Linux Package Framework

This framework is used for building customized third-party packages and public Delphix packages for the Ubuntu-based Delphix Appliance. It also has the functionality to automatically sync third-party packages with the upstream projects.

System Requirements

This framework is intended to be run on an Ubuntu 18.04 system with some basic developer packages installed, such as git, and passwordless sudo enabled. Note that it will automatically install various build-dependencies on the system, so as a safety precaution it is currently restricted to only run on an AWS instance to prevent developers accidentally running it on their personal machines. To bypass the safety check, you can run the following command before running any script:

export DISABLE_SYSTEM_CHECK=true

Getting Started

This quick tutorial shows how to build the packages managed by this framework.

Step 1. Create build VM

You need a system that meets the requirements above. For Delphix developers, you should clone the bootstrap-18-04 group on DCoA.

Step 2. Clone this repository

Clone this repository on the build VM.

git clone https://github.com/delphix/linux-pkg.git

Step 3. Build a package

We can now build an arbitrary package. Any package in the packages directory would do. Let's pick cloud-init as an example:

./buildpkg.sh cloud-init

Build artifacts will be stored in directory packages/cloud-init/tmp/artifacts/.

Project Summary

There are two main tasks that are performed by this framework: building packages and keeping each package up-to-date with its upstream project by updating the appropriate git branches.

Building packages

This task is relatively straight forward. What linux-pkg calls a "package" is really a project (usually a git project) that has a build recipe and that produces one or more debian packages and some other metadata files.

See Scripts > updatelist.sh below.

Updating third-party packages

The idea behind this task is to reduce the amount of effort required to maintain third-party packages and keep them up-to-date. Note that this task does not apply to packages created and maintained by Delphix, but only to third-party packages that Delphix modifies. Instead of following a more conventional approach of using tarballs and patches with all its drawbacks, we've decided to leverage the advantages offered by revision control. As such, we've adopted a well defined branching model for each third-party package.

First of all, we have a Delphix repository on github for each third-party package that we build. Each repository has at least 2 branches: develop and upstreams/develop. The develop branch of the package is the one we build, and contains Delphix changes. The upstreams/develop branch is used to track the upstream version of the package. For packages that are not provided by Ubuntu but are available on git, the upstreams/develop branch usually just tracks the develop branch of the project. For packages that are provided by Ubuntu, the upstreams/develop branch instead tracks the source package that is maintained by Ubuntu (i.e. the branch contains the files obtained from apt-get source <source-package>). This offers the advantage of using a version of the package tuned to work with our Ubuntu distribution.

When updating a package, we first check if the upstreams/develop branch is up-to-date, by fetching the latest version of the upstream git repository or the Ubuntu source package. If changes are detected, we update the upstreams/develop branch and push the changes to GitHub.

The second step is to check if the develop branch is up-to-date with upstreams/develop. If it is already up-to-date, then we are done. If not, then we attempt merging upstreams/develop into develop.

If the merge is successful, then we push the changes to a staging branch on GitHub, called projects/auto-update/develop/merging. The intent is for a different system to fetch those changes, build them, and then launch tests.

See Scripts > sync-with-upstream.sh below.

Once the merge has been tested, Scripts > push-merge.sh is called on the original VM to push the changes to the develop branch on GitHub.

Note that the example above targets the develop branch, but the same workflow could apply to other branches.

Scripts

A set of scripts were created in this repository to allow easily building and updating packages both manually and through automation (e.g. Jenkins).

query-packages.sh

This script can be called on most unix-based systems to query metadata on the packages built by linux-pkg. This script does not install anything on the system, so it can be run anywhere without any side effects.

setup.sh

Installs dependencies for the build framework. Needs to be run once to configure the system, before any other scripts (except query-packages.sh).

buildpkg.sh

Builds a single package. Package name must match a directory under packages/.

./buildpkg.sh <package>

The build will look at packages/<package>/config.sh for instructions on where to fetch the package from and how to build it. The build will be performed in packages/<package>/tmp/, and build artifacts for this package will be stored in the artifacts sub-directory.

Note that if the build of the package depends on build artifacts from another linux-pkg package, those will be fetched from a predetermined S3 location.

checkupdates.sh

Usage:

./checkupdates.sh <package>

This checks if a package has updates in the upstream project that haven't been pulled into the upstreams/6.0/stage branch, or if the upstreams/6.0/stage branch has commits that haven't been merged into the 6.0/stage branch.

