Introduction
************
Toaster is a web interface to the Yocto Project's
:term:`OpenEmbedded Build System`. The interface
enables you to configure and run your builds. Information about builds
is collected and stored in a database. You can use Toaster to configure
and start builds on multiple remote build servers.
Toaster Features
================
Toaster allows you to configure and run builds, and it provides
extensive information about the build process.
- *Configure and Run Builds:* You can use the Toaster web interface to
configure and start your builds. Builds started using the Toaster web
interface are organized into projects. When you create a project, you
are asked to select a release, or version of the build system you
want to use for the project builds. As shipped, Toaster supports
Yocto Project releases 1.8 and beyond. With the Toaster web
interface, you can:
- Browse layers listed in the various
:ref:`layer sources <toaster-manual/reference:layer source>`
that are available in your project (e.g. the OpenEmbedded Layer Index at
:oe_layerindex:`/`).
- Browse images, recipes, and machines provided by those layers.
- Import your own layers for building.
- Add and remove layers from your configuration.
- Set configuration variables.
- Select a target or multiple targets to build.
- Start your builds.
Toaster also allows you to configure and run your builds from the
command line, and switch between the command line and the web
interface at any time. Builds started from the command line appear
within a special Toaster project called "Command line builds".
- *Information About the Build Process:* Toaster also records extensive
information about your builds. Toaster collects data for builds you
start from the web interface and from the command line as long as
Toaster is running.
.. note::
You must start Toaster before the build or it will not collect
build data.
With Toaster you can:
- See what was built (recipes and packages) and what packages were
installed into your final image.
- Browse the directory structure of your image.
- See the value of all variables in your build configuration, and
which files set each value.
- Examine error, warning, and trace messages to aid in debugging.
- See information about the BitBake tasks executed and reused during
your build, including those that used shared state.
- See dependency relationships between recipes, packages, and tasks.
- See performance information such as build time, task time, CPU
usage, and disk I/O.
For an overview of Toaster, see this
`introduction video <https://youtu.be/BlXdOYLgPxA>`__.
Installation Options
====================
You can set Toaster up to run as a local instance or as a shared hosted
service.
When Toaster is set up as a local instance, all the components reside on
a single build host. Fundamentally, a local instance of Toaster is
suited for a single user developing on a single build host.

:width: 70%
Toaster as a hosted service is suited for multiple users developing
across several build hosts. When Toaster is set up as a hosted service,
its components can be spread across several machines:

Concepts and Reference
**********************
In order to configure and use Toaster, you should understand some
concepts and have some basic command reference material available. This
final chapter provides conceptual information on layer sources,
releases, and JSON configuration files. Also provided is a quick look at
some useful ``manage.py`` commands that are Toaster-specific.
Information on ``manage.py`` commands is available across the Web and
this manual by no means attempts to provide a command
comprehensive reference.
Layer Source
============
In general, a "layer source" is a source of information about existing
layers. In particular, we are concerned with layers that you can use
with the Yocto Project and Toaster. This chapter describes a particular
type of layer source called a "layer index."
A layer index is a web application that contains information about a set
of custom layers. A good example of an existing layer index is the
OpenEmbedded Layer Index. A public instance of this layer index exists
at :oe_layerindex:`/`. You can find the code for this
layer index's web application at :yocto_git:`/layerindex-web/`.
When you tie a layer source into Toaster, it can query the layer source
through a :wikipedia:`REST <Representational_state_transfer>`
API, store the information about the layers in the Toaster database, and
then show the information to users. Users are then able to view that
information and build layers from Toaster itself without having to
clone or edit the BitBake layers configuration file ``bblayers.conf``.
Tying a layer source into Toaster is convenient when you have many
custom layers that need to be built on a regular basis by a community of
developers. In fact, Toaster comes pre-configured with the OpenEmbedded
Metadata Index.
.. note::
You do not have to use a layer source to use Toaster. Tying into a
layer source is optional.
Setting Up and Using a Layer Source
-----------------------------------
To use your own layer source, you need to set up the layer source and
then tie it into Toaster. This section describes how to tie into a layer
index in a manner similar to the way Toaster ties into the OpenEmbedded
Metadata Index.
Understanding Your Layers
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The obvious first step for using a layer index is to have several custom
layers that developers build and access using the Yocto Project on a
regular basis. This set of layers needs to exist and you need to be
familiar with where they reside. You will need that information when you
set up the code for the web application that "hooks" into your set of
layers.
For general information on layers, see the
":ref:`overview-manual/yp-intro:the yocto project layer model`"
section in the Yocto Project Overview and Concepts Manual. For information on how
to create layers, see the ":ref:`dev-manual/layers:understanding and creating layers`"
section in the Yocto Project Development Tasks Manual.
Configuring Toaster to Hook Into Your Layer Index
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you want Toaster to use your layer index, you must host the web
application in a server to which Toaster can connect. You also need to
give Toaster the information about your layer index. In other words, you
have to configure Toaster to use your layer index. This section
describes two methods by which you can configure and use your layer
index.
