+##########
+Build VyOS
+##########
+
+*************
+Prerequisites
+*************
+
+There are different ways you can build VyOS.
+
+Building using a :ref:`build_docker` container, although not the only way, is the
+easiest way as all dependencies are managed for you. However, you can also
+set up your own build machine and run a :ref:`build_native`.
+
+.. note:: Starting with VyOS 1.2 the release model of VyOS has changed. VyOS
+ is now **free as in speech, but not as in beer**. This means that while
+ VyOS is still an open source project, the release ISOs are no longer free
+ and can only be obtained via subscription, or by contributing to the
+ community.
+
+ The source code remains public and an ISO can be built using the process
+ outlined in this chapter.
This will guide you though the process of building a VyOS ISO using Docker_.
This process has been tested on clean installs of Debian Jessie, Stretch, and
Buster.

.. note:: The build process needs to be built on a local file system, building
on SMB or NFS shares will result in the container failing to build properly!
VirtualBox Drive Share is also not an option as block device operations
are not implemented and the drive is always mounted as "nodev"
-Build Docker Container
-----------------------
+Build Container
+---------------
The container can built by hand or by fetching the pre-built one from DockerHub.
-Using the pre-built VyOS DockerHub organisation (https://hub.docker.com/u/vyos)
-will ensure that the container is always up-to-date. A rebuild is triggered once
-the container changes (please note this will take 2-3 hours after pushing to
-the vyos-build repository).
+Using the pre-built containers from the `VyOS DockerHub organisation`_ will
+ensure that the container is always up-to-date. A rebuild is triggered once the
+container changes (please note this will take 2-3 hours after pushing to the
+vyos-build repository).
+
+.. note: If you are using the pre-built container, it will be automatically
+ downloaded from DockerHub if it is not found on your local machine when
+ you build the ISO.
+
+Dockerhub
+^^^^^^^^^
-To download the container from DockerHub run:
+To manually download the container from DockerHub, run:
.. code-block:: none
- $ docker pull vyos/vyos-build:crux # for the LTS version
- $ docker pull vyos/vyos-build:current # for the current version
+ $ docker pull vyos/vyos-build:crux # For VyOS 1.2
+ $ docker pull vyos/vyos-build:current # For rolling release
+
+Build from source
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The container can also be built directly from source:
.. code-block:: none
+ # For VyOS 1.2 (crux)
+ $ git clone -b crux --single-branch https://github.com/vyos/vyos-build
+ # For VyOS 1.3 (equuleus, current)
$ git clone -b current --single-branch https://github.com/vyos/vyos-build
+
$ cd vyos-build
- $ docker build -t vyos/vyos-build docker
+ $ docker build -t vyos/vyos-build:crux docker # For VyOS 1.2
+ $ docker build -t vyos/vyos-build docker # For rollign release
+
+.. note:: Since VyOS has switched to Debian (10) Buster in its ``current`` branch,
+ you will require individual container for `current` and `crux` builds.
+
+Tips and Tricks
+---------------
+
+You can create yourself some handy Bash aliases to always launch the latest -
+per release train (`current` or `crux`) - container. Add the following to your
+``.bash_aliases`` file:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ alias vybld='docker pull vyos/vyos-build:current && docker run --rm -it \
+ -v "$(pwd)":/vyos \
+ -v "$HOME/.gitconfig":/etc/gitconfig \
+ -v "$HOME/.bash_aliases":/home/vyos_bld/.bash_aliases \
+ -v "$HOME/.bashrc":/home/vyos_bld/.bashrc \
+ -w /vyos --privileged --sysctl net.ipv6.conf.lo.disable_ipv6=0 \
+ -e GOSU_UID=$(id -u) -e GOSU_GID=$(id -g) \
+ vyos/vyos-build:current bash'
+
+ alias vybld_crux='docker pull vyos/vyos-build:crux && docker run --rm -it \
+ -v "$(pwd)":/vyos \
+ -v "$HOME/.gitconfig":/etc/gitconfig \
+ -v "$HOME/.bash_aliases":/home/vyos_bld/.bash_aliases \
+ -v "$HOME/.bashrc":/home/vyos_bld/.bashrc \
+ -w /vyos --privileged --sysctl net.ipv6.conf.lo.disable_ipv6=0 \
+ -e GOSU_UID=$(id -u) -e GOSU_GID=$(id -g) \
+ vyos/vyos-build:crux bash'
+
+Now you are prepared with two new aliases ``vybld`` and ``vybld_crux`` to spwan
+your development containers in your current working directory.