If updates are available, the file <WORKDIR>/update-available will be created.

The intention of this script is to inform the caller whether an update job should be called for the given package.

sync-with-upstream.sh

Usage:

./sync-with-upstream.sh <package>

This script has 2 tasks:

  1. Check if the upstream project has updates that are not pulled into the upstreams/develop branch of the package, and if so then update that branch and push changes to GitHub.
  2. Merge upstreams/develop into develop and push the changes to a staging branch on GitHub, called projects/auto-update/develop/merging. Another system should use that branch to build the package, and then run the appropriate integration tests.

After testing has been completed, push-merge.sh <package> should be called on the same system to push the merge to the develop branch.

Note that the DRYRUN environment variable must be set when running this script. If DRYRUN is set to "true", then changes are not pushed to GitHub in step 1, and staged changes are pushed to projects/auto-update/develop/merging-dryrun in step 2 instead of the non-dryrun branch. The intention is that when testing changes to the logic we want to be able to run most of the logic, but without affecting the production branches.

push-merge.sh

Usage:

./push-merge.sh <package>

This must be called on a system that has previously called sync-with-upstream.sh for the same package. It will push the merge that was previously prepared by sync-with-upstream.sh to the production develop branch, after checking that the develop branch hasn't been modified since sync-with-upstream.sh was called.

Like for sync-with-upstream.sh, the DRYRUN environment variable must be set to run this script. However, the script will fail unless DRYRUN is set to "false" given that there is not much that can be tested in dry-run mode.

Environment Variables

There's a set of environment variables that can be set to modify the operation of some of the scripts defined above.

  • DISABLE_SYSTEM_CHECK: Set to "true" to disable the check that makes sure we are running on the appropriate Ubuntu distribution in AWS. Affects all scripts.

  • DRYRUN: Must be set to either "true" of "false" when running script sync-with-upstream.sh, and to "false" when running script push-merge.sh.

  • PUSH_GIT_USER, PUSH_GIT_PASSWORD: Set to the git credentials used to push updates to package repositories. Affects scripts sync-with-upstream.sh and push-merge.sh.

  • DEFAULT_REVISION: Default revision to use for packages that do not have a revision defined. If not set, it will be auto-generated from the timestamp. Applies to buildpkg.sh.

  • DEFAULT_GIT_BRANCH: The product branch that is being built or updated and must be set via DEFAULT_GIT_BRANCH. It can either be set to a development branch, such as "develop", or a release tag, such as "release/6.0.6.0". The product branch is used in multiple instances. When running setup.sh, it will determine what linux-package-mirror link to use when fetching packages from apt (although those links can be overridden via DELPHIX_PACKAGE_MIRROR_MAIN and DELPHIX_PACKAGE_MIRROR_SECONDARY). When running buildpkg.sh, it will determine which branch to fetch from the package's repository, unless it is overridden via -b; if the package has build-dependencies on other linux-pkg packages, those dependencies will be fetched from an S3 url that is versioned based on the product branch (although the package dependencies URLs can be overridden via package_S3_URL variables). Finally, when running sync-with-upstream.sh or push-merge.sh it defines what branch of the package is being updated.

  • TARGET_KERNEL_FLAVOURS: Some packages have build dependencies on the linux kernel. Those packages have PACKAGE_DEPENDENCIES="@linux-kernel" in their config.sh. By default, those packages are built for all the supported kernel flavours (see SUPPORTED_KERNEL_FLAVORS in common.sh), however it is possible to restrict which kernel flavours those packages are built for.

  • package_GIT_URL, package_GIT_BRANCH, package_VERSION, package_REVISION: Can be used to override defaults for a given package. package is the package name in upper case with - converted to _. For instance CLOUD_INIT_GIT_BRANCH=feature1 would set the branch to fetch package cloud-init from to feature1. This is useful when running buildlist.sh to override defaults for multiple packages. Applies to both buildlist.sh and buildpkg.sh.

  • package_S3_URL: Similar to the package_VAR variables above. This is used to override the default S3 location for where package build-dependencies are fetched for a given linux-pkg package. For instance, if you are building bpftrace, which has PACKAGE_DEPENDENCIES="bcc" in its config, the fetch_dependencies() stage in the build will fetch the latest build artifacts of the bcc package from a predetermined S3 location. If you pass BCC_S3_URL=s3://path/to/custom/bcc/artifacts then those artifacts will be fetched insteasd.

