Reproducible Builds
|
|
*******************
|
|
|
|
This section describes how to reproduce the official released binaries for
|
|
restic for version 0.9.3 and later. The binary produced depends on the
|
|
following things:
|
|
|
|
* The source code for the release
|
|
* The exact version of the official `Go compiler <https://golang.org>`__ used to produce the binaries (running ``restic version`` will print this)
|
|
* The architecture and operating system the Go compiler runs on (Linux, ``amd64``)
|
|
* The path where the source code is extracted to (``/restic``)
|
|
* The path to the Go compiler (``/usr/local/go``)
|
|
* The build tags (for official binaries, it's the tag ``selfupdate``)
|
|
* The environment variables (mostly ``$GOOS``, ``$GOARCH``, ``$CGO_ENABLED``)
|
|
|
|
In addition, The compressed ZIP files for Windows depends on the modification
|
|
timestamp of the binary contained in it. In order to reproduce the exact same
|
|
ZIP file every time, we update the timestamp of the file ``VERSION`` in the
|
|
source code archive and set the timezone to Europe/Berlin.
|
|
|
|
In the following example, we'll use the file ``restic-0.9.3.tar.gz`` and Go
|
|
1.11.1 to reproduce the released binaries.
|
|
|
|
1. Download and extract the Go compiler into ``/usr/local/go``:
|
|
|
|
.. code::
|
|
|
|
$ cd /usr/local
|
|
$ curl -L https://dl.google.com/go/go1.11.1.linux-amd64.tar.gz | tar xz
|
|
|
|
2. Extract the restic source code into ``/restic``
|
|
|
|
.. code::
|
|
|
|
$ mkdir /restic
|
|
$ cd /restic
|
|
$ TZ=Europe/Berlin curl -L https://github.com/restic/restic/releases/download/v0.9.3/restic-0.9.3.tar.gz | tar xz --strip-components=1
|
|
|
|
3. Build the binaries for Windows and Linux:
|
|
|
|
.. code::
|
|
|
|
$ export PATH=/usr/local/go/bin:$PATH
|
|
$ go version
|
|
go version go1.11.1 linux/amd64
|
|
|
|
$ GOOS=linux GOARCH=amd64 CGO_ENABLED=0 go build -mod=vendor -ldflags "-s -w" -tags selfupdate -o restic_linux_amd64 ./cmd/restic
|
|
$ bzip2 restic_linux_amd64
|
|
|
|
$ GOOS=windows GOARCH=amd64 CGO_ENABLED=0 go build -mod=vendor -ldflags "-s -w" -tags selfupdate -o restic_windows_amd64.exe ./cmd/restic
|
|
$ touch --reference VERSION restic_windows_amd64.exe
|
|
$ TZ=Europe/Berlin zip -q -X restic_windows_amd64.zip restic_windows_amd64.exe
|
|
|
|
Building the Official Binaries
|
|
******************************
|
|
|
|
The released binaries for restic are built using a Docker container. You can
|
|
find it on `Docker Hub <https://hub.docker.com/r/restic/builder>`__ as
|
|
``restic/builder``, the ``Dockerfile`` and instructions on how to build the
|
|
container can be found in the `GitHub repository
|
|
<https://github.com/restic/builder>`__
|
|
|
|
The container serves the following goals:
|
|
* Have a very controlled environment which is independent from the local system
|
|
* Make it easy to have the correct version of the Go compiler at the right path
|
|
* Make it easy to pass in the source code to build at a well-defined path
|
|
|
|
The following steps are necessary to build the binaries:
|
|
|
|
1. Either build the container (see the instructions in the `repository's README <https://github.com/restic/builder>`__). Alternatively, download the container from the hub:
|
|
|
|
.. code::
|
|
|
|
docker pull restic/builder
|
|
|
|
2. Extract the source code somewhere:
|
|
|
|
.. code::
|
|
|
|
tar xvzf restic-0.9.3.tar.gz
|
|
|
|
3. Create a directory to place the resulting binaries in:
|
|
|
|
.. code::
|
|
|
|
mkdir output
|
|
|
|
3. Mount the source code and the output directory in the container and run the default command, which starts ``helpers/build-release-binaries/main.go``:
|
|
|
|
.. code::
|
|
|
|
docker run --rm \
|
|
--volume "$PWD/restic-0.9.3:/restic" \
|
|
--volume "$PWD/output:/output" \
|
|
restic/builder
|
|
|
|
4. If anything goes wrong, you can enable debug output by specifying the call to ``helpers/build-release-binaries/main.go`` like this:
|
|
|
|
.. code::
|
|
|
|
docker run --rm \
|
|
--volume "$PWD/restic-0.9.3:/restic" \
|
|
--volume "$PWD/output:/output" \
|
|
restic/builder \
|
|
go run -mod=vendor helpers/build-release-binaries/main.go --verbose
|
|
|
|
Prepare a New Release
|
|
*********************
|
|
|
|
Publishing a new release of restic requires many different steps. We've
|
|
automated this in the Go program ``helpers/prepare-release/main.go`` which also
|
|
includes checking that e.g. the changelog is correctly generated. The only
|
|
required argument is the new version number (in `Semantic Versioning
|
|
<https://semver.org/>`__ format ``MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH``):
|
|
|
|
.. code::
|
|
|
|
go run -mod=vendor helpers/prepare-release/main.go 0.9.3
|
|
|
|
Checks can be skipped on demand via flags, please see ``--help`` for details.
