System overview

AlmaLinux Build System Build Node - ALBS Node - is designed for the automated building of rpm packages. It uses docker and docker-compose for local\production deployment. Build Node supports several types of architectures: x86_64, aarch64, ppc64le. The support of the architectures is provided by the packages that were built for AlmaLinux Build Node specifically.

Build Node requires this albs-* services:

• AlmaLinux Build System Web-Server (albs-web-server) - puts a new build into a queue for Build Node;
• AlmaLinux Build System Build Node (albs-node) - receives and performs a build task, sends the results as artifacts to PULP, informs web-server about results.

Build Node sends a request to the Web-Server. If there is an idle task (not started), Build Node receives back a build task to build packages. After the task is completed, Build Node uploads artifacts which are build logs and rpm packages to the Artifact Storage (PULP).
