To set up a new Linux bot, perform the following steps:
Install Ubuntu 16.04, setting up a user chrome-bot
and a hostname like skia-e-linux-NNN
. It is preferable to connect to wifi to allow for updates.
sudo apt-get install ansible git git clone https://github.com/google/skia-buildbot cd skia-buildbot/skolo/linux/ ifconfig #make note of the ethernet name sudo ansible-playbook -i "localhost," -c local setup_linux_bot.yml
Reboot the machine and connect it to the lab network.
Then, ssh in and bootstrap it to run swarming.