In the previous section, the code for the OpenEmbedded Metadata Index
(i.e. :oe_layerindex:`/`) was referenced. You can use
this code, which is at :yocto_git:`/layerindex-web/`, as a base to create
your own layer index.
Use the Administration Interface
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Access the administration interface through a browser by entering the
URL of your Toaster instance and adding "``/admin``" to the end of the
URL. As an example, if you are running Toaster locally, use the
following URL::
http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin
The administration interface has a "Layer sources" section that includes
an "Add layer source" button. Click that button and provide the required
information. Make sure you select "layerindex" as the layer source type.
Use the Fixture Feature
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The Django fixture feature overrides the default layer server when you
use it to specify a custom URL. To use the fixture feature, create (or
edit) the file ``bitbake/lib/toaster.orm/fixtures/custom.xml``, and then
set the following Toaster setting to your custom URL:
.. code-block:: xml
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<django-objects version="1.0">
<object model="orm.toastersetting" pk="100">
<field name="name" type="CharField">CUSTOM_LAYERINDEX_SERVER</field>
<field name="value" type="CharField">https://layers.my_organization.org/layerindex/branch/master/layers/</field>
</object>
<django-objects>
When you start Toaster for the first time, or
if you delete the file ``toaster.sqlite`` and restart, the database will
populate cleanly from this layer index server.
Once the information has been updated, verify the new layer information
is available by using the Toaster web interface. To do that, visit the
"All compatible layers" page inside a Toaster project. The layers from
your layer source should be listed there.
If you change the information in your layer index server, refresh the
Toaster database by running the following command:
.. code-block:: shell
$ bitbake/lib/toaster/manage.py lsupdates
If Toaster can reach the API URL, you should see a message telling you that
Toaster is updating the layer source information.
Releases
========
When you create a Toaster project using the web interface, you are asked
to choose a "Release." In the context of Toaster, the term "Release"
refers to a set of layers and a BitBake version the OpenEmbedded build
system uses to build something. As shipped, Toaster is pre-configured
with releases that correspond to Yocto Project release branches.
However, you can modify, delete, and create new releases according to
your needs. This section provides some background information on
releases.
Pre-Configured Releases
-----------------------
As shipped, Toaster is configured to use a specific set of releases. Of
course, you can always configure Toaster to use any release. For
example, you might want your project to build against a specific commit
of any of the "out-of-the-box" releases. Or, you might want your project
to build against different revisions of OpenEmbedded and BitBake.
As shipped, Toaster is configured to work with the following releases:
- *Yocto Project &DISTRO; "&DISTRO_NAME;" or OpenEmbedded "&DISTRO_NAME;":*
This release causes your Toaster projects to build against the head
of the &DISTRO_NAME_NO_CAP; branch at
:yocto_git:`/poky/log/?h=&DISTRO_NAME_NO_CAP;` or
:oe_git:`/openembedded-core/commit/?h=&DISTRO_NAME_NO_CAP;`.
- *Yocto Project "Master" or OpenEmbedded "Master":* This release
causes your Toaster Projects to build against the head of the master
branch, which is where active development takes place, at
:yocto_git:`/poky/log/` or :oe_git:`/openembedded-core/log/`.
- *Local Yocto Project or Local OpenEmbedded:* This release causes your
Toaster Projects to build against the head of the ``poky`` or
``openembedded-core`` clone you have local to the machine running
Toaster.
Configuring Toaster
===================
In order to use Toaster, you must configure the database with the
default content. The following subsections describe various aspects of
Toaster configuration.
Configuring the Workflow
------------------------
The ``bldcontrol/management/commands/checksettings.py`` file controls
workflow configuration. Here is the process to
initially populate this database.
#. The default project settings are set from
``orm/fixtures/settings.xml``.
#. The default project distro and layers are added from
``orm/fixtures/poky.xml`` if poky is installed. If poky is not
installed, they are added from ``orm/fixtures/oe-core.xml``.
#. If the ``orm/fixtures/custom.xml`` file exists, then its values are
added.
#. The layer index is then scanned and added to the database.
Once these steps complete, Toaster is set up and ready to use.
Customizing Pre-Set Data
------------------------
The pre-set data for Toaster is easily customizable. You can create the
``orm/fixtures/custom.xml`` file to customize the values that go into
the database. Customization is additive, and can either extend or
completely replace the existing values.
You use the ``orm/fixtures/custom.xml`` file to change the default
project settings for the machine, distro, file images, and layers. When
creating a new project, you can use the file to define the offered
alternate project release selections. For example, you can add one or
more additional selections that present custom layer sets or distros,
and any other local or proprietary content.
Additionally, you can completely disable the content from the
``oe-core.xml`` and ``poky.xml`` files by defining the section shown
below in the ``settings.xml`` file. For example, this option is
particularly useful if your custom configuration defines fewer releases
or layers than the default fixture files.
The following example sets "name" to "CUSTOM_XML_ONLY" and its value to
"True".