  • DELPHIX_PACKAGE_MIRROR_MAIN, DELPHIX_PACKAGE_MIRROR_SECONDARY: When the setup.sh script is run, it will configure the apt sources to point to versioned delphix mirrors of the Ubuntu archive (MAIN mirror) and of some auxiliary archives (SECONDARY mirror). Delphix has many snapshots of those mirrors at different points in time, and if you want to use a custom snapshot, you can pass it in those environment variables.

  • JENKINS_OPS_DIR: When fetching artifacts from other linux-pkg packages that are marked as dependencies of a package, by default we look for a specific S3 path that contains production package artifacts generated by post-push jobs of the ops Jenkins agent. The production ops Jenkins agent stores artifacts in the special jenkins-ops sub-directory. When using a developer ops Jenkins agent, it stores build artifacts in a different S3 sub-directory: jenkins-ops.<developer>. By setting JENKINS_OPS_DIR to that sub-directory you can instruct linux-pkg to fetch artifacts of build dependencies produced by the developer Jenkins instance instead of the production one.

  • DEPENDENCIES_BASE_URL: When fetching artifacts from other linux-pkg packages that are marked as dependencies of a package, we look for a specific s3 path based on what product branch or version we are building for, which is defined by DEFAULT_GIT_BRANCH. If DEPENDENCIES_BASE_URL is left unset, then the path will be determined automatically. DEPENDENCIES_BASE_URL is most useful when set to the input-artifacts of a previous appliance-build run, i.e. "s3://.../input-artifacts/combined-packages/packages".

Package Definition

For each package built by this framework, there must be a file named packages/<package>/config.sh. It defines some default variables and various hooks for building the package. When buildpkg.sh is invoked for building a package, it calls load_package_config(), which sources the appropriate config.sh file and then executes the various hooks defined for the package. The bash library lib/common.sh contains various functions that can be called from the hooks or the various scripts.

Package Variables

Here is a list of variables that can be defined for a package:

  • DEFAULT_PACKAGE_GIT_URL: (Mandatory) Git repository to fetch the package source code from. This is also the repository that is used when pushing changes with the push-updates.sh script. Note that this must be an https:// URL. One exception is if the source of the package being built isn't fetched from git. In this case, set this to "none".

  • PACKAGE_DEPENDENCIES: (Optional) If the build of this package requires fetching artifacts from other linux-pkg packages, those should be specified in PACKAGE_DEPENDENCIES, as a space-separated list. The dependencies will be fetched in the fetch_dependencies() step into <WORKDIR>/<dep>/ where "dep" is the dependency's name. A special value can be passed for packages that target all the supported flavours of the linux-kernel: @linux-kernel.

  • UPSTREAM_SOURCE_PACKAGE: (Optional) Third-party packages that have an update_upstream hook and are updated from an Ubuntu source package should set this to the name of the source package.

  • UPSTREAM_GIT_URL, UPSTREAM_GIT_BRANCH: (Optional) Third-party packages that have an update_upstream hook and are updated from a git repository should set this to the upstream git url and branch.

  • FORCE_PUSH_ON_UPDATE: (Optional) This applies to some third-party packages that have an update_upstream hook. Most third-party packages are synced with upstream by performing a simple "git-merge" command, so when the merge is pushed it can be done with "git push". However some packages, like the linux-kernel ones, perform a rebase instead, and so the merge must be force-pushed instead. If you want to use force push to push an auto-merge, set FORCE_PUSH_ON_UPDATE to "true". Note that a safety check is always performed prior to doing the push to make that the target branch has not changed since the auto-merge commit was generated, however disabling force-push by default is an extra precaution.

  • SKIP_COPYRIGHTS_CHECK: (Optional) By default, at the end of a package's build we check that each produced deb contains a copyright file, unless SKIP_COPYRIGHTS_CHECK is set to "true".

Package stages and hooks

When operations are performed on a package by build or auto-update scripts, such as buildpkg.sh or sync-with-upstream.sh, those operations are usually split into high-level tasks called "stages". Some of those stages can be modified or must be defined in a package's config file, so we refer to them here as "hooks". Hooks that have a default definition are stored in the default-package-config.sh file.

