selftest: Add more notes on using selftest with namespaces
In particular, document how to hook up a testenv to a Windows VM (ideally there should be a helper script to do this, but in the meantime some instructions are better than nothing). Signed-off-by: Tim Beale <timbeale@catalyst.net.nz> Reviewed-by: Andrew Bartlett <abartlet@samba.org>

@ -63,3 +63,100 @@ The veth interfaces are named vethX and vethX-br, where X is the
|
||||
SOCKET_WRAPPER_DEFAULT_IFACE for the testenv. The vethX-br interface is always
|
||||
added to the selftest0 bridge interface.
|
||||
|
||||
How do I use it?
|
||||
================
|
||||
To use namespaces instead of socket-wrapper, just add 'USE_NAMESPACES=1' to the
|
||||
make command, e.g.
|
||||
|
||||
To run the 'quick' test cases using namespaces:
|
||||
USE_NAMESPACES=1 make test TESTS=quick
|
||||
|
||||
To setup an ad_dc testenv using namespaces:
|
||||
USE_NAMESPACES=1 SELFTEST_TESTENV=ad_dc make testenv
|
||||
|
||||
You can connect secondary shells to the namespace your testenv is running in.
|
||||
The command to do this is a little complicated, so a helper 'nsenter.sh' script
|
||||
gets autogenerated when the testenv is created. E.g. to connect to the testenv
|
||||
that the ad_dc is running in, use:
|
||||
./st/ad_dc/nsenter.sh
|
||||
|
||||
This script also sets up the shell with all the same $SERVER/$USERNAME/etc
|
||||
variables that you normally get in xterm.
|
||||
|
||||
To run the ad-dc-backup autobuild job using namespaces:
|
||||
USE_NAMESPACES=1 script/autobuild.py samba-ad-dc-backup --verbose --nocleanup \
|
||||
--keeplogs --tail --testbase /tmp/samba-testbase
|
||||
|
||||
Using the customdc testenv, you can basically now essentially your own
|
||||
light-weight samba VM. E.g.
|
||||
MY_BACKUP=/home/$USER/samba-backup-prod-domain.tar.bz2
|
||||
USE_NAMESPACES=1 BACKUP_FILE=$MY_BACKUP SELFTEST_TESTENV=customdc make testenv
|
||||
|
||||
You can then talk to that DC in any other shell by using
|
||||
./st/customdc/nsenter.sh which enters the DC's network namespace (with
|
||||
all the $SERVER/etc env variables defined).
|
||||
|
||||
How to join VMs to the testenv
|
||||
----------------------------------------
|
||||
I haven't tried this (beyond basic IP connectivity), but using namespaces it
|
||||
should now be possible to connect a Windows VM to a Samba testenv.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Work out the main selftest.pl namespace PID manually, e.g.
|
||||
SELFTEST_PID= ps waux | grep selftest.pl
|
||||
|
||||
2. Create a new veth to bridge between the selftest namespace and your PC's
|
||||
default namespace:
|
||||
sudo ip link add dev testenv-veth0 type veth peer name testenv-veth1
|
||||
|
||||
3. Move one end of the veth tunnel into the selftest namespace:
|
||||
sudo ip link set testenv-veth1 netns $SELFTEST_PID
|
||||
|
||||
4. Configure the veth end in the default namespace to be in the same subnet
|
||||
as the selftest network:
|
||||
sudo ip link set dev testenv-veth0 up
|
||||
sudo ip addr add 10.0.0.63/24 dev testenv-veth0
|
||||
|
||||
5. Enter the selftest namespace, bring that end of the pipe up, and add it to
|
||||
to the main selftest0 bridge (that connects all the DCs together). We also need
|
||||
to add a default route from selftest back to your PC's default namespace.
|
||||
nsenter -t $SELFTEST_PID --net --user --preserve-credentials
|
||||
ip link set dev testenv-veth1 up
|
||||
ip link set testenv-veth1 master selftest0
|
||||
ip route add default via 10.0.0.63
|
||||
logout
|
||||
|
||||
Your Windows VM and samba testenv should now be able to talk to each
|
||||
other over IP!
|
||||
|
||||
6. The other step is to get DNS working. You probably need to add dns_hub
|
||||
(10.0.0.64) as a nameserver (at least on your Windows VM).
|
||||
|
||||
This should work for using RSAT tools on samba, or joining Windows to Samba
|
||||
(depending on the schema version). Joining samba to Windows is a bit more
|
||||
tricky, as the namespaces are tied to the *running* samba process.
|
||||
|
||||
What you'd probably want to do is run the join command to the windows VM
|
||||
outside of testenv, create an offline backup-file of the resulting DB, and
|
||||
then plug that backup-file into the customdc testenv. (And then follow the
|
||||
above veth/bridge steps to join samba to the VM).
|
||||
|
||||
Note that the namespace disappears once you stop the testenv, so you'd
|
||||
need to do the above steps with creating the veth interface every time
|
||||
you restarted the testenv.
|
||||
|
||||
Known limitations
|
||||
=================
|
||||
- When running a testenv, sometimes xterm can fail to startup, due to a
|
||||
permissions problem with /dev/pts. This seems to be a particular problem
|
||||
with the 'none' testenv.
|
||||
A short-term work-around is to use a terminal that doesn't try to access
|
||||
/dev/pts, e.g. just use bash as the terminal:
|
||||
TERMINAL=bash TERMINAL_ARGS='--norc' USE_NAMESPACES=1 \
|
||||
SELFTEST_TESTENV=none make testenv
|
||||
- Some test cases rely on socket-wrapper, so will fail when run using
|
||||
namespaces.
|
||||
- Currently USE_NAMESPACES maps you (i.e. $USER) to root in the new namespace.
|
||||
This means any test cases that rely on being a non-root user will fail (i.e.
|
||||
anything that fails under 'sudo make test' will also fail with namespaces).
|
||||
- Namespaces should work within docker, but currently the 'unshare' system
|
||||
call is disallowed on the gitlab CI runners.
