Airgap Configuration

Air Gap Configuration #

In the air gap environment, the Docker registry, BurmillaOS repositories URL, and the BurmillaOS upgrade URL should be configured to ensure the OS can pull images, update OS services, and upgrade the OS.

Configuring a Private Docker Registry #

You should use a private Docker registry so that user-docker and system-docker can pull images.

  1. Add the private Docker registry domain to the images prefix.
  2. Set the private registry certificates for user-docker. For details, refer to Certificates for Private Registries
  3. Set the private registry certificates for system-docker. There are two ways to set the certificates:
  • To set the private registry certificates before BurmillaOS starts, you can run a script included with BurmillaOS. For details, refer to Set Custom Certs in ISO.
  • To set the private registry certificates after BurmillaOS starts, append your private registry certs to the /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt.rancher file. Then reboot to make the certs fully take effect.
  1. The images used by BurmillaOS should be pushed to your private registry.

Set Custom Certs in ISO #

BurmillaOS provides a script to set your custom certs for an ISO. The following commands show how to use the script:

$ git clone https://github.com/burmilla/os.git
$ cd os
$ make shell-bind
$ cd scripts/tools/
$ wget http://link/burmillaos-xx.iso
$ wget http://link/custom.crt
$ ./flush_crt_iso.sh --iso burmillaos-xx.iso --cert custom.crt
$ exit

$ ls ./build/

Configuring BurmillaOS Repositories and Upgrade URL #

The following steps show how to configure BurmillaOS to update from private repositories.

By default, BurmillaOS will update the engine, console, and service list from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/burmilla/os-services and update the os list from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/burmilla/os-services/master/index.yml. So in the air gap environment, you need to change the repository URL and upgrade URL to your own URLs.

1. Clone os-services files #

Clone github.com/burmilla/os-services to local. The repo has many branches named after the BurmillaOS versions. Please check out the branch that you are using.

$ git clone https://github.com/burmilla/os-services.git
$ cd os-services
$ git checkout v1.5.2

2. Download the OS releases yaml #

Download the releases.yml from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/burmilla/os-services/master/index.yml.

3. Serve these files by HTTP #

Use a HTTP server to serve the cloned os-services directory and download releases.yml. Make sure you can access all the files in os-services and releases.yml by URL.

4. Set the URLs #

In your cloud-config, set rancher.repositories.core.url and rancher.upgrade.url to your own os-services and releases URLs:

#cloud-config
rancher:
  repositories:
    core:
      url: https://foo.bar.com/os-services
  upgrade:
    url: https://foo.bar.com/os/releases.yml

You can also customize rancher.repositories.core.url and rancher.upgrade.url after it’s been started using ros config.

$ sudo ros config set rancher.repositories.core.url https://foo.bar.com/os-services
$ sudo ros config set rancher.upgrade.url https://foo.bar.com/os/releases.yml

Example Cloud-config #

Here is a total cloud-config example for using BurmillaOS in an air gap environment.

For system-docker, see Configuring Private Docker Registry.
