💅 laminard — the Laminar CI server, bestie

okay so you found the man page for laminard, aka the whole Laminar CI server situation. this is section 8, she's a system/admin girly. sit down, grab a strawberry 🍓, we're doing this.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

laminard [-v]

that's it. that's the whole vibe. one optional flag. iconic behaviour honestly.

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So. You run laminard and it starts the Laminar CI server in the foreground — like, it stays right there in your terminal, main character energy, no backgrounding, no daemon vanishing act. 👑

If you pass -v, you get verbose logging turned on, which means it will tell you everything, no cap. it's giving "she's oversharing and we love that". 💖

And literally everything else about how it behaves? Not flags. Not options. It's all environment variables, babe. Scroll down, we have a whole list. 🦋

🎀 ENVIRONMENT 🎀

these are the knobs you turn. all of them. every single one.

  • LAMINAR_HOME — the root location where all the laminar stuff lives: configuration, the database, build workspaces and the archive. basically her whole bedroom. 🌈
    • Default: /var/lib/laminar
  • LAMINAR_BIND_HTTP — the interface laminard binds to so it can serve up the Web UI. it can take the form IP:PORT, unix:PATH/TO/SOCKET or unix-abstract:NAME. pick your fighter 💅
    • Default: *:8080
  • LAMINAR_BIND_HRPC — the interface laminard binds to so it can accept RPC from laminarc. same shapes as above: IP:PORT, unix:PATH/TO/SOCKET or unix-abstract:NAME. 🫶
    • Default: unix-abstract:laminar
  • LAMINAR_TITLE — the page title that shows up in the web frontend. name your baby. ✨
  • LAMINAR_KEEP_RUNDIRS — set this and laminar stops immediately deleting job rundirs like $LAMINAR_HOME/run/$JOB/$RUN. the value should be an integer representing the number of rundirs to keep. she's a hoarder now, respectfully. 🗂️
    • Default: 0
  • LAMINAR_ARCHIVE_URL — the base url used to request artifacts. real talk: Laminar can serve build artifacts, and it absolutely will if you leave this unset — but the method it uses is very naive and inefficient. 😭 bestie, let a real webserver handle serving those requests. do yourself a favour. 🙈

🧚 FILES 🧚

  • /etc/laminar.conf — variable assignments in this file get exported by systemd or whatever other init system you're running, before it launches the system-wide installation of Laminar. so this is where you set the vibes globally. 🌸

👑 AUTHORS 👑

  • Oliver Giles created Laminar CI. the founder. the blueprint. 🫡
  • Dmitry Bogatov created this manual page for the Debian project — but it can be used by others too, she's generous like that. 💜
fr fr, that's the whole page. nothing skipped, nothing invented. go build something, bestie. 🔥

this cutie was written down as Apr 03, 2019, and it's filed under LAMINARD(1) in the sources — yeah we know, section 8 header but a (1) footer, she contains multitudes. anyway. mwah. 💅