Other "stages" are not meant to be modified and aren't functionally different from regular function calls, we want to give them more visibility in the build process as they are deemed as important high-levels tasks, so they are called via the stage() helper function.

Fetch (hook)

The fetch() hook is optional, as a default is provided and should be used. It is called when fetching the source code of the package to build or to update. The repository is cloned into <WORKDIR>/repo and checked out as branch repo-HEAD. If we are performing a package update, then we also fetch the upstreams/develop branch into upstream-HEAD. The default should only be overridden when not fetching the package source from git.

Prepare (hook)

The prepare() hook is optional. It is called before calling the build hook and normally installs the build dependencies for the package.

Build (hook)

The build() hook is mandatory. It is responsible for building the package and storing the build products into packages/<package>/tmp/artifacts/.

Update Upstream (hook)

The update_upstream() hook should only be defined for third party packages that can be auto-updated. It is responsible for fetching the latest upstream source code on top of branch upstream-HEAD of our fetched repository in <WORKDIR>/repo. Note that any changes should be rebased on top of the upstreams/develop branch. If changes are detected, file <WORKDIR>/upstream-updated should be created.

Merge With Upstream (hook)

The merge_with_upstream() hook is called after the update_upstream() hook when a package is updated via sync-with-upstream.sh. Whereas update_upstream() updates the upstream-HEAD branch, merge_with_upstream then merges the upstream-HEAD branch into the repo-HEAD branch. For most third-party packages this can be left unset as the default will be used. For packages that have a more complex merge strategy, such as the linux-kernel packages, this hook can be used.

Checkstyle (hook)

The checkstyle() hook is optional. It is called before building the package if -c is provided to buildpkg.sh. Note that this hook isn't currently used by our build automation and is more of a prototype for an idea.

Fetch Dependencies

fetch_dependencies is an immutable stage. It is called for fetching build artifacts from other linux-pkg packages that are required for performing the build. See the PACKAGE_DEPENDENCIES package variable for mroe info.

Store Build Info

store_build_info() is an immutable stage. It is called after the build() stage. It is responsible for storing some build info / metadata, such as the git hash used to perform the build. Some of the build info that is stored is used by build automation, so care must be exercised when modifying it.

Post Build Checks

post_build_checks() is an immutable stage. It is responsible for performing post-build checks that are common to all packages.

One of the checks verifies that each debian package produced has a copyright file associated with it in the right location. This file is used elsewhere in the product to generate the license information for the appliance. This check can be skipped for a package by defining SKIP_COPYRIGHTS_CHECK=true in its config file.

Package environment variables

In addition to any variables defined by the package itself, a few environment variables are set-up by the framework. Here is a quick list:

  • PACKAGE: The name of the package being built.

  • PACKAGE_GIT_URL, PACKAGE_GIT_BRANCH, PACKAGE_VERSION, PACKAGE_REVISION: Those variables are set by the framework depending on the corresponding DEFAULT_{*} variables defined in the package's config.sh and on other environment variables that are passed to the framework. For more details, refer to get_package_config_from_env() in lib/config.sh.

  • WORKDIR: Directory where the package is fetched, built, etc. See Package WORKDIR.

  • KERNEL_VERSIONS: Space separated list of kernel versions that the package should be built for. determine_kernel_versions() must be called before using this variable.

Package WORKDIR

Each package is being fetched, built and updated in directory linux-pkg/packages/<package>/tmp/, referred to as WORKDIR. Whenever a script is called to operate a package, the WORKDIR directory is recreated and a linux-pkg/workdir symlink is created that points to this WORKDIR.

The following sub-directories are created in WORKDIR:

  • repo: where the repository is fetched and built.

  • artifacts: where the build artifacts are stored.

  • source: where the source package is fetched when updating upstream from a source package.

The following files are created in WORKDIR:

  • upstream_tag: During a package's auto-update, we may wish to also push a tag fetched from the upstream repository for informational purposes. If so, the upstream_tag file should be created and contain the name of the tag that needs to be pushed.

The following files are used as status indicators in WORKDIR:

  • upstream-updated: created if upstream-HEAD has updates that should be pushed.

  • repo-updated: created if repo-HEAD has updates that should be pushed, following a merge.

Adding new packages

When considering adding a new package, the workflow will depend on whether the package is a third-party package or in-house package.