.. code-block:: xml
<object model="orm.toastersetting" pk="99">
<field type="CharField" name="name">CUSTOM_XML_ONLY</field>
<field type="CharField" name="value">True</field>
</object>
Understanding Fixture File Format
---------------------------------
Here is an overview of the file format used by the
``oe-core.xml``, ``poky.xml``, and ``custom.xml`` files.
The following subsections describe each of the sections in the fixture
files, and outline an example section of the XML code. you can use to
help understand this information and create a local ``custom.xml`` file.
Defining the Default Distro and Other Values
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This section defines the default distro value for new projects. By
default, it reserves the first Toaster Setting record "1". The following
demonstrates how to set the project default value for
:term:`DISTRO`:
.. code-block:: xml
<!-- Set the project default value for DISTRO -->
<object model="orm.toastersetting" pk="1">
<field type="CharField" name="name">DEFCONF_DISTRO</field>
<field type="CharField" name="value">poky</field>
</object>
You can override
other default project values by adding additional Toaster Setting
sections such as any of the settings coming from the ``settings.xml``
file. Also, you can add custom values that are included in the BitBake
environment. The "pk" values must be unique. By convention, values that
set default project values have a "DEFCONF" prefix.
Defining BitBake Version
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The following defines which version of BitBake is used for the following
release selection:
.. code-block:: xml
<!-- Bitbake versions which correspond to the metadata release -->
<object model="orm.bitbakeversion" pk="1">
<field type="CharField" name="name">&DISTRO_NAME_NO_CAP;</field>
<field type="CharField" name="giturl">git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky</field>
<field type="CharField" name="branch">&DISTRO_NAME_NO_CAP;</field>
<field type="CharField" name="dirpath">bitbake</field>
</object>
Defining Release
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The following defines the releases when you create a new project:
.. code-block:: xml
<!-- Releases available -->
<object model="orm.release" pk="1">
<field type="CharField" name="name">&DISTRO_NAME_NO_CAP;</field>
<field type="CharField" name="description">Yocto Project &DISTRO; "&DISTRO_NAME;"</field>
<field rel="ManyToOneRel" to="orm.bitbakeversion" name="bitbake_version">1</field>
<field type="CharField" name="branch_name">&DISTRO_NAME_NO_CAP;</field>
<field type="TextField" name="helptext">Toaster will run your builds using the tip of the <a href="https://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/log/?h=&DISTRO_NAME_NO_CAP;">Yocto Project &DISTRO_NAME; branch</a>.</field>
</object>
The "pk" value must match the above respective BitBake version record.
Defining the Release Default Layer Names
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The following defines the default layers for each release:
.. code-block:: xml
<!-- Default project layers for each release -->
<object model="orm.releasedefaultlayer" pk="1">
<field rel="ManyToOneRel" to="orm.release" name="release">1</field>
<field type="CharField" name="layer_name">openembedded-core</field>
</object>
The 'pk' values in the example above should start at "1" and increment
uniquely. You can use the same layer name in multiple releases.
Defining Layer Definitions
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Layer definitions are the most complex. The following defines each of
the layers, and then defines the exact layer version of the layer used
for each respective release. You must have one ``orm.layer`` entry for
each layer. Then, with each entry you need a set of
``orm.layer_version`` entries that connects the layer with each release
that includes the layer. In general all releases include the layer.
.. code-block:: xml
<object model="orm.layer" pk="1">
<field type="CharField" name="name">openembedded-core</field>
<field type="CharField" name="layer_index_url"></field>
<field type="CharField" name="vcs_url">git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky</field>
<field type="CharField" name="vcs_web_url">https://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky</field>
<field type="CharField" name="vcs_web_tree_base_url">https://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/tree/%path%?h=%branch%</field>
<field type="CharField" name="vcs_web_file_base_url">https://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/tree/%path%?h=%branch%</field>
</object>
<object model="orm.layer_version" pk="1">
<field rel="ManyToOneRel" to="orm.layer" name="layer">1</field>
<field type="IntegerField" name="layer_source">0</field>
<field rel="ManyToOneRel" to="orm.release" name="release">1</field>
<field type="CharField" name="branch">&DISTRO_NAME_NO_CAP;</field>
<field type="CharField" name="dirpath">meta</field>
</object> <object model="orm.layer_version" pk="2">
<field rel="ManyToOneRel" to="orm.layer" name="layer">1</field>
<field type="IntegerField" name="layer_source">0</field>
<field rel="ManyToOneRel" to="orm.release" name="release">2</field>
<field type="CharField" name="branch">HEAD</field>
<field type="CharField" name="commit">HEAD</field>
<field type="CharField" name="dirpath">meta</field>
</object>
<object model="orm.layer_version" pk="3">
<field rel="ManyToOneRel" to="orm.layer" name="layer">1</field>
<field type="IntegerField" name="layer_source">0</field>
<field rel="ManyToOneRel" to="orm.release" name="release">3</field>
<field type="CharField" name="branch">master</field>
<field type="CharField" name="dirpath">meta</field>
</object>
The layer "pk" values above must be unique, and typically start at "1". The
layer version "pk" values must also be unique across all layers, and typically
start at "1".
