Build Process

The original installation documentation is here. I strongly recommend reading through it in order to understand where the DETER install process is evolving from:

Updating the DETER meta packages

Since I have generated these images, I have added a few more packages to the meta package for the deter install and bumped the revision. Once you create a bootstrap user and have the repository cloned onto the image, updating should be painless:

 cd testbed/install/ports                                                                                                    
 sudo make install                                                                                                           
 cd /usr/ports/misc/instant-deter                                                                                            
 sudo make deinstall                                                                                                         
 sudo make reinstall                                                                                                         

Building the testbed software

Create a build user of your choice on boss and users. If you are unfamiliar with FreeBSD, the process for creating users is laid out in the FreeBSD handbook.

Login as this user and clone the testbed repository:

su -l <builduser>
git clone tardis.deterlab.net:/var/local/git/testbed

Create the object tree directory.

mkdir ~<builduser>/obj

Now go into the ~<builduser>/obj directory.

../testbed/configure --with-TBDEFS=/home/jjh/testbed/defs-<your defs>

This will create the object tree for the testbed.
