mikroskeem's AUR build bot

NOTE: This is actually not ready, so it is not recommended to run it in production (don't be like me!)

Installing

• Set up new Arch Linux nspawn container (I recommend using this script made by @arti)
• Install aurutils and set it up
• Copy buildpkg to /usr/bin in builder container
• Set up OpenSMTPD server on container and host (to send emails to builder in case of failure)
  • Note: Don't forget to firewall!
• Copy aur script to /usr/bin in host machine
• Set up nginx to serve packages to host (and maybe for public)
• Take look at scripts/ directory, you might find useful scripts there

Known issues

• You can't edit PKGBUILD-s
• You can't accept GPG keys automatically (insecure to do so, but you can do gpg --recv-key <key> in container shell)
• Not documentated enough!
• Probably something more I'm not currently aware of
• Storing GPG password is insecure, if your builder gets hacked, then revoke your key

TODO

• Pacman cache automatic cleanup timer
• AUR build data automatic cleanup

More ideas

• Telegram Bot to build packages?
