m/n/installer: reboot on fatal errors

Currently irrecoverable errors are handled by log.Fatal, which calls
os.Exit after printing the error message. As this kills the init
process, it leads the kernel to panic and print a long call trace,
obscuring the true cause of trouble. The kernel then reboots
immediately, as it is configured to do so, making it impossible to
read the logs off the screen when using a graphical console.

This patch makes the installer hang after displaying status
information.

Monogon Monorepo

This is the main repository containing the source code for the Monogon Project.

This is pre-release software - feel free to look around, and check back later for our first release!

Environment

Our build environment requires a working Podman binary (your distribution should have one).

Usage

Spinning up: scripts/create_container.sh

Spinning down: scripts/destroy_container.sh

Running commands: scripts/run_in_container.sh <...>

Using bazel using a wrapper script: scripts/bin/bazel <...> (add to your local $PATH for convenience)

IntelliJ

This repository is compatible with the IntelliJ Bazel plugin, which enables full autocompletion for external dependencies and generated code. All commands run inside the container, and necessary paths are mapped into the container.

The following steps are necessary:

  • Install Google's Bazel plugin in IntelliJ. On IntelliJ 2020.3 or later, you need to install a beta release of the plugin.

  • Add the absolute path to your ~/.cache/bazel-monogon folder to your idea64.vmoptions (Help → Edit Custom VM Options) and restart IntelliJ:

    -Dbazel.bep.path=/home/leopold/.cache/bazel-monogon

  • Set "Bazel Binary Location" in Other Settings → Bazel Settings to the absolute path of scripts/bin/bazel. This is a wrapper that will execute Bazel inside the container.

  • Use File → Import Bazel project... to create a new project from .bazelproject.

After running the first sync, everything should now resolve in the IDE, including generated code.

Metropolis

Run a single node cluster

Launch the node:

scripts/bin/bazel run //:launch

Run a kubectl command:

scripts/bin/bazel run //metropolis/cli/dbg -- kubectl describe

Run tests:

scripts/bin/bazel test //...
