[yocto] toaster

[Reyna, David]

Hi Matthias,

I am sorry I did not see your post sooner. The Toaster group generally follows the "toaster at yoctoproject.org" email list.

We fully intend to support mariadb as a production level database, especially given its open source credentials, but we have not tried it yet.

We understood that mariadb was supposed to be an exact drop-in replacement, but obvious your experience is different. Our experience was just with MySQL.

I will try to gather advice from our various users to see if we can help you in the meantime.

Hello!

First of all, I have been working with yocto/oe for some time now and
enjoy and appreciate it very much!

I have a question regarding toaster in a "Production Instance" Setup. I
have tried to set toaster up on Ubuntu 16.04 following the
http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/2.2/toaster-manual/toaster-manual.html
and ran into a bunch of problems. I have been able to resolve some, but
now I am at a point where I doubt that this setup can work at all, so
please correct me if I am wrong.

 From the top of my head, these where the troubles I had:

* there were Issues using mariadb instead of mysql.

* the |mod-wsgi |that comes with Ubuntu 16.04 has a bug that does not
allow to concatenate python-path with colon, so Update to Version >=4.5
was needed

* The line  ./bitbake/lib/toaster/manage.py checksettings will ask for
the path to the openembedded meta...

* I am not sure if TOASTER_CONF is used, at least, the toaterconf.json
and what I get on the webserver do not match.

* Finally, and this is the point where I doubt that this setup can work
at all as described: When trying to run a build, I get an Internal
Server Error, which boils down that $BUILDDIR is not set for environment
apache runs in. If I hardcode that, I get of course the error on the
signal, that permission is denied, because the runbuilds-service is run
as toaster user while apache runs as www-data user.

Therefore: Is anyone running toaster in this setup?! Should I abandon
this setup?

Thanks in advance!

Regards,

     Matthias
