Introduction

This guide provides instructions for developers to build and run Harbor from source code.

Step 1: Prepare for a build environment for Harbor

Harbor is deployed as several Docker containers and most of the code is written in Go language. The build environment requires Docker, Docker Compose and golang development environment. Please install the below prerequisites:

Software	Required Version
docker	17.05 +
docker-compose	1.23.0 +
git	1.9.1 +
make	3.81 +
golang*	1.7.3 +
*optional, required only if you use your own Golang environment.

Step 2: Getting the source code

   $ git clone https://github.com/goharbor/harbor

Step 3: Building and installing Harbor

Configuration

Edit the file make/harbor.yml and make necessary configuration changes such as hostname, admin password and mail server. Refer to Installation and Configuration Guide for more info.

   $ cd harbor
   $ vi make/harbor.yml

Compiling and Running

You can compile the code by one of the three approaches:

I. Build with official Golang image

• Get official Golang image from docker hub:

     $ docker pull golang:1.12.5
  

• Build, install and bring up Harbor without Notary:

     $ make install GOBUILDIMAGE=golang:1.12.5 COMPILETAG=compile_golangimage
  

• Build, install and bring up Harbor with Notary:

     $ make install GOBUILDIMAGE=golang:1.12.5 COMPILETAG=compile_golangimage NOTARYFLAG=true
  

• Build, install and bring up Harbor with Clair:

     $ make install GOBUILDIMAGE=golang:1.12.5 COMPILETAG=compile_golangimage CLAIRFLAG=true
  

II. Compile code with your own Golang environment, then build Harbor

• Move source code to $GOPATH

     $ mkdir $GOPATH/src/github.com/goharbor/
     $ cd ..
     $ mv harbor $GOPATH/src/github.com/goharbor/.
  

• Build, install and run Harbor without Notary and Clair:

     $ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/goharbor/harbor
     $ make install
  

• Build, install and run Harbor with Notary and Clair:

     $ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/goharbor/harbor
     $ make install -e NOTARYFLAG=true CLAIRFLAG=true
  

Verify your installation

If everything worked properly, you can get the below message:

   ...
   Start complete. You can visit harbor now.

Refer to Installation and Configuration Guide for more information about managing your Harbor instance.

Appendix

• Using the Makefile

The Makefile contains these configurable parameters:

Variable	Description
BASEIMAGE	Container base image, default: photon
DEVFLAG	Build model flag, default: dev
COMPILETAG	Compile model flag, default: compile_normal (local golang build)
NOTARYFLAG	Notary mode flag, default: false
CLAIRFLAG	Clair mode flag, default: false
HTTPPROXY	NPM http proxy for Clarity UI builder
REGISTRYSERVER	Remote registry server IP address
REGISTRYUSER	Remote registry server user name
REGISTRYPASSWORD	Remote registry server user password
REGISTRYPROJECTNAME	Project name on remote registry server
VERSIONTAG	Harbor images tag, default: dev
PKGVERSIONTAG	Harbor online and offline version tag, default:dev

• Predefined targets:

Target	Description
all	prepare env, compile binaries, build images and install images
prepare	prepare env
compile	compile ui and jobservice code
compile_portal	compile portal code
compile_ui	compile ui binary
compile_jobservice	compile jobservice binary
build	build Harbor docker images (default: using build_photon)
build_photon	build Harbor docker images from Photon OS base image
install	compile binaries, build images, prepare specific version of compose file and startup Harbor instance
start	startup Harbor instance (set NOTARYFLAG=true when with Notary)
down	shutdown Harbor instance (set NOTARYFLAG=true when with Notary)
package_online	prepare online install package
package_offline	prepare offline install package
pushimage	push Harbor images to specific registry server
clean all	remove binary, Harbor images, specific version docker-compose file, specific version tag and online/offline install package
cleanbinary	remove ui and jobservice binary
cleanimage	remove Harbor images
cleandockercomposefile	remove specific version docker-compose
cleanversiontag	remove specific version tag
cleanpackage	remove online/offline install package

EXAMPLE:

Push Harbor images to specific registry server

   $ make pushimage -e DEVFLAG=false REGISTRYSERVER=[$SERVERADDRESS] REGISTRYUSER=[$USERNAME] REGISTRYPASSWORD=[$PASSWORD] REGISTRYPROJECTNAME=[$PROJECTNAME]

Note: need add "/" on end of REGISTRYSERVER. If REGISTRYSERVER is not set, images will be pushed directly to Docker Hub.

   $ make pushimage -e DEVFLAG=false REGISTRYUSER=[$USERNAME] REGISTRYPASSWORD=[$PASSWORD] REGISTRYPROJECTNAME=[$PROJECTNAME]

Clean up binaries and images of a specific version

   $ make clean -e VERSIONTAG=[TAG]

Note: If new code had been added to Github, the git commit TAG will change. Better use this command to clean up images and files of previous TAG.

By default, the make process create a development build. To create a release build of Harbor, set the below flag to false.

   $ make XXXX -e DEVFLAG=false