+
+.. _build_native:
+
+Native Build
+============
+
+To build VyOS natively you require a properly configured build host with the
+following Debian versions installed:
+
+- Debian Jessie for VyOS 1.2 (crux)
+- Debian Buster for VyOS 1.3 (equuleus, current) - aka the rolling release
+
+To start, clone the repository to your local machine:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ # For VyOS 1.2 (crux)
+ $ git clone -b crux --single-branch https://github.com/vyos/vyos-build
+
+ # For VyOS 1.3 (equuleus, current)
+ $ git clone -b current --single-branch https://github.com/vyos/vyos-build
-.. note:: The container is automatically downloaded from Dockerhub if it is not
- found on your local machine when the below command is executed.
+For the packages required, you can refer to the ``docker/Dockerfile`` file
+in the repository_. The ``./configure`` script will also warn you if any
+dependencies are missing.
+
+Once you have the required dependencies installed, you may proceed with the
+steps descirbed in :ref:`build_iso`.
-.. note:: We require one container per build branch, this means that the used
- container in ``crux`` and ``current`` can and will differ once VyOS makes
- the move towards Debian (10) Buster.
.. _build_iso:
+*********
Build ISO
----------
-
-After the container is generated either manually or fetched from DockerHub,
-a fresh build of the VyOS ISO can begin.
+*********
-If you pulled the image from DockerHub, you need to clone the repository to
-your local machine:
+Now as you are aware of the prerequisites we can continue and build our own
+ISO from source. For this we have to fetch the latest source code from GitHub.
+Please note as this will differ for both `current` and `crux`.
.. code-block:: none
+ # For VyOS 1.2 (crux)
+ $ git clone -b crux --single-branch https://github.com/vyos/vyos-build
+
+ # For VyOS 1.3 (equuleus, current)
$ git clone -b current --single-branch https://github.com/vyos/vyos-build
-After cloning, change directory to the ``vyos-build`` directory and run:
+Now a fresh build of the VyOS ISO can begin. Change directory to the ``vyos-build`` directory and run:
.. code-block:: none
$ cd vyos-build
+ # For VyOS 1.2 (crux)
+ $ docker run --rm -it --privileged -v $(pwd):/vyos -w /vyos vyos/vyos-build:crux bash
+
+ # For VyOS 1.3 (equuleus, current)
$ docker run --rm -it --privileged -v $(pwd):/vyos -w /vyos vyos/vyos-build bash
- vyos_bld@d4220bb519a0:/vyos# ./configure --architecture amd64 \
- --build-by "your@email.tld" \
- --build-type release --version 1.2.0
+
+Start the build:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ vyos_bld@d4220bb519a0:/vyos# ./configure --architecture amd64 --build-by "j.randomhacker@vyos.io"
vyos_bld@d4220bb519a0:/vyos# sudo make iso
-When the build is successful, the resulting iso can be found inside the ``build``
-directory.
+When the build is successful, the resulting iso can be found inside the ``build``
+directory as ``live-image-[architecture].hybrid.iso``.
+
+Good luck!
+
+.. hint:: Attempting to use the Docker build image on MacOS will fail as
+ Docker does not expose all the filesystem feature required to the container.
+ Building within a VirtualBox server on Mac however possible.
-.. note:: Attempting to use the docker build image on MacOS or Windows will fail
- as docker does not expose all the filesystem feature required to the container.
- Building within a VirtualBox server on Mac or Windows is however possible.
+.. hint:: Building VyOS on Windows WSL2 with Docker integrated into WSL2 will work
+ like a charm. No problems are known so far!
-To select the container you want to run, you need to specify the branch you are
-interested in, this can be easily done by selecting the appropriate container
-image:
+.. _build source:
-* VyOS 1.2 (crux) use ``vyos/vyos-build:crux``
-* VyOS rolling release you should use ``vyos/vyos-build`` which will always
- refer to the latest image.
-Customisation
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+.. _customize:
+
+Customize
+=========
This ISO can be customized with the following list of configure options.
