Open Build Service

Open Build Service The Open Build Service (OBS) is a generic system to build and distribute binary packages from sources in an automatic, consistent, and reproducible way. You can release packages as well as updates, add-ons, appliances, and entire distributions for a wide range of operating systems and hardware architectures. More information can be found on openbuildservice.org. The OBS consists of a backend and a frontend. The backend implements all the core functionality (i.e. building packages). The frontend provides a web application and XML API for interacting with the backend. Additionally, there is a command line client (osc) for the API which is developed in a separate repository. Community You can discuss with the OBS Team via IRC on the channel opensuse-buildservice or you can use our mailing list [email protected]. Please refer to the openSUSE Mailing Lists page to learn about our mailing list subscription and additional information. Installation To run the OBS in production, we recommend using our appliance which is the whole package: A recent and stable Linux Operating System (openSUSE) bundled and pre-configured with all the server and OBS components you need to get going. If that is not for you because you have some special needs for your setup (e.g. different partition schema, SLES as base system, etc.), you can also install our packages and run a setup wizard. The docker compose setup is meant only for development. 1. Add the OBS software repository with zypper. Please be aware, that the needed URL differs, depending on your Base Operating System. We use openSUSE Leap 15.4 in this example.