Remote Toaster Monitoring
=========================
Toaster has an API that allows remote management applications to
directly query the state of the Toaster server and its builds in a
machine-to-machine manner. This API uses the
:wikipedia:`REST <Representational_state_transfer>` interface and the
transfer of JSON files. For example, you might monitor
a build inside a container through well supported known HTTP ports in
order to easily access a Toaster server inside the container. In this
example, when you use this direct JSON API, you avoid having web page
parsing against the display the user sees.
Checking Health
---------------
Before you use remote Toaster monitoring, you should do a health check.
To do this, ping the Toaster server using the following call to see if
it is still alive::
http://host:port/health
Be sure to provide values for host and port. If the server is alive, you will
get the response HTML:
.. code-block:: html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head><title>Toaster Health</title></head>
<body>Ok</body>
</html>
Determining Status of Builds in Progress
----------------------------------------
Sometimes it is useful to determine the status of a build in progress.
To get the status of pending builds, use the following call::
http://host:port/toastergui/api/building
Be sure to provide values for host and port. The output is a JSON file that
itemizes all builds in progress. This file includes the time in seconds since
each respective build started as well as the progress of the cloning, parsing,
and task execution. Here is sample output for a build in progress:
.. code-block:: JSON
{"count": 1,
"building": [
{"machine": "beaglebone",
"seconds": "463.869",
"task": "927:2384",
"distro": "poky",
"clone": "1:1",
"id": 2,
"start": "2017-09-22T09:31:44.887Z",
"name": "20170922093200",
"parse": "818:818",
"project": "my_rocko",
"target": "core-image-minimal"
}]
}
The JSON data for this query is returned in a
single line. In the previous example the line has been artificially
split for readability.
Checking Status of Builds Completed
-----------------------------------
Once a build is completed, you get the status when you use the following
call::
http://host:port/toastergui/api/builds
Be sure to provide values for host and port. The output is a JSON file that
itemizes all complete builds, and includes build summary information. Here
is sample output for a completed build:
.. code-block:: JSON
{"count": 1,
"builds": [
{"distro": "poky",
"errors": 0,
"machine": "beaglebone",
"project": "my_rocko",
"stop": "2017-09-22T09:26:36.017Z",
"target": "quilt-native",
"seconds": "78.193",
"outcome": "Succeeded",
"id": 1,
"start": "2017-09-22T09:25:17.824Z",
"warnings": 1,
"name": "20170922092618"
}]
}
The JSON data for this query is returned in a single line. In the
previous example the line has been artificially split for readability.
Determining Status of a Specific Build
--------------------------------------
Sometimes it is useful to determine the status of a specific build. To
get the status of a specific build, use the following call::
http://host:port/toastergui/api/build/ID
Be sure to provide values for
host, port, and ID. You can find the value for ID from the Builds
Completed query. See the ":ref:`toaster-manual/reference:checking status of builds completed`"
section for more information.
The output is a JSON file that itemizes the specific build and includes
build summary information. Here is sample output for a specific
build:
.. code-block:: JSON
{"build":
{"distro": "poky",
"errors": 0,
"machine": "beaglebone",
"project": "my_rocko",
"stop": "2017-09-22T09:26:36.017Z",
"target": "quilt-native",
"seconds": "78.193",
"outcome": "Succeeded",
"id": 1,
"start": "2017-09-22T09:25:17.824Z",
"warnings": 1,
"name": "20170922092618",
"cooker_log": "/opt/user/poky/build-toaster-2/tmp/log/cooker/beaglebone/build_20170922_022607.991.log"
}
}
The JSON data for this query is returned in a single line. In the
previous example the line has been artificially split for readability.
Useful Commands
===============
In addition to the web user interface and the scripts that start and
stop Toaster, command-line commands are available through the ``manage.py``
management script. You can find general documentation on ``manage.py``
at the
`Django <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.2/topics/settings/>`__
site. However, several ``manage.py`` commands have been created that are
specific to Toaster and are used to control configuration and back-end
tasks. You can locate these commands in the
:term:`Source Directory` (e.g. ``poky``) at
``bitbake/lib/manage.py``. This section documents those commands.
.. note::
- When using ``manage.py`` commands given a default configuration,
you must be sure that your working directory is set to the
:term:`Build Directory`. Using ``manage.py`` commands from the
:term:`Build Directory` allows Toaster to find the ``toaster.sqlite``
file, which is located in the :term:`Build Directory`.
- For non-default database configurations, it is possible that you
can use ``manage.py`` commands from a directory other than the
:term:`Build Directory`. To do so, the ``toastermain/settings.py`` file
must be configured to point to the correct database backend.
``buildslist``
--------------
The ``buildslist`` command lists all builds that Toaster has recorded.
Access the command as follows:
.. code-block:: shell
$ bitbake/lib/toaster/manage.py buildslist
The command returns a list, which includes numeric
identifications, of the builds that Toaster has recorded in the current
database.