The full and current list can be generated with ``./configure --help``:
.. code-block:: none
- -h, --help show this help message and exit
- --architecture ARCHITECTURE
- Image target architecture (amd64 or i586 or armhf)
- --build-by BUILD_BY Builder identifier (e.g. jrandomhacker@example.net)
- --custom-package CUSTOM_PACKAGES
- Custom packages to install from repositories
- --build-type BUILD_TYPE
- Build type, release or development
- --debian-security-mirror DEBIAN_SECURITY_MIRROR
- Debian security updated mirror
- --version VERSION Version number (release builds only)
- --debian-mirror DEBIAN_MIRROR
- Debian repository mirror for ISO build
- --vyos-mirror VYOS_MIRROR
- VyOS package mirror
- --pbuilder-debian-mirror PBUILDER_DEBIAN_MIRROR
- Debian repository mirror for pbuilder env bootstrap
- --debug Enable debug output
- --custom-apt-entry CUSTOM_APT_ENTRY
- Custom APT entry
- --custom-apt-key CUSTOM_APT_KEY
- Custom APT key file
-
-The successfully built ISO should now be in the `build/` directory.
-
-Good luck!
-
-.. note:: The build process does not differentiate when building a ``crux`` ISO
- or ``rolling`` image. Make sure to choose the matching container for the
- version of VyOS that is being built.

-VyOS requires a bunch of packages which are VyOS specific and thus can not be
-found in any Debian Upstream mirrror. Those packages can be found at the VyOS
-GitHub project (https://github.com/vyos) and there is a nice helper script
-available to build and list those individual packages.
+Virtualization Platforms
+========================
-`scripts/build-packages` provides an easy interface to automate the process
-of building all VyOS related packages that are not part of the upstream Debian
-version. Execute it in the root of the `vyos-build` directory to start
-compilation.
+QEMU
+----
-.. code-block:: none
-
- $ scripts/build-packages -h
- usage: build-packages [-h] [-c | -k | -f] [-v] [-l] [-b BUILD [BUILD ...]]
- [-p] [--blacklist BLACKLIST [BLACKLIST ...]]
-
- optional arguments:
- -h, --help show this help message and exit
- -c, --clean Re-clone required Git repositories
- -k, --keep Keep modified Git repositories
- -f, --fetch Fetch sources only, no build
- -v, --verbose Increase logging verbosity for each occurance
- -l, --list-packages List all packages to build
- -b BUILD [BUILD ...], --build BUILD [BUILD ...]
- Whitespace separated list of packages to build
- -p, --parallel Build on all CPUs
- --blacklist BLACKLIST [BLACKLIST ...]
- Do not build/report packages when calling --list
-
-Git repositoriers are automatically fetched and build on demand. If you want to
-work offline you can fetch all source code first with the `-f` option.
-
-The easiest way to compile is with the above mentioned Docker
-container, it includes all dependencies for compiling supported packages.
+Run following command after building the ISO image.

- $ docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/vyos -w /vyos \
- --sysctl net.ipv6.conf.lo.disable_ipv6=0 \
- vyos-build scripts/build-packages
-
-.. note:: `--sysctl net.ipv6.conf.lo.disable_ipv6=0` is required to build the
- `vyos-strongswan` package

+Packages
+********
-You can also build packages that are not from the default git repositories,
-for example from your own forks of the official vyos repositories.
+VyOS itself comes with a bunch of packages which are specific to our system and
+thus can not be found in any Debian mirrror. Those packages can be found at the
+`VyOS GitHub project`_ in their source format can can easily be compiled into
+a custom Debian (`*.deb`) package.
-First create a directory "packages" at the top level of the vyos-build
-repository and clone your package into it (creating a subdirectory with the
-package contents). Then checkout the correct branch or commit you want to build
-before building the package.
+The easiest way to compile your package is with the above mentioned
+:ref:`build_docker` container, it includes all required dependencies for
+all VyOS related packages.
-Example using `git@github.com:myname/vyos-1x.git` repository to build vyos-1x:
+Assume we want to build the vyos-1x package on our own and modify it to our
+needs. We first need to clone the repository from GitHub.
.. code-block:: none
- $ mkdir packages
- $ cd packages
- $ git clone git@github.com:myname/vyos-1x.git
- $ cd ..
- $ docker run --rm -it -v $(pwd):/vyos -w /vyos \
- --sysctl net.ipv6.conf.lo.disable_ipv6=0 \
- vyos-build scripts/build-packages -b vyos-1x
-
-.. note:: You need to git pull manually after you commit to the remote and
- before rebuilding, the local repository won't be updated automatically.
-
-.. warning:: Any packages in the packages directory will be added to the iso
- during build, replacing the upstream ones. Make sure you delete them (both
- the source directories and built deb packages) if you want to build an iso
- from purely upstream packages.

