asked - confirm defaults)**
-
-You may have default opem switch already, then you will
-see `[ERROR] There already is an installed switch named default` -
-if you do then ignore this message and continue.
-
-```bash
-su - jenkins
-
-git clone https://github.com/vyos/uncron.git
-cd uncron
-
-opam init
-opam switch create default 4.13.1
-eval $(opam env --switch=default)
-opam install lwt lwt_ppx logs containers
-eval $(opam env)
-
-dune build
-exit
-```
-
-**Setup uncron service**

-systemctl enable --now uncron.service
-
-chmod +x /var/lib/jenkins/uncron/src/uncron-add
-```
-
-**Create uncron-add script**
-
-We also use this as hack to fix some of VyOS packaging issues.
-
-```bash
-cat << 'EOF' > /usr/local/bin/uncron-add
-#!/usr/bin/env bash

-
-Multibranch Pipelines (by script)
---
-
-Script exists to automate pipeline/job creation.
-
-**Generate Jenkins API token:**
-
-**User account (click on your username - top-right corner) -> Configure**\
-**API Token -> Current token(s) -> Add new Token**
-
-> **Name:** CLI\
-> -> [Generate] -> [copy generated key and save it for later use]
-
-**Get the script**
-
-```bash
-git clone https://github.com/dd010101/vyos-jenkins.git
-cd vyos-jenkins/manual
-```
-
-**Install dependencies**
-
-```bash
-apt install -y xmlstarlet jq
-```
-
-**Adjust settings to suit your Jenkins**
-
-```bash
-export JENKINS_USER=<your-username>
-export JENKINS_TOKEN=<your-token>
-```
-
-**If you want to build only specific branch**
-
-Configure `BRANCH` environment variable to desired branch before you run the script.
-Not defined or empty value means all branches (the default).
-
-```bash
-export BRANCH="sagitta"
-```
-
-**Create jobs**
-
-Then wait for branch indexing to complete.
-
-```bash
-./seed-jobs.sh create
-```
-
-**After branch indexing you can trigger build for everything**
-
-Make sure you have >=16GB RAM or 8GB RAM + 8GB swap, since running build for everything like this eats more memory
-than building one by one this is also dependent on how many Number of executors you have.
-
-```bash
-./seed-jobs.sh build
-```
-
-Now wait for build to complete and check Build History and Dashboard for failed builds. If you find any failed
-builds then read Console Output to see why it did failed.
-
-This process is required only once. After you create Jenkins jobs, and you do first build then Jenkins will
-periodically check if GIT repository for job changed and will do automatically build given job/packages.
-
-You can also create Multibranch Pipelines manually, [see bellow](#multibranch-pipelines-manual).
-
-Mirror preparation
---
-
-Use the default procedure to build ISO (via docker) but you need to specify your `--vyos-mirror` and your gpg
-singing key `--custom-apt-key`.
-
-To make `--vyos-mirror` is easy, you just install your favorite webserver and point the webroot
-to `/home/sentrium/web/dev.packages.vyos.net/public_html/repositories/`. For example nginx vhost looks
-something like this:
-
-```
-server {
- listen 80;
- listen [::]:80;
-
- root /home/sentrium/web/dev.packages.vyos.net/public_html/repositories;
- autoindex on;
-
- server_name _;
-
- location / {
- try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
- }
-
- location ~ /(.*)/conf {
- deny all;
- }
-
- location ~ /(.*)/db {
- deny all;
- }
-}
-```
-
-This will give you HTTP APT repository, like this `http://172.17.17.17/equuleus`.
-
-To create `--custom-apt-key` you need to export your gpg singing public key, for example:
-
-```bash
-sudo -u jenkins gpg --armor --output /home/sentrium/web/dev.packages.vyos.net/public_html/repositories/apt.gpg.key \
- --export-options export-minimal --export vyos
-```
-
-This will give you `/home/sentrium/web/dev.packages.vyos.net/public_html/repositories/apt.gpg.key` or
-`http://172.17.17.17/apt.gpg.key`.
-
-If you have the `--vyos-mirror` URL of your own repository and your own singing key `--custom-apt-key` then you
-can use these two pieces to build ISO from your own package mirror.
-
-How to build ISO
---
-
-Complete instructions to illustrate how to build ISO via Docker method included with the extra options outline above.
-
-We assume you already have Docker running if not follow
-the [official instructions](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/debian/) for your OS.
-
-**Obtain the sources:**
-
-```bash
-git clone https://github.com/dd010101/vyos-build
-cd vyos-build
-```
-
-**Select branch of your choice**
-
-For all following steps will use BRANCH environment variable since the branch repeats a lot.
-
-```bash
-export BRANCH=equuleus
-```
-
-or
-
-```bash
-export BRANCH=sagitta
-```
-
-**Switch to branch**
-
-```bash
-git checkout "$BRANCH"
-```
-
-**Clear previous build resources (if any)**
-
-There is `make clean` but that doesn't always clean everything and may produce corrupted build environment.
-The `make clean` is trying to remove specific parts of `build` directory, but it doesn't always do so correctly.
-This happens mainly if you switch branches - that's why it's better to always delete the whole `build` directory.
-
-```bash
-rm -rf build/
-```
-
-**Obtain vyos-build docker container**
-
-You can reuse your docker container image if you already
-have [custom registry](#launch-local-registry-and-set-it-so-it-always-runs-when-docker-runs)
-with [patched vyos-build docker container](#build-patched-vyos-build-docker-images).
-
-Change the registry URL if you build on other machine.
-
-```bash
-docker pull "172.17.17.17:5000/vyos/vyos-build:$BRANCH"
-docker tag "172.17.17.17:5000/vyos/vyos-build:$BRANCH" "vyos/vyos-build:$BRANCH"
-```
-
-If you don't have custom registry then build the container - this will take a while:
-
-```bash
-docker build -t "vyos/vyos-build:$BRANCH" docker
-```
-
-You should rebuild the container from time to time - not very frequently but sometimes the build will break
-if you have too old container.
-
-**Obtain apt singing key for your custom mirror**
-
-```bash
-wget http://172.17.17.17/apt.gpg.key -O /tmp/apt.gpg.key
-```
-
-**Launch the vyos-build docker container**
-
-This is the usual run command from official documentation, we need to add extra mount for our apt singing key
-for later use via `-v "/tmp/apt.gpg.key:/opt/apt.gpg.key"`.
-
-The docker run command will mount current working directory for use inside the container that's why you need to
-execute this command inside the `vyos-build` directory (that is the GIT repository you cloned above).
-You can also replace the `-v "$(pwd)":/vyos` with static path if you like not to depend on current directory
-(for example `-v /opt/vyos-build:/vyos`).
-
-```bash
-docker run --rm -it \
- -v "$(pwd)":/vyos \
- -v "/tmp/apt.gpg.key:/opt/apt.gpg.key" \
- -w /vyos --privileged --sysctl net.ipv6.conf.lo.disable_ipv6=0 \
- -e GOSU_UID=$(id -u) -e GOSU_GID=$(id -g) \
- "vyos/vyos-build:$BRANCH" bash
-```
-
-Now we should be inside the container.
-
-**Configure and build the ISO**
-
-Command for configuring changed over time, equuleus has `./configure`, sagitta has `./build-vyos-image iso` instead.
-
-You may want to customize the configuration options, see what is available:
-
-For equuleus:
-
-```bash
-sudo ./configure --help
-```
-
-For sagitta:
-
-```bash
-sudo ./build-vyos-image --help
-```
-
-We need to add extra two options to configure `--vyos-mirror` and `--custom-apt-key`. We also add smoketest
-via `--custom-package vyos-1x-smoketest` for good measure.
-
-Here are examples - please adjust options to your liking:
-
-For equuleus:
-
-```bash

