The Tectonic Installer is an app for creating Tectonic clusters.

See official installation documentation if you'd like to use a published release.

Read on if you'd like to build and run the installer yourself.

Notable Flags and Environment Variables

License

Get a license and follow the guides to create Tectonic clusters end to end.

Build prerequisites

• Go 1.8
• Nodejs >=6.x
• Yarn >=0.20.x
• The tectonic-installer repo must be located at $GOPATH/src/github.com/coreos/tectonic-installer

Build / Run

All commands mentioned here must be run from the same working directory as this README file, ./installer/ from the root of this repo.

Build the static binary.

make build

Run the binary for your platform (linux, darwin).

Managing Dependencies

Frontend

Dependencies are managed with yarn and browserify. Unlike go dependencies, yarn dependencies are not vendored directly, because yarn install will build native extensions that could break builds on other platforms/operating systems. To add a dependency, run:

cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/coreos/tectonic-installer/installer/frontend
yarn add $MY_PACKAGE # for a runtime dependency

If you are adding a build dependency, run the following commands instead:

cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/coreos/tectonic-installer/installer/frontend
yarn add --dev $MY_BUILD_PACKAGE # for a development dependency

Both sets of commands will update the package.json and yarn.lock files in the repository - those changes should then be committed.

Go

Dependencies are managed with glide, but committed directly to the repository.

If you don't have glide, install the latest release from https://glide.sh/. We require version 0.12 at a minimum.

To add a new dependency:

• Edit the glide.yaml file to add your dependency.
• Ensure you add a version field for the sha or tag you want to pin to.
• Revendor the dependencies:

make vendor

If it worked correctly it should:

• Clone your new dep to the /vendor dir, and check out the ref you specified.
• Update glide.lock to include your new package, adds any transitive dependencies, and updates its hash.

For the sake of your fellow reviewers, commit vendored code changes as a separate commit from any other changes.

Regenerate or Repair Vendored Code

Should you need to regenerate or repair the vendored code en-mass from their source repositories, you can run:

make vendor