-Upstream packages
------------------
-
-Many base system packages are pulled straight from Debian's main and contrib
-repositories, but there are exceptions.
-
-This chapter lists those exceptions and gives you a brief overview what we
-have done on those packages. If you only want to build yourself a fresh ISO
-you can completely skip this chapter. It may become interesting once you have
-a VyOS deep dive.
-
-vyos-netplug
-^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Due to issues in the upstream version that sometimes set interfaces down, a
-modified version is used.
-
-The source is located at https://github.com/vyos/vyos-netplug
-
-In the future, we may switch to using systemd infrastructure instead. Building
-it doesn't require a special procedure.
-
-keepalived
-^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Keepalived normally isn't updated to newer feature releases between Debian
-versions, so we are building it from source.
-
-Debian does keep their package in git, but it's upstream tarball imported into
-git without its original commit history. To be able to merge new tags in, we
-keep a fork of the upstream repository with packaging files imported from
-Debian at https://github.com/vyos/keepalived-upstream
-
-strongswan
-^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Our StrongSWAN build differs from the upstream:
-
-- strongswan-nm package build is disabled since we don't use NetworkManager
-- Patches for DMVPN are merged in
-
-The source is at https://github.com/vyos/vyos-strongswan
-
-DMVPN patches are added by this commit:
-https://github.com/vyos/vyos-strongswan/commit/1cf12b0f2f921bfc51affa3b81226
-
-Our op mode scripts use the python-vici module, which is not included in
-Debian's build, and isn't quite easy to integrate in that build. For this
-reason we debianize that module by hand now, using this procedure:
-
-0. Install https://pypi.org/project/stdeb/
-1. `cd vyos-strongswan`
-2. `./configure --enable-python-eggs`
-3. `cd src/libcharon/plugins/vici/python`
-4. `make`
-5. `python3 setup.py --command-packages=stdeb.command bdist_deb`
-
-The package ends up in deb_dist dir.
+ $ git clone https://github.com/vyos/vyos-1x
-ppp
-^^^
+Build
+=====
-Properly renaming PPTP and L2TP interfaces to pptpX and l2tpX from generic and
-non-informative pppX requires a patch that is neither in the upstream nor in
-Debian.
+Launch Docker container and build package
-We keep a fork of Debian's repo at https://github.com/vyos/ppp-debian
-
-The patches for pre-up renaming are:
-
-* https://github.com/vyos/ppp-debian/commit/e728180026a051d2a96396276e7e4ae
-* https://github.com/vyos/ppp-debian/commit/f29ba8d9ebb043335a096d70bcd07e9
-
-Additionally, there's a patch for reopening the log file to better support
-logging to files, even though it's less essential:
-https://github.com/vyos/ppp-debian/commit/dd2ebd5cdcddb40230dc4cc43d374055f
-
-The patches were written by Stephen Hemminger back in the Vyatta times.
-
-mdns-repeater
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-This package doesn't exist in Debian. A debianized fork is kept at
-https://github.com/vyos/mdns-repeater
-
-No special build procedure is required.
-
-udp-broadcast-relay
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-This package doesn't exist in Debian. A debianized fork is kept at
-https://github.com/vyos/udp-broadcast-relay
-
-No special build procedure is required.
-
-Linux kernel
-^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-In the past a fork of the Kernel source code was kept at the well-known
-location of https://github.com/vyos/vyos-kernel - where it is kept for history.
-
-Nowadays the Kernel we use is the upstream source code which is patched
-with two additional patches from the good old Vyatta times which never made it
-into the mainstream Kernel. The patches can be found here:
-https://github.com/vyos/vyos-build-kernel/tree/master/patches/kernel and are
-automatically applied to the Kernel by the Jenkins Pipeline which is used to
-generate the Kernel binaries.
-
-The Pipeline script not only builds the Kernel with the configuration named
-``x86_64_vyos_defconfig`` which is located in the vyos-build-kernel repository,
-too - but in addition also builds some Intel out-of-tree drivers, WireGuard
-(as long it is not upstreamed) and Accel-PPP.
-
-The ``Jenkinsfile`` tries to be as verbose as possible on each individual build
-step.
-
-Linux Firmware
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-More and more hardware cards require an additional firmware which is not open
-source. The Kernel community hosts a special linux-firmware Git repository
-with all available binary files which can be loaded by the Kernel.
-
-The ``vyos-build`` repository fetches a specific commit of the linux-firmware
-repository and embeds those binaries into the resulting ISO image. This step is
-done in the ``data/live-build-config/hooks/live/40-linux-firmware.chroot`` file.
