What is DSM

DSM delegates between package/download components, and container runtime managers. It further provides an "up-facing" interface upon which remote management may be built to control the lifecyle of containerized services.

This is an initial implementation. It utilizes TR-181's datamodel concept of Execution Environment, Deployment Unit and Execution Unit. By executing actions on those entities it translates behavior to providers using adapters:

1. Packager (tar (now), LIRA (future))
2. Runtime (Dobby/crun)

Build

It assumes Linux based system. Currently tested on ubuntu/debian. DSM has an optional dependency on rbus and librbusprovider. This is currently off by default.

1. Git clone project
2. Enter main directory
3. mkdir build
4. cd build
5. cmake ..
   • if you want the rbus provider to be built add "-D ENABLE_RBUS_PROVIDER=ON" to the cmake command
6. make, and optionally make install (usually requires sudo)
7. go to /build/bin, or /usr/local/bin (after install)
8. you can see 2 executables
   • dsm - this is main daemon with management logic
   • dsmcli - this is cli connecting to dsm over socket and executing commands

Although to build the project dependencies are not required. Dobby is required in runtime to manage the container. Note: A Vagrant VM provides all dependencies for developers.

Important folders

1. repo - this is packet of test packages / deployment units
   • sample.tar and hello_world.tar are just simple packaged
   • busybox.tar is the package that has propper bundle definition created from standard busybox OCI image. It executes command sleep infinity. It is used for testing of start stop container
   • Packages may also be downloaded over HTTP by specifying http:// as the URL
   • With the default packager, packages must be of the form [package-name].tar and have the structure [package-name]/rootfs & [package-name]/config.json (These are OCI Bundles)
2. destination - this is the destination directory used for installation

Use

export DSM_CONFIG_FILE=<full_path_of_dsm.config> e.g. /home/vagrant/dsm.config (This is set by default in Vagrant VM, see src/dsm.config for an example)

1. Start dsm, % dsm
2. Give commands to dsm
   • % dsmcli eu.list
   • % dsmcli du.list
   • % dsmcli du.install [target execution env] [package name/url]
   • % dsmcli du.list
   • % dsmcli du.detail [package name]
   • % dsmcli eu.list
   • % dsmcli eu.detail [uid]
   • % dsmcli eu.start [uid]
   • % dsmcli du.detail [uid]
   • you can check also use DobbyTool list and DobbyTool info
   • % dsmcli eu.stop [uid]
   • % dsmcli du.detail [uid]

Idea

DSM is a server with controller that manages status with concept of Execution Environments, Deployment Units and Execution Units. It uses Packager and Runtime to translate commands. Each technology e.g. TAR packager, Dobby/crun runtime are attached by adapters

Repo Structure

1. src/ DSM source code
2. integration/ Materials (patch sets and scripts) for end-to-end integration in, for example, RDK-B 22q1 on RPI with TR-181 Data Model. Integration to RDK-B will ultimately be supported by modification to the relevant layers, and recipes.
3. develop/ Support for developers including Vagrant machine definition for end-to-end development from USP Data Model, to DSM, to Dobby
