Tools, scripts and docker images for cross-compiling and packaging the Elastic Beats.
You need Go and docker installed. This project uses several docker files, you can either build them with:
make images
Or pull them from the Docker registry with:
make pull-images
Prepare the rest with:
make deps
The cross compilation part is based on xgo, with some changes that add a bit more extensibility that we needed for the Beats (e.g. static compiling, custom docker image).
You can cross-compile one Beat for all platforms with (e.g.):
make packetbeat
For each OS (named platform here) we execute a build.sh script which is
free to do whatever it is required to build the proper packages for that
platform. This can include running docker containers with the right tools
included or with that OS installed for native packaging.
The deb and rpm creation is based on fpm which is executed from a container.
Besides the platform, there are three other dimensions: architecture, beat and the release. Each of these is defined by YAML files in their folders. These dimensions only set static options, the platforms is the only one scripted.
The runner is currently (ab)using a Makefile, which is nice because it can parallelize things automatically, but it's hacky so we might replace it in a future.
Building all Beats for all platforms:
make clean && make -j2
Which currently produces the following:
