📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Chores
    • Updated the development container to include the VyOS development package repository.
    • Added repository signing configuration to support verified package downloads.

Walkthrough

Changes

The Docker image now includes the VyOS rolling APT repository and its archive signing key. The Dockerfile copies both files into the system locations used for signed package retrieval.

VyOS APT repository

Layer / File(s) Summary
Repository source and signing key
docker/Dockerfile:200-203, docker/vyos-dev.list:1, docker/vyos-dev.key:1-53
The Docker build installs the VyOS APT source list and ASCII-armored signing key. The repository entry references the keyring for archive signature verification.

🧰 Additional context used
🔍 Remote MCP vyos.dev

Relevant context

  • T9216 — “Docker: remove VyOS binary repository from build container” is Resolved with Wishlist priority. It states the repository was originally added so pylint could find python3-vici; removal was intended to avoid a circular repository dependency because pylint could ignore the import instead.
  • T9216’s comment history links the removal work to vyos-build PR #1270 and vyos-1x PR #5410.
  • Historical build issues document failures when VyOS repositories were unavailable: a current repository returned 404 during Docker image construction, while a sagitta repository returned 403/not signed during ISO builds. This change therefore reintroduces a concrete external availability dependency for Docker builds.

Search VyOS T6264 packages.vyos.net repository outage signature failure and VyOS Docker vyos-dev.list rolling repository architectures

💡 Result:

The issues reported under VyOS task T6264 relate to the inability to build older VyOS images (such as 1.3/Equuleus and 1.4/Sagitta) due to inaccessible package repositories [1][2]. When attempting to build these images using the standard VyOS Docker build process, the system attempts to fetch packages from remote repositories like dev.packages.vyos.net, which returns a 403 Forbidden error (often associated with Cloudflare blocks) [3][4][5]. This 403 error causes the APT process to fail to download the repository metadata (InRelease), which is then followed by a "repository is not signed" signature failure message because the repository information could not be retrieved [2][3][4][5]. Regarding the VyOS Docker repository configuration, the vyos-dev.list file is used within the vyos-build Docker images to configure the package sources for the build environment [6][7]. The build system typically supports multiple architectures, such as amd64 and arm64 (also referred to as arm64v8 in some Dockerfiles) [6][7][8][9]. The core issue for users attempting to build historical LTS versions (like 1.3 or 1.4) is that these pre-built package repositories are no longer accessible for public access [5]. To build these versions today, it is required that users build all necessary packages from source, host their own Debian repository, and point the vyos-build tools to that custom repository [5]. Official pre-built package repository access is now primarily focused on the latest "current" or rolling releases [3][5].

Provide a fallback for packages.vyos.net.

The repository currently exposes rolling metadata and vyos-1x indexes for amd64 and arm64. The Dockerfile adds this source unconditionally, so any outage or signing-key change aborts the build at apt-get update. Add a maintained mirror or an explicit fallback and test it in CI.
