LATEST EVE 8.5.0 Release https://github.com/lf-edge/eve/releases/tag/8.5.0🎉
NEW:
🎉support Edge-View container on EVE
this runs as an 'edgeview' container inside EVE, for access into EVE, the Apps and its site routable Apps
- it offers EVE side log search, network-related debugging,
system related debugging, and show pubsub data - it offers copying files from a device, such as log files, onto e.g. operator's laptop
- it offers 'virtual port mapping' which allows TCP services into device or apps
- this patch does not include the session token/dispatcher ip,port privisionning,
for which one can use e.g. temp config for edge-view with configitem #2269 to build a
private image and use 'zcli' to supply those configures for testing - with the patch, one can build a client-side 'edge-view' container for query
or local virtual-port mapping endpoints, the container can also be used
for ssh-mode access into the EVE for device debugging - this patch has the Golang example program for 'edge-view' dispatcher which
is needed for non-ssh mode with a device running behind fw/nat/lte/proxy - going to generate an EVE wiki doc to describe 'edge-view' in more detail
💿use sparced write while rolling out image to zvol
It takes forever to write huge amount of data to the disk. The limit for the qemu-img operation was 16 minutes, which was not even close to being enough for flashing 2TiB of data. Assuming that zvol is created with all zeroes, we can instruct qemu-img to skip writing zeroes. This drastically speeds up the process of rolling out the image, as qcow2 almost never contains data to fill the target volume entirely. Also in case we indeed have to flash a lot of data to the disk, this patch increases timeout up to 2 hours.
📡Properly report NTP server used for network with static config
For networks with static IP configurations, there is a different field inside DNS used to store the address of the assigned NTP server. GetNTPServers should therefore differentiate between statically configured and DHCP-based networks, and report the assigned NTP server(s) accordingly.
🔨pillar: introduce debug build
With this series, one can build Eve’s image with some extra debug capabilities. For now, this includes a pillar with debug symbols, and delve is included in the pillar container.
FIX:
🛠Eden tests cleanup
It seems we spend time more than limit for testing, so:
- Reduce the size of the image for the mount test
- Ensure that we download the same eclient per test
- Merge reboot and shutdown tests
- Move update eve image test from HTTP to large and GCP tests
🛠Fix dhcpcd arguments for static IP config
With static IP configuration, dhcpcd should directly assign a given IP address to an interface, instead of requesting it from a DHCP server (which may not even be present in the network or may give a different address). This is actually a new bug introduced by NIM refactoring, which slipped through manual testing. This reinforces, even more, the need to enhance eden and allow to automatically test all kinds of network scenarios for regression (currently we only test DHCP).
DOCS:
update the docs with instruction how to use dev builds
Eve can be built in "development" mode, by specifying `DEV=y` flag. Currently, this affects only the pillar package. Specifically, the pillar is built with debug symbols and includes https://github.com/go-delve/delve.