Note:: If you are thinking of adding a new package to this framework, you should first read the Delphix Open-Source Policy.

Third-party package

Step 1. Pick a name for the package

If the package is already provided by Ubuntu, it's recommended to use the source package as the package name. You can get the source package name for a given package by running:

sudo apt update
sudo apt show <package name> | grep Source

It is possible that the source package is not provided and so the command above will not return anything, in which case you can use <package name> as the name of the package.

Once you've decided on a package name (we shall refer to it as <package>), create a directory for it: packages/<package>/.

Step 2. Create stub for config.sh

Next step is to create a new file: packages/<package>/config.sh. You can copy the template from template/config.sh. To get started, all we need to provide is info on where to fetch the upstream source code from.

If you are using an Ubuntu source package, you'll only need to specify the name of the source package:

UPSTREAM_SOURCE_PACKAGE="<source package name>"

If the upstream source code is instead to be retrieved from a git repository, then you need to provide the git details:

UPSTREAM_GIT_URL="<git url>"
UPSTREAM_GIT_BRANCH="<git branch>"

Step 3. Fetch the upstream source

Note that steps 3 to 5 are most useful when getting a third party package from an Ubuntu source package. When the third party package is fetched from git, you may simply fork the upstream repository and add an upstreams/develop branch that points to the develop branch; you can then update DEFAULT_PACKAGE_GIT_URL in config.sh to your forked git repository and skip to step 6.

You can fetch the upstream source code from an Ubuntu source package by running:

cd packages/<package>/tmp/
mkdir source
cd source
apt-get source <upstream-source-package>
cd ..
mv source/"<upstream-source-package>"*/ repo
cd repo
git init
git checkout -b repo-HEAD
git add -f .
git commit -m '<insert commit message here>'

TODO: create a command that will run the steps above. It used to be done by buildpkg.sh -i, but this logic has been removed.

Step 4. Create a developer repository

The next steps will require you to provide a git repository for your local version of the package. For development purposes you should create an empty repository on github, and then put the url into config.sh. Note that the URL should start with https://.

e.g.

DEFAULT_PACKAGE_GIT_URL="https://github.com/<developer>/<package>"

Step 5. Push to your developer repository

Next step is to push the upstream code to the newly created repository to your developer repository. You should push the initial commit to both the develop branch and the upstreams/develop branch.

Step 6. Build the package

In this step you'll need to define a few hooks in config.sh. In the hooks you can leverage convenience functions provided by lib/common.sh.

To build the package you'll most likely need to install some build dependencies. If that is the case, you should add a prepare() hook that will install those build dependencies. For an Ubuntu source package, those dependencies can be installed by calling install_build_deps_from_control_file(). For other packages, you can usually find the build dependencies in the project's README. It is recommended to edit the debian/control file of the package to list the required build dependencies, so that install_build_deps_from_control_file() can be used. Otherwise, you can also use the install_pkgs() lib function to install packages.

Next step is to add a build() hook. It is recommended to use the dpkg_buildpackage_default() function.

Note that if you are using an Ubuntu source package, you should now be ready to build the package.

For a package that doesn't have a debian metadata directory already defined in its source tree, you'll need to create it, and push the changes to the develop branch of your developer repository. See Common Steps > Creating debian metadirectory for more details.

Once this is all ready, you can try building the package by running:

./buildpkg.sh <package>

Step 7. Make the package auto-updatable

If you want the package to be automatically updated with upstream (strongly recommended), you'll need to add the update_upstream() hook to config.sh. You should use the following functions provided by lib/common.sh:

  • update_upstream_from_source_package() if UPSTREAM_SOURCE_PACKAGE is set.

  • update_upstream_from_git() if UPSTREAM_GIT_URL & UPSTREAM_GIT_BRANCH are set.

Step 8. Add package to package-lists

See Common Steps > Add package to package-lists.

Step 9. Test your changes

See section Testing Your Changes.

Step 10. Make the package official

See Common Steps > Make the package official.

Step 11. Submit a Pull-Request for your changes to linux-pkg

In-house package

Steps for adding an in-house package are slightly different than for a third-party package.

This example assumes that the source code for the project is already present in a git repository and contains a Makefile with instructions to compile the project. If the debian metadata directory is not in the source tree, see Common Steps > Creating debian metadirectory.

