Hi Jean-Louis,

I have almalinux9 and c9s ovirt-node-image builds working and i'm just about to put in a PR - the self-hosted runner you mentioned needs to be running a rhel 9 derivative - is that the case? It needs docker-ce installed and qemu-kvm as well as a fair amount of free disk.

I'll be putting in the PR today with that assumption.

Thanks in advance

Hi

First of all thanks for spending time on improving this :)

There are a few PR's to come and some comments below.  I like the PR's to be concise items that are easy to review (and preferably standalone) but i'd also like to describe what i'm hoping to achieve with the sequence.

Firstly,  https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-node-ng-image/pull/143

This is to turn off the daily schedule (not currently working) and build on push - also not currently working.  This is just getting ready for subsequent PR's.

I would prefer to get it fixed ;)

The next PR will add some changes to the workflow to enable an almalinux9 based build to occur and a minor change to the Makefile to set the distro on the generated iso. I've tested the changes in my own self-hosted runner. I'm assuming the rest of the workflow (file uploads etc) actually works as I cant test that as I don't have access to the backends or related secrets.

I would try it indeed, let's see if we hit issues.

I notice that the action runs on 'image-builders' (a self-hosted runner group) - I have no idea if these runners still exist or not - If not I can make a temporary runner available, but it's running in my home lab and should only be considered temporary.

There is a self-hosted runner available (sponsored by us). Use label 'self-hosted' should make it run on that runner.

I'd like to put in a PR to remove the '8' code completely as 'ng' builds will never be based on '8'

Yea, el8 can be dropped everywhere :)

A minor PR is required to clean up some warnings in the '9' based builds - deprecated ks options

Perfect!

Notes:  Centos9 build still doesn't work, I don't know why as yet and I didn't look at rocky linux 9, but at least almalinux builds enough to test out.

Think we have a focus on C9S and Alma9 (and in the future C10S and Alma10)

Let me know if the team wants me to amend the above approach.

Seems good! Send in the PR's, I'll review and merge :)

Thanks!

In case you're wondering how I built it,  there's no real magic.

I checked out the repository (https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-node-ng-image) on my alma system.  It will likely be a similar result on other Linux systems, but I didn't test any other combinations.

I use docker-ce on alma9.  Note: The underlying system needs to be a working kvm environment as the build script performs qemu based builds.

docker run -v /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel:/kernel -v $PWD:/workspace --device=/dev/kvm --device=/dev/kvm/tun --ulimit=nofile=262144:262144 --privileged -it quay.io/ovirt/buildcontainer:almalinux9 /bin/bash
cd /workspace

./build.sh

The .github/workflows/build.yml looks mostly correct, just some tweaks and it should be able to create build isos - assuming the upload actions etc still work.

Personally I do my builds via vscode devcontainers, but that's fundamentally the above docker command.

I hope this helps.

I've been able to build ovirt node (next) with almalinux 9 as the base OS.  I haven't really had a chance to test it out.

Subject: [ovirt-users] Re: oVirt New versioon ? Centos 10?

Hi,

The ovirt-node images are unmaintained atm. As the advantages versus the
work for it are quite low.
So except if somebody takes up maintenance of the node images, they will
be unmaintained.

CentOS 10 support will come, but that takes some time.
Guess it's not that urgent neither, as CentOS 10 is still in early/beta
stage.
