Meeds Public Distribution

How to build ?

Pre-requisite : Apache Maven >= 3.5.0

To build the Meeds Community package, from the root directory just launch :

mvn install

Take a coffee, a tea, whatever you like the time that Maven downloads the earth and then you'll have the result in plf-community-tomcat-standalone/target/meeds-community-<<CURRENT_VERSION>>/meeds-community-<<CURRENT_VERSION>>

If you are using a Maven Repository Manager you need to proxify our repository https://repository.exoplatform.org/public/ (snapshots and releases).

If you are using a mirror in your maven settings you need to exlude our repository identifier repository.exoplatform.org if your mirror don't proxify it.

Build options

Add -Dskip-archive in your build command line to not generate the final zip archive (and thus gain few seconds of build).

How to launch ?

From the top level directory of the project oou can launch the server you just generated with :

plf-community-tomcat-standalone/target/meeds-community-<<CURRENT_VERSION>>/meeds-community-<<CURRENT_VERSION>>/start_eXo.(sh|bat)

Use -h or --help to list all options.

Known issues

Windows users

Scripts have to be launched from the directory where they are otherwise you have to explicitly set the environment variable CATALINA_HOME to the server home directory path.

You can force to activate the colorized console with the option

plf-community-tomcat-standalone/target/meeds-community-<<CURRENT_VERSION>>/meeds-community-<<CURRENT_VERSION>>/start_eXo.bat --color

ghcr.io Docker image signature

Starting with Meeds 1.4.0-M04 from the github container registry, Meeds docker images will be signed with [cosign] (https://github.com/sigstore/cosign) tool.

In order to verify the signature of the Meeds docker image, please install the "cosign" command line tool. Then please follow these instructions:

• Save the following public key to cosign.pub file:

-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----
MFkwEwYHKoZIzj0CAQYIKoZIzj0DAQcDQgAE2XMvg1dA7ZgfLB3c2nc8E/D+IsS+
DjvPlcu00HT94eL4R8QpcQO7YoBiiqFkxBnuHYl7nEclZ/fyQ1srG+UMjw==
-----END PUBLIC KEY-----

• Execute the following command:

cosign verify --key cosign.pub ghcr.io/meeds-io/meeds/meeds-io:<tag>

Example:

cosign verify --key cosign.pub ghcr.io/meeds-io/meeds/meeds-io:develop

Output:

[{"critical":{"identity":{"docker-reference":"ghcr.io/meeds-io/meeds/meeds-io"},"image":{"docker-manifest-digest":"sha256:da29f98a3000ae5232ceb2502ce2ae10903969c762b1d3d4e43a8b7104b87888"},"type":"cosign container image signature"},"optional":null}]