+.. code-block:: none
-If the firmware needs to be updated it is sufficient to just exchange the Git
-commit id we reference in our build.
+ # For VyOS 1.3 (equuleus, current)
+ $ docker run --rm -it --privileged -v $(pwd):/vyos -w /vyos vyos/vyos-build bash
-Intel NIC drivers
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+ # Change to source directory
+ $ cd vyos-1x
-We do not make use of the building Intel NIC drivers except for e1000e. Main
-reason is that the out of tree Intel drivers seem be perform a bit better,
-e.q. have proper receive-side-scaling and multi-queue support.
+ # Build DEB
+ $ dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us -tc -b
-Drivers are build as part of the Kernel Pipeline - read above.
+After a minute or two you will find the generated DEB packages next to the vyos-1x

-Accel-PPP used to be an upstream fork for quite some time but now has been
-converted to make use of the upstream source code and build system.

-It is build as part of the Kernel Pipeline - read above.
+Install
+=======
-hvinfo
-^^^^^^
+To take your newly created package on a test drive you can simply SCP it to a
+running VyOS instance and install the new `*.deb` package over the current
+running one.
-A fork with packaging changes for VyOS is kept at https://github.com/vyos/hvinfo
+Just install using the following commands:
-The original repo is at https://github.com/dmbaturin/hvinfo
+.. code-block:: none
-It's an Ada program and requires GNAT and gprbuild for building, dependencies
-are properly specified so just follow debuild's suggestions.

+There are two flags available to aid in debugging configuration scripts.
+Since configuration loading issues will manifest during boot, the flags are
+passed as kernel boot parameters.
+
+System Startup
+==============
+
+The system startup can be debugged (like loading in the configuration
+file from ``/config/config.boot``. This can be achieve by extending the
+Kernel command-line in the bootloader.
+
+Kernel
+------
+
+* ``vyos-debug`` - Adding the parameter to the linux boot line will produce
+ timing results for the execution of scripts during commit. If one is seeing
+ an unexpected delay during manual or boot commit, this may be useful in
+ identifying bottlenecks. The internal flag is ``VYOS_DEBUG``, and is found
+ in vyatta-cfg_. Output is directed to ``/var/log/vyatta/cfg-stdout.log``.
+
+* ``vyos-config-debug`` - During development, coding errors can lead to a
+ commit failure on boot, possibly resulting in a failed initialization of the
+ CLI. In this circumstance, the kernel boot parameter ``vyos-config-debug``
+ will ensure access to the system as user ``vyos``, and will log a Python
+ stack trace to the file ``/tmp/boot-config-trace``.
+ File ``boot-config-trace`` will generate only if config loaded with a failure status.
+
+Live System
+===========
+
+A number of flags can be set up to change the behaviour of VyOS at runtime.
+These flags can be toggled using either environment variables or creating
+files.
+
+For each feature, a file called ``vyos.feature.debug`` can be created to
+toggle the feature on. If a parameter is required it can be placed inside
+the file as its first line.
+
+The file can be placed in ``/tmp`` for one time debugging (as the file
+will be removed on reboot) or placed in '/config' to stay permanently.
+
+For example, ``/tmp/vyos.ifconfig.debug`` can be created to enable
+interface debugging.
+
+It is also possible to set up the debugging using environment variables.
+In that case, the name will be (in uppercase) VYOS_FEATURE_DEBUG.
+
+For example running, ``export VYOS_IFCONFIG_DEBUG=""`` on your vash,
+will have the same effect as ``touch /tmp/vyos.ifconfig.debug``.
+
+* ``ifconfig`` - Once set, all commands used, and their responses received
+ from the OS, will be presented on the screen for inspection.
+
+* ``command`` - Once set, all commands used, and their responses received
+ from the OS, will be presented on the screen for inspection.
+
+* ``developer`` - Should a command fail, instead of printing a message to the
+ user explaining how to report issues, the python interpreter will start a
+ PBD post-mortem session to allow the developer to debug the issue. As the
+ debugger will wait from input from the developer, it has the capacity to
+ prevent a router to boot and therefore should only be permanently set up
+ on production if you are ready to see the OS fail to boot.
+
+* ``log`` - In some rare cases, it may be useful to see what the OS is doing,
+ including during boot. This option sends all commands used by VyOS to a
+ file. The default file is ``/tmp/full-log`` but it can be changed.
