local-universe, mesosphere, dc/os

Question

I actually wanted to deploy mesosphere-universe locally with some custom packages added to it and so followed the same steps described in https://github.com/mesosphere/universe

below are the steps i did to add custom packages and then deploy this universe package locally:

1. Forked and cloned https://github.com/mesosphere/universe

2. added two custom packages in the path repo/packages/A:- x1 (with necessary json files as described of packaging version-3), x2 (json files;packaging version-3)

3. Ran verification build script:- scripts/build.sh
4. Did git pull origin version-3.x
5. built universe server locally :- DOCKER_TAG="my-package" docker/server/build.bash
6. Running universe server:- dcos marathon app add marathon.json dcos package repo add --index=0 dev-universe http://universe.marathon.mesos:8085/repo

I was able to run the universe server successfully but however i couldn't find the custom packages x1 and x2 in repo. what am i missing here? why am i not getting the packages in the local universe server?

Answer 1

Right now, Marathon is trying to pull the new image but it doesn't exist thats why the new package doesn't show in the UI.

After you've created the image with

DOCKER_TAG="my-package" docker/server/build.bash

you have to publish the image so that it gets pulled by Marathon:

DOCKER_TAG="my-package" docker/server/build.bash publish