You need to run the ``buildslist`` command first to identify existing
builds in the database before using the
:ref:`toaster-manual/reference:``builddelete``` command. Here is an
example that assumes default repository and :term:`Build Directory` names:
.. code-block:: shell
$ cd poky/build
$ python ../bitbake/lib/toaster/manage.py buildslist
If your Toaster database had only one build, the above
:ref:`toaster-manual/reference:``buildslist```
command would return something like the following::
1: qemux86 poky core-image-minimal
``builddelete``
---------------
The ``builddelete`` command deletes data associated with a build. Access
the command as follows:
.. code-block::
$ bitbake/lib/toaster/manage.py builddelete build_id
The command deletes all the build data for the specified
build_id. This command is useful for removing old and unused data from
the database.
Prior to running the ``builddelete`` command, you need to get the ID
associated with builds by using the
:ref:`toaster-manual/reference:``buildslist``` command.
``perf``
--------
The ``perf`` command measures Toaster performance. Access the command as
follows:
.. code-block:: shell
$ bitbake/lib/toaster/manage.py perf
The command is a sanity check that returns page loading times in order to
identify performance problems.
``checksettings``
-----------------
The ``checksettings`` command verifies existing Toaster settings. Access
the command as follows:
.. code-block:: shell
$ bitbake/lib/toaster/manage.py checksettings
Toaster uses settings that are based on the database to configure the
building tasks. The ``checksettings`` command verifies that the database
settings are valid in the sense that they have the minimal information
needed to start a build.
In order for the ``checksettings`` command to work, the database must be
correctly set up and not have existing data. To be sure the database is
ready, you can run the following:
.. code-block:: shell
$ bitbake/lib/toaster/manage.py syncdb
$ bitbake/lib/toaster/manage.py migrate orm
$ bitbake/lib/toaster/manage.py migrate bldcontrol
After running these commands, you can run the ``checksettings`` command.
``runbuilds``
-------------
The ``runbuilds`` command launches scheduled builds. Access the command
as follows:
.. code-block:: shell
$ bitbake/lib/toaster/manage.py runbuilds
The ``runbuilds`` command checks if scheduled builds exist in the database
and then launches them per schedule. The command returns after the builds
start but before they complete. The Toaster Logging Interface records and
updates the database when the builds complete.

Once you have set up the Yocto Project and installed the Toaster system
dependencies as described in the ":ref:`toaster-manual/start:Preparing to Use
Toaster`" chapter, you are ready to start
Toaster.
Navigate to the root of your
:term:`Source Directory` (e.g. ``poky``)::
$ cd poky
Once in that directory, source the build environment script::
$ source oe-init-build-env
Next, from the :term:`Build Directory` (e.g. ``poky/build``), start Toaster
using this command::
$ source toaster start
You can now run your builds from the command line, or with Toaster
as explained in section
":ref:`toaster-manual/setup-and-use:using the toaster web interface`".
To access the Toaster web interface, open your favorite browser and
enter the following::
http://127.0.0.1:8000
Setting a Different Port
========================
By default, Toaster starts on port 8000. You can use the ``WEBPORT``
parameter to set a different port. For example, the following command
sets the port to "8400"::
$ source toaster start webport=8400
Setting Up Toaster Without a Web Server
=======================================
You can start a Toaster environment without starting its web server.
This is useful for the following:
- Capturing a command-line build's statistics into the Toaster database
for examination later.
- Capturing a command-line build's statistics when the Toaster server
is already running.
- Having one instance of the Toaster web server track and capture
multiple command-line builds, where each build is started in its own
"noweb" Toaster environment.
The following commands show how to start a Toaster environment without
starting its web server, perform BitBake operations, and then shut down
the Toaster environment. Once the build is complete, you can close the
Toaster environment. Before closing the environment, however, you should
allow a few minutes to ensure the complete transfer of its BitBake build
statistics to the Toaster database. If you have a separate Toaster web
server instance running, you can watch this command-line build's
progress and examine the results as soon as they are posted::
$ source toaster start noweb
$ bitbake target
$ source toaster stop
Setting Up Toaster Without a Build Server
=========================================
You can start a Toaster environment with the "New Projects" feature
disabled. Doing so is useful for the following:
- Sharing your build results over the web server while blocking others
from starting builds on your host.
- Allowing only local command-line builds to be captured into the
Toaster database.
Use the following command to set up Toaster without a build server::
$ source toaster start nobuild webport=port
Setting up External Access
==========================
By default, Toaster binds to the loop back address (i.e. ``localhost``),
which does not allow access from external hosts. To allow external
access, use the ``WEBPORT`` parameter to open an address that connects
to the network, specifically the IP address that your NIC uses to
connect to the network. You can also bind to all IP addresses the
computer supports by using the shortcut "0.0.0.0:port".
The following example binds to all IP addresses on the host::
$ source toaster start webport=0.0.0.0:8400
This example binds to a specific IP address on the host's NIC::
$ source toaster start webport=192.168.1.1:8400
The Directory for Cloning Layers
================================
Toaster creates a ``_toaster_clones`` directory inside your Source
Directory (i.e. ``poky``) to clone any layers needed for your builds.
Alternatively, if you would like all of your Toaster related files and
directories to be in a particular location other than the default, you
can set the ``TOASTER_DIR`` environment variable, which takes precedence
over your current working directory. Setting this environment variable
causes Toaster to create and use ``$TOASTER_DIR./_toaster_clones``.
The Build Directory
===================
Toaster creates a :term:`Build Directory` within your Source Directory (e.g.
``poky``) to execute the builds.
Alternatively, if you would like all of your Toaster related files and
directories to be in a particular location, you can set the
``TOASTER_DIR`` environment variable, which takes precedence over your
current working directory. Setting this environment variable causes
Toaster to use ``$TOASTER_DIR/build`` as the :term:`Build Directory`.
Creating a Django Superuser
===========================
Toaster is built on the `Django
framework <https://www.djangoproject.com/>`__. Django provides an
administration interface you can use to edit Toaster configuration
parameters.
To access the Django administration interface, you must create a
superuser by following these steps:
#. If you used ``pip3``, which is recommended, to set up the Toaster
system dependencies, you need be sure the local user path is in your
``PATH`` list. To append the pip3 local user path, use the following
command::
$ export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.local/bin
#. From the directory containing the Toaster database, which by default
is the :term:`Build Directory`, invoke the ``createsuperuser`` command from
``manage.py``::
$ cd poky/build
$ ../bitbake/lib/toaster/manage.py createsuperuser
#. Django prompts you for the username, which you need to provide.
#. Django prompts you for an email address, which is optional.
#. Django prompts you for a password, which you must provide.
#. Django prompts you to re-enter your password for verification.
After completing these steps, the following confirmation message
appears::
Superuser created successfully.
Creating a superuser allows you to access the Django administration
interface through a browser. The URL for this interface is the same as
the URL used for the Toaster instance with "/admin" on the end. For
example, if you are running Toaster locally, use the following URL::
http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin
You can use the Django administration interface to set Toaster configuration
parameters such as the :term:`Build Directory`, layer sources, default variable
values, and BitBake versions.
Setting Up a Production Instance of Toaster
===========================================
You can use a production instance of Toaster to share the Toaster
instance with remote users, multiple users, or both. The production
instance is also the setup that can handle heavier loads on the web
service. Use the instructions in the following sections to set up
Toaster to run builds through the Toaster web interface.
Requirements
------------
Be sure you meet the following requirements:
.. note::
You must comply with all Apache, ``mod-wsgi``, and Mysql requirements.
- Have all the build requirements as described in the ":ref:`toaster-manual/start:Preparing to
Use Toaster`" chapter.
- Have an Apache webserver.
- Have ``mod-wsgi`` for the Apache webserver.
- Use the Mysql database server.
- If you are using Ubuntu, run the following::
$ sudo apt install apache2 libapache2-mod-wsgi-py3 mysql-server python3-pip libmysqlclient-dev
- If you are using Fedora or a RedHat distribution, run the
following::
$ sudo dnf install httpd python3-mod_wsgi python3-pip mariadb-server mariadb-devel python3-devel
- If you are using openSUSE, run the following::
$ sudo zypper install apache2 apache2-mod_wsgi-python3 python3-pip mariadb mariadb-client python3-devel
Installation
------------
Perform the following steps to install Toaster:
#. Create toaster user and set its home directory to
``/var/www/toaster``::
$ sudo /usr/sbin/useradd toaster -md /var/www/toaster -s /bin/false
$ sudo su - toaster -s /bin/bash
#. Checkout a copy of ``poky`` into the web server directory. You will
be using ``/var/www/toaster``::
$ git clone git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky
$ git checkout &DISTRO_NAME_NO_CAP;
#. Install Toaster dependencies using the ``--user`` flag which keeps the
Python packages isolated from your system-provided packages::
$ cd /var/www/toaster/
$ pip3 install --user -r ./poky/bitbake/toaster-requirements.txt
$ pip3 install --user mysqlclient
.. note::
Isolating these packages is not required but is recommended.
Alternatively, you can use your operating system's package
manager to install the packages.
#. Configure Toaster by editing
``/var/www/toaster/poky/bitbake/lib/toaster/toastermain/settings.py``
as follows:
- Edit the
`DATABASES <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.2/ref/settings/#databases>`__
settings:
.. code-block:: python
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
'NAME': 'toaster_data',
'USER': 'toaster',
'PASSWORD': 'yourpasswordhere',
'HOST': 'localhost',
'PORT': '3306',
}
}
- Edit the
`SECRET_KEY <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.2/ref/settings/#std:setting-SECRET_KEY>`__:
.. code-block:: python
SECRET_KEY = 'your_secret_key'
- Edit the
`STATIC_ROOT <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.2/ref/settings/#std:setting-STATIC_ROOT>`__:
.. code-block:: python
STATIC_ROOT = '/var/www/toaster/static_files/'
#. Add the database and user to the ``mysql`` server defined earlier::
$ mysql -u root -p
mysql> CREATE DATABASE toaster_data;
mysql> CREATE USER 'toaster'@'localhost' identified by 'yourpasswordhere';
mysql> GRANT all on toaster_data.\* to 'toaster'@'localhost';
mysql> quit
#. Get Toaster to create the database schema, default data, and gather
the statically-served files::
$ cd /var/www/toaster/poky/
$ ./bitbake/lib/toaster/manage.py migrate
$ TOASTER_DIR=`pwd\` TEMPLATECONF='poky' \
./bitbake/lib/toaster/manage.py checksettings
$ ./bitbake/lib/toaster/manage.py collectstatic
In the previous
example, from the ``poky`` directory, the ``migrate`` command
ensures the database schema changes have propagated correctly (i.e.