+
+Config Migration Scripts
+------------------------
+
+When writing a new configuration migrator it may happen that you see an error
+when you try to invoke it manually on a development system. This error will
+look like:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ vyos@vyos:~$ /opt/vyatta/etc/config-migrate/migrate/ssh/0-to-1 /tmp/config.boot
+ Traceback (most recent call last):
+ File "/opt/vyatta/etc/config-migrate/migrate/ssh/0-to-1", line 31, in <module>
+ config = ConfigTree(config_file)
+ File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/vyos/configtree.py", line 134, in __init__
+ raise ValueError("Failed to parse config: {0}".format(msg))
+ ValueError: Failed to parse config: Syntax error on line 240, character 1: Invalid syntax.
+
+The reason is that the configuration migration backend is rewritten and uses
+a new form of "magic string" which is applied on demand when real config
+migration is run on boot. When runnint individual migrators for testing,
+you need to convert the "magic string" on your own by:
+
+.. code-block:: none
+
+ vyos@vyos:~$ /usr/libexec/vyos/run-config-migration.py --virtual --set-vintage vyos /tmp/config.boot
+
+Configuration Error on System Boot
+----------------------------------
+
+Beeing brave and running the latest rolling releases will sometimes trigger
+bugs due to corner cases we missed in our design. Those bugs should be filed
+via Phabricator_ but you can help us to narrow doen the issue. Login to your
+VyOS system and change into configuration mode by typing ``configure``. Now
+re-load your boot configuration by simply typing ``load`` followed by return.
+
+You shoudl now see a Python backtrace which will help us to handle the issue,
+please attach it to the Phabricator_ task.
+
+Boot Timing
+-----------
+
+During the migration and extensive rewrite of functionality from Perl into
+Python a significant increase in the overall system boottime was noticed. The
+system boot time can be analysed and a graph can be generated in the end which
+shows in detail who called whom during the system startup phase.
+
+This is done by utilizing the ``systemd-bootchart`` package which is now
+installed by default on the VyOS 1.3 (equuleus) branch. The configuration is
+also versioned so we get comparable results. ``systemd-bootchart`` is configured
+using this file: bootchart.conf_
+
+To enable boot time graphing change the Kernel commandline and add the folowing
+string: ``init=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-bootchart``
+
+This can also be done permanently by changing ``/boot/grub/grub.cfg``.
+
+Priorities
+==========
+
+VyOS CLI is all about priorities. Every CLI node has a corresponding ``node.def``
+file and possibly an attached script that is executed when the node is present.
+Nodes can have a priority, and on system bootup - or any other ``commit`` to the
+config all scripts are executed from lowest to higest priority. This is good as
+this gives a deterministic behavior.
+
+To debug issues in priorities or to see what's going on in the background you can
+use the ``/opt/vyatta/sbin/priority.pl`` script which lists to you the execution
+order of the scripts.

-also versioned so we get comparable results. ``systemd-bootchart`` is configured
-using this file: bootchart.conf_
-

-Priorities
-==========
-
-VyOS CLI is all about priorities. Every CLI node has a corresponding ``node.def``
-file and possibly an attached script that is executed when the node is present.
-Nodes can have a priority, and on system bootup - or any other ``commit`` to the
-config all scripts are executed from lowest to higest priority. This is good as
-this gives a deterministic behavior.
-
-To debug issues in priorities or to see what's going on in the background you can
-use the ``/opt/vyatta/sbin/priority.pl`` script which lists to you the execution
-order of the scripts.

+
+Upstream packages
+-----------------
+
+Many base system packages are pulled straight from Debian's main and contrib
+repositories, but there are exceptions.
+
+This chapter lists those exceptions and gives you a brief overview what we
+have done on those packages. If you only want to build yourself a fresh ISO
+you can completely skip this chapter. It may become interesting once you have
+a VyOS deep dive.
+
+vyos-netplug
+^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Due to issues in the upstream version that sometimes set interfaces down, a
+modified version is used.
+
+The source is located at https://github.com/vyos/vyos-netplug
+
+In the future, we may switch to using systemd infrastructure instead. Building
+it doesn't require a special procedure.
+
+keepalived
+^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Keepalived normally isn't updated to newer feature releases between Debian
+versions, so we are building it from source.
