Autobuild server migrated
Hello,
We have migrated autobuild.buildroot.org to a new server. The DNS entries have just been updated by Peter, so it might take a little while for you to have the new DNS entry. The new server IP address is 138.201.205.61, the old server IP address is 94.23.254.152.
The old server was a super old dual core Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU D425 machine, with only a spinning hard drive. It was really, really slow. Also, it was owned/rented by me personally.
The new server is a 4 cores (x2 threads) Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1275 v5 @ 3.60GHz machine, with NVMe storage, that the Buildroot Association is renting (please become a member of the association to support it, or ask your company to sponsor).
The new server is therefore much more responsive, especially when searching through build results. A few hints for those of you who may not be familiar:
- You can create some search queries by manipulating the URL. For example:
http://autobuild.buildroot.org/?reason=host-gcc-final%
will list all build failures related to *any* version of host-gcc-final (% acts as a wildcard)
http://autobuild.buildroot.net/?reason=host-gcc-final%&arch=powerpc64le
will list all build failures related to any version of host-gcc-final, which occurred on powerpc64le
You can also combine that with &libc=musl&subarch=power8&branch=master for example
- http://autobuild.buildroot.net/search.php provides much more advanced search capabilities. Most notably, you can search build results based on config options. You can for example search all build results that have BR2_PACKAGE_SYSTEMD=y, or any other option.
This is particularly useful if you are looking at a package build failure, and wondering if this package was ever built as part of a fully successful build.
This search used to be painfully slow on the old server. It is now still a bit slow, but much more usable.
Back to the server: we intend to migrate the official web site
(https://www.buildroot.org) to this new server, and also our backup mirror (https://sources.buildroot.net), in an effort to consolidate our infrastructure.
Best regards,
Thomas
