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.

.. _build_docker:

Docker
======

Installing Docker_ and prerequisites:


`On Debian`_

.. code-block:: bash

  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get install -y apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl gnupg2 software-properties-common
  curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/debian/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
  sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/debian $(lsb_release -cs) stable"
  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get install -y docker-ce

`On Ubuntu`_

.. code-block:: bash

    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get -y install \
      ca-certificates \
      curl \
      gnupg \
      lsb-release
    curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /usr/share/keyrings/docker-archive-keyring.gpg
    echo \
      "deb [arch=$(dpkg --print-architecture) signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/docker-archive-keyring.gpg] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \
      $(lsb_release -cs) stable" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list > /dev/null
    sudo apt-get update
    sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io


`On Fedora`_

.. code-block:: bash

  sudo dnf -y install dnf-plugins-core
  sudo dnf config-manager \
      --add-repo \
      https://download.docker.com/linux/fedora/docker-ce.repo
  sudo dnf install -y docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io

`On CentOS and similar`_

.. code-block:: bash

    sudo yum install -y yum-utils
    sudo yum-config-manager \
        --add-repo \
        https://download.docker.com/linux/centos/docker-ce.repo
    sudo yum install -y docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io


To be able to use Docker_ without ``sudo``, the current non-root user must be
added to the ``docker`` group by calling: ``sudo usermod -aG docker
yourusername``.

.. hint:: Doing so grants privileges equivalent to the ``root`` user! It is
   recommended to remove the non-root user from the ``docker`` group after
   building the VyOS ISO. See also `Docker as non-root`_.

.. 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 Container
---------------

The container can built by hand or by fetching the pre-built one from DockerHub.
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 manually download the container from DockerHub, run:

.. code-block:: none

  $ docker pull vyos/vyos-build:crux       # For VyOS 1.2
  $ docker pull vyos/vyos-build:equuleus   # For VyOS 1.3
  $ 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)
  $ git clone -b equuleus --single-branch https://github.com/vyos/vyos-build
  # For VyOS 1.4 (sagitta, current)
  $ git clone -b current --single-branch https://github.com/vyos/vyos-build

  $ cd vyos-build
  $ docker build -t vyos/vyos-build:crux docker      # For VyOS 1.2
  $ docker build -t vyos/vyos-build:equuleus docker  # For VyOS 1.3
  $ docker build -t vyos/vyos-build:current docker   # For rolling release

.. note:: Since VyOS has switched to Debian (11) Bullseye in its ``current``
   branch, you will require individual container for `current`, `equuleus` and
   `crux` builds.

Tips and Tricks
---------------

You can create yourself some handy Bash aliases to always launch the latest -
per release train (`current`, `equuleus` or `crux`) - container. 
Add the following to your ``.bash_aliases`` file:

.. code-block:: none

  # latest release
  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'

  # v1.3
  alias vybld_equuleus='docker pull vyos/vyos-build:equuleus && 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:equuleus bash'

  # v1.2
  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 three new aliases ``vybld``, ``vybld_equuleus``, and 
``vybld_crux`` to spawn your development containers in your current working 
directory.

.. note:: Some VyOS packages (namely vyos-1x) come with build-time tests which
   verify some of the internal library calls that they work as expected. Those
   tests are carried out through the Python Unittest module. If you wan't to
   build the ``vyos-1x`` package (which is our main development package) 
   you need to start your Docker container using the following argument:
   ``--sysctl net.ipv6.conf.lo.disable_ipv6=0``, otherwise those tests 
   will fail.

.. _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)
- Debian Bullseye for VyOS 1.4 (sagitta, 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)
  $ git clone -b equuleus --single-branch https://github.com/vyos/vyos-build
  
  # For VyOS 1.4 (sagitta, current)
  $ git clone -b current --single-branch https://github.com/vyos/vyos-build

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 described in :ref:`build_iso`.


.. _build_iso:

*********
Build ISO
*********

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 `equuleus`.

.. 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)
  $ git clone -b equuleus --single-branch https://github.com/vyos/vyos-build
  
  # For VyOS 1.4 (sagitta, current)
  $ git clone -b current --single-branch https://github.com/vyos/vyos-build

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)
  $ docker run --rm -it --privileged -v $(pwd):/vyos -w /vyos vyos/vyos-build:equuleus bash
  
  # For VyOS 1.4 (sagitta, current)
  $ docker run --rm -it --privileged -v $(pwd):/vyos -w /vyos vyos/vyos-build:current bash

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 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.

.. hint:: Building VyOS on Windows WSL2 with Docker integrated into WSL2 will
   work like a charm. No problems are known so far!