-Multibranch Pipelines (manual)
---
-
-Use + button on Jenkins dashboard to add Multibranch Pipeline. Each Jenkinsfile needs its own Multibranch Pipeline,
-the setup is the same for all packages, and you just adjust location of Jenkinsfile and/or GIT repository to whatever
-you want to build. See packages info bellow for list of all GIT repository and location their Jenkinsfile.
-
-It makes sense to configure one pipeline and then use "Copy from" and just change the Jenkinsfile location and/or GIT
-repository. Start with something small like dropbear, and after you verify your setup works then try the bigger stuff
-like linux-kernel.
-
-There are two types of configurations - first you have single shared GIT repository with many Jenkinsfile, like
-the https://github.com/vyos/vyos-build.git, thus each pipeline points to different Jenkinsfile, but they share same GIT
-url. Rest of the packages have their own GIT repository with single root Jenkinsfile, thus the Jenkinsfile stays
-"Jenkinsfile" and you change the GIT url only. The https://github.com/vyos/vyos-build.git repository has also its own
-root Jenkinsfile - ignore it since that one is trying to build ISO with default (blocked) apt mirror.
-
-You can see all packages and information about them in the [packages.md](extras/packages.md) file.
-
-**Branch Sources -> Add source -> Git**
-
-> **Project Repository:** https://github.com/vyos/vyos-build.git
-
-(or any other repository, like https://github.com/vyos/vyos-1x.git)
-
-You may want to restrict to only branches you care about, thus:
-
-**Behaviours -> Add -> Filter by name (with regular expression)**
-
-> *Regular expression:** (equuleus|sagitta)
-
-**Behaviours -> Add -> Advanced clone behaviours**
-
-> **Fetch tags:** [✓]
-
-(leave defaults)
-
-Advanced clone is required for some packages to obtain all tags (specifically `vyos-cloud-init` and `vyos-1x`).
-It doesn't hurt to have advanced clone for everything, thus you can set-it and copy for everything without
-worrying about what to use it for.
-
-**Build Configuration -> Mode (by Jenkinsfile)**
-
-> **Script Path:** packages/dropbear/Jenkinsfile
-
-(if you want to build package from vyos/vyos-build repository)
-
-> **Script Path:** Jenkinsfile
-
-(or leave just Jenkinsfile if you want to build repository like vyos/vyos-1x where there is just one package)
-
-**Scan Multibranch Pipeline Triggers**
-
-> [✓] **Periodically if not otherwise run**
->
-> **Interval:** 1 hour
-
-Jenkins will check the source GIT repository if changes were made and execute automatic build if needed. This
-will keep packages up to date.
-
-Try to build
---
-
-Now it's possible to select some **Multibranch Pipeline**, select your **branch**, and you can press build button
-to see what happens! If all is well you should see .deb appearing in
-`/home/sentrium/web/dev.packages.vyos.net/public_html/repositories/`:
-
-```bash
-find /home/sentrium/web/dev.packages.vyos.net/public_html/repositories/ -name '*.deb' -print
-```
-
-If build fails then click the specific build number and check **Console Output** for hints why it does so.
