Use Unified Server as a Container Registry#

Purpose#

Unified Server can serve as a Docker registry, similar to Container Hub.

Compatibility#

  • SmarTest 8 / Nexus 3.1.0 / Edge 3.4.0-prod / UnifiedServer2.3.0-prod

Prerequisites#

  • 3 VMs are required: Host Controller, Edge Server and Unified Server.

Create VMs#

Please refer to the “Creating and managing VM” to create VMs.

The following screenshot is for your reference.

../_images/hc_edge_aus.png

From ACS Gemini Version 1.4.0.1 onwards, Unified Server will automatically install and configure itself during startup; after the Unified Server is created for the first time, it takes approximately 30 minutes for all services to start automatically.

Configure the hosts for the Host Controller#

Edit hosts file

sudo vim /etc/hosts

Add the following lines at the end of the file.

ChangeToUnifiedServerIp unifiedserver.ui.local unifiedserver.local unifiedserver.cli.local unifiedserver.auth.local unifiedserver.acs
ChangeToEdgeServerIp advantestcell.local

Get the docker certificates from the Unified Server#

Log in to the VNC on the Host Controller.

Open a Terminal and execute the following commands:

curl http://unifiedserver.local:48484/unifiedserver.local.tar.gz -O
tar -zxf unifiedserver.local.tar.gz
sudo mkdir -p /etc/docker/certs.d/
sudo cp -rf ./unifiedserver.local /etc/docker/certs.d/

Configure the Project and Account in Harbor#

Download and run Firefox on the Host Controller.

cd ~
curl http://10.44.5.139/tools/firefox-131.0.3.tar.bz2 -O
tar -xjf ./firefox-131.0.3.tar.bz2
cd firefox
./firefox

Open Firefox and log in to Harbor (https://unifiedserver.ui.local/harbor-ui/) to configure it.

Note: Please contact Advantest support for configuration.

Assume the Project we created is example-project and the Robot Account is robot$example_account.

Below are the Project and Account details for Harbor:

  • example-project:

    ../_images/example_project.png

  • robot$example_account:

    ../_images/example_account.png

Test if the Docker login is successful.

sudo docker login unifiedserver.local --username 'robot$example_account' --password ChangeToYourSecret

Configure Edge Server#

  • Click on “Pair AUS”.

    ../_images/pair_aus.png

  • Enter the Unified Server IP and click on “Submit”.

    ../_images/enter_aus_ip.png

Note: You only need to pair it once. If the Unified Server is recreated, you will need to pair it again.

How to push image to Unified Server#

Build the image with the tag#

Assume the Project created is example-project and the Robot Account is robot$example_account.

sudo docker build ./ --tag=unifiedserver.local/example-project/example-repo:latest

Push the image to Unified Server#

Assume the Project we created is example-project and the Robot Account is robot$example_account.

sudo docker push unifiedserver.local/example-project/example-repo:latest

Nexus configuration#

  • images.json

gedit /opt/acs/nexus/conf/images.json

{
    "selector": {
        "device_name": "demoRTDI"
    },
    "edge": {
        "address": "ChangeToEdgeIp",
        "registry": {
            "address": "unifiedserver.local",
            "user": "robot$example_account",
            "password": "ChangeToDockerRegistrySecret"
        },
        "containers": [
            {
                "name": "dpat-app",
                "image": "example-project/example-repo:latest",
                "environment": {
                  "ONEAPI_DEBUG": "3",
                  "ONEAPI_CONTROL_ZMQ_IP": "ChangeToHostControllerIp"
                }
            }
        ]
    }
}