migrations). The next line sets the Toaster root directory
``TOASTER_DIR`` and the location of the Toaster configuration file
``TOASTER_CONF``, which is relative to ``TOASTER_DIR``. The
:term:`TEMPLATECONF` value reflects the contents of
``poky/.templateconf``, and by default, should include the string
"poky". For more information on the Toaster configuration file, see
the ":ref:`toaster-manual/reference:Configuring Toaster`" section.
This line also runs the ``checksettings`` command, which configures
the location of the Toaster :term:`Build Directory`. The Toaster
root directory ``TOASTER_DIR`` determines where the Toaster build
directory is created on the file system. In the example above,
``TOASTER_DIR`` is set as follows::
/var/www/toaster/poky
This setting causes the Toaster :term:`Build Directory` to be::
/var/www/toaster/poky/build
Finally, the ``collectstatic`` command is a Django framework command
that collects all the statically served files into a designated
directory to be served up by the Apache web server as defined by
``STATIC_ROOT``.
#. Test and/or use the Mysql integration with Toaster's Django web
server. At this point, you can start up the normal Toaster Django
web server with the Toaster database in Mysql. You can use this web
server to confirm that the database migration and data population
from the Layer Index is complete.
To start the default Toaster Django web server with the Toaster
database now in Mysql, use the standard start commands::
$ source oe-init-build-env
$ source toaster start
Additionally, if Django is sufficient for your requirements, you can use
it for your release system and migrate later to Apache as your
requirements change.
#. Add an Apache configuration file for Toaster to your Apache web
server's configuration directory. If you are using Ubuntu or Debian,
put the file here::
/etc/apache2/conf-available/toaster.conf
If you are using Fedora or RedHat, put it here::
/etc/httpd/conf.d/toaster.conf
If you are using openSUSE, put it here::
/etc/apache2/conf.d/toaster.conf
Here is a sample Apache configuration for Toaster you can follow:
.. code-block:: apache
Alias /static /var/www/toaster/static_files
<Directory /var/www/toaster/static_files>
<IfModule mod_access_compat.c>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</IfModule>
<IfModule !mod_access_compat.c>
Require all granted
</IfModule>
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www/toaster/poky/bitbake/lib/toaster/toastermain>
<Files "wsgi.py">
Require all granted
</Files>
</Directory>
WSGIDaemonProcess toaster_wsgi python-path=/var/www/toaster/poky/bitbake/lib/toaster:/var/www/toaster/.local/lib/python3.4/site-packages
WSGIScriptAlias / "/var/www/toaster/poky/bitbake/lib/toaster/toastermain/wsgi.py"
<Location />
WSGIProcessGroup toaster_wsgi
</Location>
If you are using Ubuntu or Debian, you will need to enable the config and
module for Apache::
$ sudo a2enmod wsgi
$ sudo a2enconf toaster
$ chmod +x bitbake/lib/toaster/toastermain/wsgi.py
Finally, restart Apache to make sure all new configuration is loaded. For Ubuntu,
Debian, and openSUSE use::
$ sudo service apache2 restart
For Fedora and RedHat use::
$ sudo service httpd restart
#. Prepare the systemd service to run Toaster builds. Here is a sample
configuration file for the service:
.. code-block:: ini
[Unit]
Description=Toaster runbuilds
[Service]
Type=forking User=toaster
ExecStart=/usr/bin/screen -d -m -S runbuilds /var/www/toaster/poky/bitbake/lib/toaster/runbuilds-service.sh start
ExecStop=/usr/bin/screen -S runbuilds -X quit
WorkingDirectory=/var/www/toaster/poky
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Prepare the ``runbuilds-service.sh`` script that you need to place in the
``/var/www/toaster/poky/bitbake/lib/toaster/`` directory by setting
up executable permissions::
#!/bin/bash
#export http_proxy=http://proxy.host.com:8080
#export https_proxy=http://proxy.host.com:8080
#export GIT_PROXY_COMMAND=$HOME/bin/gitproxy
cd poky/
source ./oe-init-build-env build
source ../bitbake/bin/toaster $1 noweb
[ "$1" == 'start' ] && /bin/bash
#. Run the service::
$ sudo service runbuilds start
Since the service is running in a detached screen session, you can
attach to it using this command::
$ sudo su - toaster
$ screen -rS runbuilds
You can detach from the service again using "Ctrl-a" followed by "d" key
combination.
You can now open up a browser and start using Toaster.
Using the Toaster Web Interface
===============================
The Toaster web interface allows you to do the following:
- Browse published layers in the :oe_layerindex:`OpenEmbedded Layer Index <>`
that are available for your selected version of the build system.
