Datadog Agent - Omnibus Project

This is an Omnibus project to build the Datadog Agent packages.

It's using a fork of the official 4.0.0 release of the Omnibus project.

Builds are run in docker containers with Circleci. See:

• https://github.com/DataDog/docker-dd-agent-build-deb-i386
• https://github.com/DataDog/docker-dd-agent-build-rpm-i386
• https://github.com/DataDog/docker-dd-agent-build-deb-x64
• https://github.com/DataDog/docker-dd-agent-build-rpm-x64

Build a package locally

• Install Docker

• Run the following script with the desired parameters

PLATFORM="deb-x64" # must be in "deb-x64", "deb-i386", "rpm-x64", "rpm-i386"
AGENT_BRANCH="master" # Branch of dd-agent repo to use, default "master"
OMNIBUS_BRANCH="master" # Branch of dd-agent-omnibus repo to use, default "master"
AGENT_VERSION="5.4.0" # default to the latest tag on that branch
LOG_LEVEL="debug" # default to "info"
LOCAL_AGENT_REPO="~/dd-agent" # Path to a local repo of the agent to build from. Defaut is not set and the build will be done against the github repo

# The passphrase of the key you want to use to sign your .rpm package (if
# building an RPM package). If you don't set this variable, the RPM won't be
# signed but the build should succeed. Note that you must also mount a volume
# under /keys and bind it to a folder containing an RPM-SIGNING-KEY.private
# file containing your exported signing key. Finally, be aware that the
# package_maintainer DSL defined in config/projects/datadog_agent.rb and the
# full key name (My Name (comments) <my@email.com>) must match.
RPM_SIGNING_PASSPHRASE="my_super_secret_passphrase"

mkdir -p pkg
mkdir -p "cache/$PLATFORM"
docker run --name "dd-agent-build-$PLATFORM" \
  -e OMNIBUS_BRANCH=$OMNIBUS_BRANCH \
  -e LOG_LEVEL=$LOG_LEVEL \
  -e AGENT_BRANCH=$AGENT_BRANCH \
  -e AGENT_VERSION=$AGENT_VERSION \
  -e RPM_SIGNING_PASSPHRASE=$RPM_SIGNING_PASSPHRASE \
  -e $LOCAL_AGENT_REPO=/dd-agent-repo # Only to use if you want to build from a local repo \
  -v `pwd`/pkg:/dd-agent-omnibus/pkg \
  -v `pwd`/keys:/keys \
  -v "`pwd`/cache/$PLATFORM:/var/cache/omnibus" \
  -v $LOCAL_AGENT_REPO:/dd-agent-repo # Only to use if you want to build from a local repo \
  "datadog/docker-dd-agent-build-$PLATFORM"

# Cleanup (necessary to launch another build)
docker rm dd-agent-build-$PLATFORM

Build on Mac OS X

The Mac build platform should have:

• Xcode installed (type git in a terminal),
• Go installed,
• sudoer rights for the build user,
• Bundler installed: sudo gem install bundler,
• Important directories created: sudo mkdir -p /var/cache/omnibus /opt/datadog-agent,
• Owned by the right user: sudo chown $USER:nogroup /var/cache/omnibus /opt/datadog-agent.
• Xcode license accepted (to sign package) sudo xcodebuild -license
• Datadog signing key

Then run:

AGENT_BRANCH=<YOUR_AGENT_BRANCH> OMNIBUS_BRANCH=<YOUR_OMNIBUS_BRANCH> OMNIBUS_SOFTWARE_BRANCH=<YOUR_OMNIBUS_SOFTWARE_BRANCH> sh omnibus_build.sh

The env vars have the same meaning as the Dockerized build above. Omitting them will cause the default of master to be used for all 3