+
+Debian does keep their package in git, but it's upstream tarball imported into
+git without its original commit history. To be able to merge new tags in, we
+keep a fork of the upstream repository with packaging files imported from
+Debian at https://github.com/vyos/keepalived-upstream
+
+strongswan
+^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Our StrongSWAN build differs from the upstream:
+
+- strongswan-nm package build is disabled since we don't use NetworkManager
+- Patches for DMVPN are merged in
+
+The source is at https://github.com/vyos/vyos-strongswan
+
+DMVPN patches are added by this commit:
+https://github.com/vyos/vyos-strongswan/commit/1cf12b0f2f921bfc51affa3b81226
+
+Our op mode scripts use the python-vici module, which is not included in
+Debian's build, and isn't quite easy to integrate in that build. For this
+reason we debianize that module by hand now, using this procedure:
+
+0. Install https://pypi.org/project/stdeb/
+1. `cd vyos-strongswan`
+2. `./configure --enable-python-eggs`
+3. `cd src/libcharon/plugins/vici/python`
+4. `make`
+5. `python3 setup.py --command-packages=stdeb.command bdist_deb`
+
+The package ends up in deb_dist dir.
+
+ppp
+^^^
+
+Properly renaming PPTP and L2TP interfaces to pptpX and l2tpX from generic and
+non-informative pppX requires a patch that is neither in the upstream nor in
+Debian.
+
+We keep a fork of Debian's repo at https://github.com/vyos/ppp-debian
+
+The patches for pre-up renaming are:
+
+* https://github.com/vyos/ppp-debian/commit/e728180026a051d2a96396276e7e4ae
+* https://github.com/vyos/ppp-debian/commit/f29ba8d9ebb043335a096d70bcd07e9
+
+Additionally, there's a patch for reopening the log file to better support
+logging to files, even though it's less essential:
+https://github.com/vyos/ppp-debian/commit/dd2ebd5cdcddb40230dc4cc43d374055f
+
+The patches were written by Stephen Hemminger back in the Vyatta times.
+
+mdns-repeater
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+This package doesn't exist in Debian. A debianized fork is kept at
+https://github.com/vyos/mdns-repeater
+
+No special build procedure is required.
+
+udp-broadcast-relay
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+This package doesn't exist in Debian. A debianized fork is kept at
+https://github.com/vyos/udp-broadcast-relay
+
+No special build procedure is required.
+
+Linux kernel
+^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+In the past a fork of the Kernel source code was kept at the well-known
+location of https://github.com/vyos/vyos-kernel - where it is kept for history.
+
+Nowadays the Kernel we use is the upstream source code which is patched
+with two additional patches from the good old Vyatta times which never made it
+into the mainstream Kernel. The patches can be found here:
+https://github.com/vyos/vyos-build-kernel/tree/master/patches/kernel and are
+automatically applied to the Kernel by the Jenkins Pipeline which is used to
+generate the Kernel binaries.
+
+The Pipeline script not only builds the Kernel with the configuration named
+``x86_64_vyos_defconfig`` which is located in the vyos-build-kernel repository,
+too - but in addition also builds some Intel out-of-tree drivers, WireGuard
+(as long it is not upstreamed) and Accel-PPP.
+
+The ``Jenkinsfile`` tries to be as verbose as possible on each individual build
+step.
+
+Linux Firmware
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+More and more hardware cards require an additional firmware which is not open
+source. The Kernel community hosts a special linux-firmware Git repository
+with all available binary files which can be loaded by the Kernel.
+
+The ``vyos-build`` repository fetches a specific commit of the linux-firmware
+repository and embeds those binaries into the resulting ISO image. This step is
+done in the ``data/live-build-config/hooks/live/40-linux-firmware.chroot`` file.
+
+If the firmware needs to be updated it is sufficient to just exchange the Git
+commit id we reference in our build.
+
+Intel NIC drivers
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+We do not make use of the building Intel NIC drivers except for e1000e. Main
+reason is that the out of tree Intel drivers seem be perform a bit better,
+e.q. have proper receive-side-scaling and multi-queue support.
+
+Drivers are build as part of the Kernel Pipeline - read above.
+
+Accel-PPP
+^^^^^^^^^
+
+Accel-PPP used to be an upstream fork for quite some time but now has been
+converted to make use of the upstream source code and build system.
+
+It is build as part of the Kernel Pipeline - read above.
+
+hvinfo
+^^^^^^
+
+A fork with packaging changes for VyOS is kept at https://github.com/vyos/hvinfo
+
+The original repo is at https://github.com/dmbaturin/hvinfo
+
+It's an Ada program and requires GNAT and gprbuild for building, dependencies
+are properly specified so just follow debuild's suggestions.