- Import your own layers for building.
- Add and remove layers from your configuration.
- Set configuration variables.
- Select a target or multiple targets to build.
- Start your builds.
- See what was built (recipes and packages) and what packages were
installed into your final image.
- Browse the directory structure of your image.
- See the value of all variables in your build configuration, and which
files set each value.
- Examine error, warning and trace messages to aid in debugging.
- See information about the BitBake tasks executed and reused during
your build, including those that used shared state.
- See dependency relationships between recipes, packages and tasks.
- See performance information such as build time, task time, CPU usage,
and disk I/O.

Additional Information About the Local Yocto Project Release
------------------------------------------------------------
This section only applies if you have set up Toaster for local
development, as explained in the
":ref:`toaster-manual/setup-and-use:starting toaster for local development`"
section.
When you create a project in Toaster, you will be asked to provide a
name and to select a Yocto Project release. One of the release options
you will find is called "Local Yocto Project".
.. image:: figures/new-project.png
:align: center
:scale: 75%
When you select the "Local Yocto Project" release, Toaster will run your
builds using the local Yocto Project clone you have in your computer:
the same clone you are using to run Toaster. Unless you manually update
this clone, your builds will always use the same Git revision.
If you select any of the other release options, Toaster will fetch the
tip of your selected release from the upstream :yocto_git:`Yocto Project
repository <>` every time you run a build.
Fetching this tip effectively means that if your selected release is
updated upstream, the Git revision you are using for your builds will
change. If you are doing development locally, you might not want this
change to happen. In that case, the "Local Yocto Project" release might
be the right choice.
However, the "Local Yocto Project" release will not provide you with any
compatible layers, other than the three core layers that come with the
Yocto Project:
- :oe_layer:`openembedded-core </openembedded-core>`
- :oe_layer:`meta-poky </meta-poky>`
- :oe_layer:`meta-yocto-bsp </meta-yocto-bsp>`
.. image:: figures/compatible-layers.png
:align: center
:scale: 75%
If you want to build any other layers, you will need to manually import
them into your Toaster project, using the "Import layer" page.
.. image:: figures/import-layer.png
:align: center
:scale: 75%
Building a Specific Recipe Given Multiple Versions
--------------------------------------------------
Occasionally, a layer might provide more than one version of the same
recipe. For example, the ``openembedded-core`` layer provides two
versions of the ``bash`` recipe (i.e. 3.2.48 and 4.3.30-r0) and two
versions of the ``which`` recipe (i.e. 2.21 and 2.18). The following
figure shows this exact scenario:
.. image:: figures/bash-oecore.png
:align: center
:scale: 75%
By default, the OpenEmbedded build system builds one of the two recipes.
For the ``bash`` case, version 4.3.30-r0 is built by default.
Unfortunately, Toaster as it exists, is not able to override the default
recipe version. If you would like to build bash 3.2.48, you need to set
the
:term:`PREFERRED_VERSION`
variable. You can do so from Toaster, using the "Add variable" form,
which is available in the "BitBake variables" page of the project
configuration section as shown in the following screen:
.. image:: figures/add-variable.png
:align: center
:scale: 75%
To specify ``bash`` 3.2.48 as the version to build, enter
"PREFERRED_VERSION_bash" in the "Variable" field, and "3.2.48" in the
"Value" field. Next, click the "Add variable" button:
.. image:: figures/set-variable.png
:align: center
:scale: 75%
After clicking the "Add variable" button, the settings for
:term:`PREFERRED_VERSION` are added to the bottom of the BitBake variables
list. With these settings, the OpenEmbedded build system builds the
desired version of the recipe rather than the default version:

Preparing to Use Toaster
************************
This chapter describes how you need to prepare your system in order to
use Toaster.
Setting Up the Basic System Requirements
========================================
Before you can use Toaster, you need to first set up your build system
to run the Yocto Project. To do this, follow the instructions in the
":ref:`dev-manual/start:preparing the build host`" section of
the Yocto Project Development Tasks Manual. For Ubuntu/Debian, you might
also need to do an additional install of pip3. ::
$ sudo apt install python3-pip
Establishing Toaster System Dependencies
========================================
Toaster requires extra Python dependencies in order to run. A Toaster
requirements file named ``toaster-requirements.txt`` defines the Python
dependencies. The requirements file is located in the ``bitbake``
directory, which is located in the root directory of the
:term:`Source Directory` (e.g.
``poky/bitbake/toaster-requirements.txt``). The dependencies appear in a
``pip``, install-compatible format.
Install Toaster Packages
------------------------
You need to install the packages that Toaster requires. Use this
command::
$ pip3 install --user -r bitbake/toaster-requirements.txt
The previous command installs the necessary Toaster modules into a local
Python 3 cache in your ``$HOME`` directory. The caches is actually
located in ``$HOME/.local``. To see what packages have been installed
into your ``$HOME`` directory, do the following::
$ pip3 list installed --local
If you need to remove something, the following works::
$ pip3 uninstall PackageNameToUninstall