.. _build source:


.. _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

  $ ./configure --help
  usage: configure [-h] [--architecture ARCHITECTURE] [--build-by BUILD_BY]
                   [--debian-mirror DEBIAN_MIRROR]

    --custom-package CUSTOM_PACKAGE
                          Custom package to install from repositories

.. _build_custom_packages:

Linux Kernel
============

The Linux kernel used by VyOS is heavily tied to the ISO build process. The
file ``data/defaults.json`` hosts a JSON definition of the kernel version used
``kernel_version`` and the ``kernel_flavor`` of the kernel which represents the
kernel's LOCAL_VERSION. Both together form the kernel version variable in the
system:

.. code-block:: none

  vyos@vyos:~$ uname -r
  5.10.128-amd64-vyos

.. note::
   ``5.10.128-amd64-vyos`` represents the kernel version at the time the
   documentation was updated on July 5, 2022. It does not reflect the version
   used in the latest release.

Other packages (e.g. vyos-1x) add dependencies to the ISO build procedure on
e.g. the wireguard-modules package which itself adds a dependency on the kernel
version used due to the module it ships. This may change (for WireGuard) in
future kernel releases but as long as we have out-of-tree modules.

* WireGuard
* Accel-PPP
* Intel NIC drivers
* Inter QAT

Each of those modules holds a dependency on the kernel version and if you are
lucky enough to receive an ISO build error which sounds like:

.. code-block:: none

  I: Create initramfs if it does not exist.
  Extra argument '4.19.146-amd64-vyos'
  Usage: update-initramfs {-c|-d|-u} [-k version] [-v] [-b directory]
  Options:
   -k version     Specify kernel version or 'all'
   -c             Create a new initramfs
   -u             Update an existing initramfs
   -d             Remove an existing initramfs
   -b directory   Set alternate boot directory
   -v             Be verbose
  See update-initramfs(8) for further details.
  E: config/hooks/live/17-gen_initramfs.chroot failed (exit non-zero). You should check for errors.

The most obvious reasons could be:

* ``vyos-build`` repo is outdated, please ``git pull`` to update to the latest
  release kernel version from us.

* You have your own custom kernel `*.deb` packages in the `packages` folder but
  neglected to create all required out-of tree modules like Accel-PPP,
  WireGuard, Intel QAT, Intel NIC

Building The Kernel
-------------------

The kernel build is quite easy, most of the required steps can be found in the
``vyos-build/packages/linux-kernel/Jenkinsfile`` but we will walk you through
it.

Clone the kernel source to `vyos-build/packages/linux-kernel/`:

.. code-block:: none

  $ cd vyos-build/packages/linux-kernel/
  $ git clone https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git

Check out the required kernel version - see ``vyos-build/data/defaults.json``
file (example uses kernel 4.19.146):

.. code-block:: none

  $ cd vyos-build/packages/linux-kernel/linux
  $ git checkout v4.19.146
  Checking out files: 100% (61536/61536), done.
  Note: checking out 'v4.19.146'.

  You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental
  changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this
  state without impacting any branches by performing another checkout.

  If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may
  do so (now or later) by using -b with the checkout command again. Example:

    git checkout -b <new-branch-name>

  HEAD is now at 015e94d0e37b Linux 4.19.146

Now we can use the helper script ``build-kernel.sh`` which does all the
necessary voodoo by applying required patches from the
`vyos-build/packages/linux-kernel/patches` folder, copying our kernel
configuration ``x86_64_vyos_defconfig`` to the right location, and finally
building the Debian packages.

.. note:: Building the kernel will take some time depending on the speed and
   quantity of your CPU/cores and disk speed. Expect 20 minutes
   (or even longer) on lower end hardware.

In the end you will be presented with the kernel binary packages which you can
then use in your custom ISO build process, by placing all the `*.deb` files in
the vyos-build/packages folder where they will be used automatically when
building VyOS as documented above.

Firmware
^^^^^^^^

If you upgrade your kernel or include new drivers you may need new firmware.
Build a new ``vyos-linux-firmware`` package with the included helper scripts.

.. code-block:: none

  $ cd vyos-build/packages/linux-kernel
  $ git clone https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git
  $ ./build-linux-firmware.sh
  $ cp vyos-linux-firmware_*.deb ../

This tries to automatically detect which blobs are needed based on which drivers
were built. If it fails to find the correct files you can add them manually to
``vyos-build/packages/linux-kernel/build-linux-firmware.sh``:

.. code-block:: bash

  ADD_FW_FILES="iwlwifi* ath11k/QCA6390/*/*.bin"


Building Out-Of-Tree Modules
----------------------------

Building the kernel is one part, but now you also need to build the required
out-of-tree modules so everything is lined up and the ABIs match. To do so,
you can again take a look at ``vyos-build/packages/linux-kernel/Jenkinsfile``
to see all of the required modules and their selected versions. We will show
you how to build all the current required modules.

