first attemp with XOCE

nackstein

it seems that the git diff didn't include a modification I made, maybe the file isn't tracked.

in file @xen-orchestra/audit-core/node_modules/@babel/helper-compilation-targets/package.json
I had to modify the exports:

"exports": {
  ".": "./lib/index.js"
},

the original was like (not sure):

"exports": none

but was throwing error during build:

Error [ERR_PACKAGE_PATH_NOT_EXPORTED]: No "exports" main resolved

@BenjiReis yes but XOA is using v12.16.1 so I believed the documentation was a little old. I will try to build from scratch with the LTS that is 12.16.1.

@nackstein Please use markdown when quoting code for readability

It seems you are really angry again JS dev/build system, but you missed the a sentence that's in bold in the documentation For instance, Node version. Please take time to read the doc carefully before going further, or you'll lose your time

edit: our doc should be considered as "source of truth" for your installation

edit 2: XOA is a bit different, we can provide a coherent solution with the environment, until we decide we are sure with Node 12, we keep the version on 8.

@olivierlambert ok thanks for the clarification. I was deliberating exploring new territories. I don't like the build system in javascript but maybe it's useful on windows platform so you don't have to port make and shell script. to me it's a new complicated thing to just execute some command in a pipe. Anyway my post was sarcastic, I don't want to blame anyone.

No worries Just telling you that following the doc will save you a lot of time!

@nackstein said in first attemp with XOCE:

then as documented I cloned git and tried building with yarn:
git clone -b master http://github.com/vatesfr/xen-orchestra
cd xen-orchestra
yarn build

Did you issue the yarn command prior to the yarn build? If not, that would explain the missing dependencies.

nackstein

@Danp oh yes, I just forgot to post it here. I'm going to edit my post. thanks.
I think the broken dependency is due to bcrypt 2.x that come only in 64 npm version and by using a too recent node/npm the build system look for bcrypt 2.x 79 npm version

I tried building from scratch and with node 8. I had a couple of build error but building one package by directly entering its directory and relaunching building without --parallel in the main package.json solved my problem. I think the VM I used to build with 2GB RAM is not enough for parallel building (I took the hint from the post about building on FreeBSD).

now I would like to install on a local directory and not using the git directory to start services. how do you usually do in your development environment?

olivierlambert

Exactly like how it's displayed in the documentation.