+Multicast
+#########
+
+VyOS facilitates IP Multicast by supporting **PIM Sparse Mode**,
+**IGMP** and **IGMP-Proxy**.
+
+
+************
+PIM and IGMP
+************
+
+PIM (Protocol Independent Multicast) must be configured in every
+interface of every participating router. Every router must also have the
+location of the Rendevouz Point manually configured. Then,
+unidirectional shared trees rooted at the Rendevouz Point will
+automatically be built for multicast distribution.
+
+Traffic from multicast sources will go to the Rendezvous Point, and
+receivers will pull it from a shared tree using IGMP (Internet Group
+Management Protocol).
+
+Multicast receivers will talk IGMP to their local router, so, besides
+having PIM configured in every router, IGMP must also be configured in
+any router where there could be a multicast receiver locally connected.
+
+VyOS supports both IGMP version 2 and version 3 (which allows
+source-specific multicast).
+
+
+Example
+=======
+
+In the following example we can see a basic multicast setup:

+
+
+
+
+Basic commands
+==============
+
+These are the commands for a basic setup.
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set protocols pim interface <interface-name>
+
+ Use this command to enable PIM in the selected interface so that it
+ can communicate with PIM neighbors.
+
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set protocols pim rp address <address> group <multicast-address/mask-bits>
+
+ Use this comand to manually configure a Rendevouz Point for PIM so
+ that join messages can be sent there. Set the Rendevouz Point address
+ and the matching prefix of group ranges covered. These values must
+ be shared with every router participating in the PIM network.
+
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set protocols igmp interface eth1
+
+ Use this command to configure an interface with IGMP so that PIM can
+ receive IGMP reports and query on the selected interface. By defaul
+ IGMP version 3 will be used.
+
+
+
+Tuning commands
+===============
+
+You can also tune multicast with the following commands.
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set protocols pim interface <interface> dr-priority <value>
+
+ Use this PIM command in the selected interface to set the priority
+ (1-4294967295) you want to influence in the election of a node to
+ become the Designated Router for a LAN segment. The default priority
+ is 1, set a higher value to give the router more preference in the
+ DR election process.
+
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set protocols pim int <interface> hello <seconds>
+
+ Use this command to configure the PIM hello interval in seconds
+ (1-180) for the selected interface.
+
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set protocols pim rp keep-alive-timer <seconds>
+
+ Use this PIM command to modify the the time out value (31-60000
+ seconds) for an `(S,G) <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7761#section-4.1>`_
+ flow. 31 seconds is chosen for a lower bound as some hardware
+ platforms cannot see data flowing in better than 30 second chunks.
+
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set protocols igmp interface <interface> join <multicast-address> source <IP-address>
+
+ Use this command to allow the selected interface join a multicast
+ group defining the multicast address you want to join and the source
+ IP address too.
+
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set protocols igmp interface <interface query-interval <seconds>
+
+ Use this command to configure in the selected interface the IGMP
+ host query interval (1-1800) in seconds that PIM will use.
+
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set protocols igmp interface <interface query-max-response-time <deciseconds>
+
+ Use this command to configure in the selected interface the IGMP
+ query response timeout value (10-250) in deciseconds. If a report is
+ not returned in the specified time, it will be asumed the `(S,G) or
+ (*,G) state <https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7761#section-4.1>`_ has
+ timed out.
+
+
+.. cfgcmd:: set protocols igmp interface <interface> version <version-number>
+
+ Use this command to define in the selected interface whether you
+ choose IGMP version 2 or 3. The default value is 3.
+

Troubleshooting
-===============
+###############
Sometimes things break or don't work as expected. This section describes
several troubleshooting tools provided by VyOS that can help when something
goes wrong.
-Basic Connectivity Verification
--------------------------------
+******************
+Connectivity Tests
+******************
+
+Basic Connectivity Tests
+========================
Verifying connectivity can be done with the familiar `ping` and `traceroute`
commands. The options for each are shown (the options for each command were
displayed using the built-in help as described in the :ref:`cli`
section and are omitted from the output here):
-.. code-block:: none
+.. opcmd:: ping <destination>
- vyos@vyos:~$ ping
- Possible completions:
- <hostname> Send Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo request
- <x.x.x.x>
- <h:h:h:h:h:h:h:h>
+ Send ICMP echo requests to destination host. There are multiple options to
+ ping, inkl. VRF support.
-Several options are available when more extensive troubleshooting is needed:
