# Go Build Tools
[![Go Reference](https://pkg.go.dev/badge/golang.org/x/build.svg)](https://pkg.go.dev/golang.org/x/build)
This subrepository holds the source for various packages and tools that support
Go's build system and the development of the Go programming language.
## Report Issues / Send Patches
This repository uses Gerrit for code changes. To contribute, see
https://golang.org/doc/contribute.html.
The main issue tracker for the blog is located at
https://github.com/golang/go/issues. Prefix your issue with
"`x/build/DIR: `" in the subject line.
## Overview
The main components of the Go build system are:
* The **coordinator**, in
[cmd/coordinator/](https://dev.golang.org/dir/build/cmd/coordinator/),
serves https://farmer.golang.org/ and https://build.golang.org/.
It runs on GKE and coordinates the whole build system. It finds work
to do (both pre-submit "TryBot" work, and post-submit work) and executes
builds, allocating machines to run the builds. It is the owner of all machines.
It holds the state for which builds passed or failed, and the build logs.
* The Go package in [buildenv/](https://dev.golang.org/dir/build/buildenv/)
contains constants for where the dashboard and coordinator run, for prod,
staging, and local development.
* The **buildlet**, in
[cmd/buildlet/](https://dev.golang.org/dir/build/cmd/buildlet/), is the
HTTP server that runs on each worker machine to execute builds on the
coordinator's behalf. This runs on every possible GOOS/GOARCH value. The
buildlet binaries are stored on Google Cloud Storage and fetched
per-build, so we can update the buildlet binary independently of the
underlying machine images. The buildlet is the most insecure server
possible: it has HTTP handlers to read & write arbitrary content to disk,
and to execute any file on disk. It also has an SSH tunnel handler. The
buildlet must never be exposed to the Internet. The coordinator provisions
buildlets in one of three ways:
1. by creating VMs on Google Compute Engine (GCE) with custom images
configured to fetch & run the buildlet on boot, listening on port 80 in a
private network.
2. by running Linux containers (on either Google Kubernetes Engine
or GCE with the Container-Optimized OS image), with the container
images configured to fetch & run the buildlet on start, also
listening on port 80 in a private network.
3. by taking buildlets out of a pool of connected, dedicated machines. The
buildlet can run in either *listen mode* (as on GCE and GKE) or in
*reverse mode*. In reverse mode, the buildlet connects out to
https://farmer.golang.org/ and registers itself with the coordinator. The
TCP connection is then logically reversed (using
[revdial](https://dev.golang.org/dir/build/revdial/) and when the
coordinator needs to do a build, it makes HTTP requests to the coordinator
over the already-open TCP connection.
These three pools can be viewed at the coordinator's
https://farmer.golang.org/#pools.
* The [env/](https://dev.golang.org/dir/build/env/) directory describes
build environments. It contains scripts to create VM images, Dockerfiles
to create Kubernetes containers, and instructions and tools for dedicated
machines.
* **maintner** in [maintner/](https://dev.golang.org/dir/build/maintner) is
a library for slurping all of Go's GitHub and Gerrit state into memory.
The daemon **maintnerd** in
[maintner/maintnerd/](https://dev.golang.org/dir/build/maintner/maintnerd)
runs on GKE and serves https://maintner.golang.org/. The daemon watches
GitHub and Gerrit and appends to a mutation log whenever it sees new
activity. The logs are stored on GCS and served to clients.
* The [godata package](https://godoc.org/golang.org/x/build/maintner/godata)
in [maintner/godata/](https://dev.golang.org/dir/build/maintner/godata)
provides a trivial API to let anybody write programs against
Go's maintner corpus (all of our GitHub and Gerrit history), live up
to the second. It takes a few seconds to load into memory and a few hundred
MB of RAM after it downloads the mutation log from the network.
* **pubsubhelper** in
[cmd/pubsubhelper/](https://dev.golang.org/dir/build/cmd/pubsubhelper/) is
a dependency of maintnerd. It runs on GKE, is available at
https://pubsubhelper.golang.org/, and runs an HTTP server to receive
Webhook updates from GitHub on new activity and an SMTP server to receive
new activity emails from Gerrit. It then is a pubsub system for maintnerd
to subscribe to.
* The **gitmirror** server in
[cmd/gitmirror/](https://dev.golang.org/dir/build/cmd/gitmirror) mirrors
Gerrit to GitHub, and also serves a mirror of the Gerrit code to the
coordinator for builds, so we don't overwhelm Gerrit and blow our quota.
* The Go **gopherbot** bot logic runs on GKE. The code is in
[cmd/gopherbot](https://dev.golang.org/dir/build/cmd/gopherbot). It
depends on maintner via the godata package.
* The **developer dashboard** at https://dev.golang.org/ runs on GKE.
Its code is in [devapp/](https://dev.golang.org/dir/build/devapp/).
It also depends on maintner via the godata package.
* **cmd/retrybuilds**: a Go client program to delete build results from the
dashboard
### Adding a Go Builder
If you wish to run a Go builder, please email
[golang-dev@googlegroups.com](mailto:golang-dev@googlegroups.com) first. There
is documentation at https://golang.org/wiki/DashboardBuilders, but depending
on the type of builder, we may want to run it ourselves, after you prepare an
environment description (resulting in a VM image) of it. See the env directory.
