Quick start

Quick start

Starting a local zos node

Make sure qemu and dnsmasq are installed
Create a farm
Download a zos image
Make sure zos0 bridge is allowed by qemu, you can add allow zos0 in /etc/qemu/bridge.conf (create the file if it's not there)
Setup the network using this script this script

Then, inside zos repository

make -C cmds
cd qemu
mv <downloaded image path> ./zos.efi
sudo ./vm.sh -n myzos-01 -c "farmer_id=<your farm id here> printk.devmsg=on runmode=dev"

You should see the qemu console and boot logs, wait for awhile and you can browse farms to see your node is added/detected automatically.

To stop the machine you can do Control + a then x.

You can read more about setting up a qemu development environment and more network options here.

Accessing node

After booting up, the node should start downloading external packages, this would take some time depending on your internet connection.

See how to ssh into it.

How to get the node IP? Given the network script dhcp-range, it usually would be one of 192.168.123.43, 192.168.123.44 or 192.168.123.45.

Or you can simply install arp-scan then do something like:

✗ sudo arp-scan --interface=zos0 --localnet
Interface: zos0, type: EN10MB, MAC: de:26:45:e6:87:95, IPv4: 192.168.123.1
Starting arp-scan 1.9.7 with 256 hosts (https://github.com/royhills/arp-scan)
192.168.123.44  54:43:83:1f:eb:81       (Unknown)

Now we know for sure it's 192.168.123.44.

To check logs and see if the downloading of packages is still in progress, you can simply do:

zinit log

Development

While the overlay will enable your to boot with the binaries that's been built locally, sometimes you'll need to test the changes of certain modules without restarting the node (or intending to do so for e.g. testing a migration).

For example if we changed anything related to noded, we can do the following:

Inside zos repository:

Build binaries locally
- make -C cmds
Copy the binary inside the machine
- scp bin/zos root@192.168.123.44:/bin/noded
SSH into the machine then use zinit to restart it:
- zinit stop noded && zinit start noded