WireGuard
^^^^^^^^^

First, clone the source code and check out the appropriate version by running:

.. code-block:: none

  $ cd vyos-build/packages/linux-kernel
  $ git clone https://salsa.debian.org/debian/wireguard-linux-compat.git
  $ cd wireguard-linux-compat
  $ git checkout debian/1.0.20200712-1_bpo10+1

We again make use of a helper script and some patches to make the build work.
Just run the following command:

.. code-block:: none

  $ cd vyos-build/packages/linux-kernel
  $ ./build-wireguard-modules.sh
  I: Apply WireGuard patch: /vyos/packages/linux-kernel/patches/wireguard-linux-compat/0001-Debian-build-wireguard-modules-package.patch

After compiling the packages you will find yourself the newly generated `*.deb`
binaries in ``vyos-build/packages/linux-kernel`` from which you can copy them
to the ``vyos-build/packages`` folder for inclusion during the ISO build.

Accel-PPP
^^^^^^^^^

First, clone the source code and check out the appropriate version by running:

.. code-block:: none

  $ cd vyos-build/packages/linux-kernel
  $ git clone https://github.com/accel-ppp/accel-ppp.git

We again make use of a helper script and some patches to make the build work.
Just run the following command:

.. code-block:: none

  $ ./build-accel-ppp.sh

  CMake Deprecation Warning at CMakeLists.txt:3 (cmake_policy):
    The OLD behavior for policy CMP0003 will be removed from a future version
    of CMake.

    The cmake-policies(7) manual explains that the OLD behaviors of all
    policies are deprecated and that a policy should be set to OLD only under
    specific short-term circumstances.  Projects should be ported to the NEW
    behavior and not rely on setting a policy to OLD.

Intel NIC
^^^^^^^^^

The Intel NIC drivers do not come from a Git repository, instead we just fetch
the tarballs from our mirror and compile them.

Simply use our wrapper script to build all of the driver modules.

Packages
========

If you are brave enough to build yourself an ISO image containing any modified
package from our GitHub organisation - this is the place to be.

Any "modified" package may refer to an altered version of e.g. vyos-1x package
that you would like to test before filing a pull request on GitHub.

Building an ISO with any customized package is in no way different then
building a regular (customized or not) ISO image. Simply place your modified
`*.deb` package inside the `packages` folder within `vyos-build`. The build
process will then pickup your custom package and integrate it into your ISO.

Troubleshooting
===============

Debian APT is not very verbose when it comes to errors. If your ISO build breaks
for whatever reason and you suspect it's a problem with APT dependencies or
installation you can add this small patch which increases the APT verbosity
during ISO build.

Virtualization Platforms
========================

QEMU
----

Run following command after building the ISO image.

.. code-block:: none

  $ make qemu

VMware
------

Requires ovftool already installed.

Run following command after building the ISO image.

.. code-block:: none

  $ make vmware

********
Packages
********

VyOS itself comes with a bunch of packages that are specific to our system and
thus cannot be found in any Debian mirror. Those packages can be found at the
`VyOS GitHub project`_ in their source format can easily be compiled into
a custom Debian (`*.deb`) 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.

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

  $ git clone https://github.com/vyos/vyos-1x

Build
=====

Launch Docker container and build package

.. code-block:: none

  # For VyOS 1.3 (equuleus)
  $ docker run --rm -it --privileged -v $(pwd):/vyos -w /vyos vyos/vyos-build:equuleus bash

  # Change to source directory
  $ cd vyos-1x

  # Build DEB
  $ dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us -tc -b

After a minute or two you will find the generated DEB packages next to the
vyos-1x source directory:

.. code-block:: none

  # ls -al ../vyos-1x*.deb
  -rw-r--r-- 1 vyos_bld vyos_bld 567420 Aug  3 12:01 ../vyos-1x_1.3dev0-1847-gb6dcb0a8_all.deb
  -rw-r--r-- 1 vyos_bld vyos_bld   3808 Aug  3 12:01 ../vyos-1x-vmware_1.3dev0-1847-gb6dcb0a8_amd64.deb

Install
=======

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.

Just install using the following commands:

.. code-block:: none

  vyos@vyos:~$ dpkg --install /tmp/vyos-1x_1.3dev0-1847-gb6dcb0a8_all.deb
  (Reading database ... 58209 files and directories currently installed.)
  Preparing to unpack .../vyos-1x_1.3dev0-1847-gb6dcb0a8_all.deb ...
  Unpacking vyos-1x (1.3dev0-1847-gb6dcb0a8) over (1.3dev0-1847-gb6dcb0a8) ...
  Setting up vyos-1x (1.3dev0-1847-gb6dcb0a8) ...
  Processing triggers for rsyslog (8.1901.0-1) ...

You can also place the generated `*.deb` into your ISO build environment to
include it in a custom iso, see :ref:`build_custom_packages` for more
information.

.. 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.
