Description
Motivation¶
Setting up openQA can be a bit complicated.
Therefore we should provide a way for users to do this with a single command.
This would allow non-qa engineers to reproduce openqa jobs.
Acceptance criteria¶
- AC1: There is a reasonably long one-line command that we feel confident to provide in bug reports to help non-openQA experienced users to reproduce openQA tests

Created two scripts:
https://w3.suse.de/~dheidler/openqa-bootstrap-container.sh will setup a container and run the 2nd script within the container.
https://w3.suse.de/~dheidler/openqa-bootstrap.sh will setup openQA (including a worker). This works in a container as well as on a normal linux system.

This sound like a much simpler and therefore better approach than using Docker. I haven't tested the scripts yet, but they look clean and one understands what is done. Likely easier and faster to read than the setup guide.
So I would say this could be added to the openQA repository similar to the Dockerfiles we have there as well. Or you create an own repo for now. Since it is containing URLs to internal services the internal GitLab would make most sense.
This is basically the same idea, just for creating a development setup where everything comes from Git and is executed as the regular user: https://github.com/martchus/openQA-helper
Maybe I copy your way of dealing with the API key :-)

Note that this won't really work well within docker as it is not designed to run systemd unless you do this:
docker run -d --cap-add=SYS_ADMIN -v /sys/fs/cgroup:/sys/fs/cgroup: ro tumbleweed /bin/systemd
Also you would need to make sure that /dev/kvm is available within the container.

Can you provide that "one-line" command that would also work on other operating system versions, e.g. Leap 15.1 (15.0?), as part of the documentation as we discussed today? E.g. something like curl … | bash -
If you prefer you can mention that in another ticket and close this one again

See my PR regarding doc: https://github.com/os-autoinst/openQA/pull/1945

documentation PR merged. Now what is still missing is an automatic test for the new command.

PR merged. However, the tests https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/840027 and https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/840026 did not work and can not work because they want to boot an image that is not available on that machine selection. I delete these scenarios from the job group for now to not interfer with the Tumbleweed release process. You can experiment in the Development Tumbleweed job group. At best we can reuse an existing image to not use too much space. That means no "4G-40GB" machine but one of the existing ones if that works reliably.

This is done and there are tests running on openqa.

Thank you. For reference: http://open.qa/docs/#_openqa_quick_bootstrap describes the easy and fast way to setup openQA. This is what we should also suggest to anyone that wants to quickly setup openQA, e.g. in bug reports, as mentioned in the motivation/AC