Step 1. Create config.sh

We will refer to the name you picked for your package as <package>. Make sure the name doesn't conflict with an existing Ubuntu package.

You'll need to create a new directory: packages/<package>/ and add a new config.sh file in it. You can copy the template from template/config.sh. In config.sh, you'll need to define two variables:

  • DEFAULT_PACKAGE_GIT_URL: the https:// git URL for the source code of the package.

e.g.:

DEFAULT_PACKAGE_GIT_URL="https://github.com/delphix/<package>"

Step 2. Add package hooks

If your package needs some build dependencies, you'll want to add a prepare() hook to config.sh which will install those build dependencies. It is recommended to use the install_pkgs() function provided by lib/common.sh. Next step is to add a build() hook. It is recommended to use the dpkg_buildpackage_default() function provided by lib/common.sh.

Once those hooks are set-up, you can try building your package by running:

./buildpkg.sh <package>

Step 3. Make the package official

See Common Steps > Make the package official

Step 4. Submit a Pull-Request for your changes to linux-pkg

Common Steps

Those steps apply to both third-party and in-house packages.

Creating debian metadirectory

You can refer to the Debian Maintainer Guide here. Note that packages built by gradle, such as the delphix-sso-app, do not require a debian metadirectory.

Add package to package-lists

See the Package Lists section for more info.

Make the package official

Once your new package builds and has been tested in the product, the next step is to create an official repository for it.

  1. First, you should read Delphix Open-Source Policy if you haven't already, and provide the necessary info so that a github.com/delphix/<package> repository can be created for it. You'll need to push the develop branch from your developer repository, as well as the upstreams/develop branch if it is a third-party package. Note that if you have modified develop (i.e. it diverges from upstreams/develop), you should submit your changes for review before pushing them.

  2. If this is a third-party package that is to be auto-updated by Delphix automation, you should also make sure the github.com/delphix-devops-bot user is added as a collaborator to the repository.

  3. Update DEFAULT_PACKAGE_GIT_URL in packages/<package>/config.sh to the official repository.

Testing your changes

Testing changes to an existing package

If you are not making any changes to linux-pkg, only changes to a given package managed by linux-pkg:

  1. Run git-ab-pre-push from your package's repository.

Package Lists

Package lists are basically just lists of packages defined in linux-pkg. They are mainly consumed by the Jenkins build infrastructure by calling the ./query-packages.sh utility. Jenkins needs to know which packages to build and include for a given version of the Delphix appliance.

Package lists are stored under ./package-lists, in two sub-directories: build and update. The build directory contains packages that are built and consumed by the Delphix Appliance, while the update directory contains a list of packages that are automatically synced with the upstream projects.

There are two physical build lists:

  • main.pkgs: this is the default list for packages that are to be added to the Delphix Appliance.

  • kernel-modules.pkgs: this list is similar to the main list but contains packages that have a dependency on the multiple flavours of the linux kernel that are supported by the Delphix Appliance.

There's also a virtual build list, called "linux-kernel", which lists all the linux kernel packages built by linux-pkg (one for each supported flavour of the linux kernel). You can list the contents of the virtual list by running:

./query-packages.sh list linux-kernel

There is a single update list called main.pkgs, which contains all the packages that are auto-updated nightly by Jenkins. Note that zfs is not in that list as it has a dedicated Jenkins job that tracks the upstream repository and launches as soon as there are new changes.

Most third-party packages should have an update_upstream() hook defined and be added to that list.

Versions and Branches

The framework is designed in a way to allow easy integration with the Delphix release process. The idea is that both the package build artifacts (.debs and .ddebs) and package source code should be available for each Delphix release. This should hold for both in-house and third-party packages.

Regarding the build artifacts, those should be taken care of by the existing Delphix build artifacts storage policy, available here. The relevant code for managing the build artifacts is outside of the scope of this project and lies in the devops-gate.

Regarding the source code, we expect that each package repository and the linux-pkg repository itself follows the Delphix branching policy outlined here. When creating a new branch or release for the Delphix Appliance, an external script should create the relevant branch or tag for each repository. The branch or tag should then be passed to the build in the DEFAULT_GIT_BRANCH environment variable.

Future work

When building packages for an older version of the Delphix Appliance, the build image will need to be picked accordingly. We are currently using bootstrap-18-04, but this will not be the case anymore once we switch to a newer Ubuntu distribution.
