Build RPM Packages with Go.
Note: This library was forked from mh-cbon/go-bin-rpm.
- Generate RPM SPEC file
- Generate RPM package
The assets/projects contains real-life examples of packaging:
- Prometheus Node Exporter
- Prometheus Blackbox Exporter
First, try building the node_exporter. If you experience failures,
please open Github Issue to get assistance.
Build node_exporter project in the following way:
cd assets/projects/node_exporter
make
The RPM will be placed into dist directory:
SCP: scp ./dist/node-exporter-0.18.1-5.el7.x86_64.rpm root@remote:/tmp/
Install: sudo yum -y localinstall ./dist/node-exporter-0.18.1-5.el7.x86_64.rpm
RPM File: ./dist/node-exporter-0.18.1-5.el7.x86_64.rpm
Build gorpm binary:
make
Next, review gorpm help:
$ gorpm -h
