docker/create-env (may get renamed):

  • does a preflight check
  • figures out the right ops files
  • runs create-env
  • uploads a stemcell
  • uploads cloud configs

resulting in a director that's ready for local development

also - have ci keep a docker/use-resolute-rosetta.yml ops file up to date with the latest rosetta stemcell

Walkthrough

Adds docker/create-env, which automates local BOSH Director creation and deletion through the Docker CPI. The script supports Resolute, Rosetta compatibility, custom stemcells, releases, ops files, variables, dry runs, and recorded destroy operations. CI adds the Resolute Rosetta stemcell resource and update job. Documentation describes the workflow. Tests validate syntax, command help, ops-file ordering, stemcell URLs, overrides, and destroy rendering.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 06d18

Other local users could read credentials stored in the run record, so its permissions should be restricted before merge.

Inline comments:
In `@docker/create-env`:
- Around line 595-601: Update the subnet lookup in the network inspection block
to read only the first IPAM configuration entry, preventing multiple subnet
values from being concatenated before assigning NETWORK_SUBNET. Revise the
warning in this block so it does not claim the existing subnet is smaller than
10.245.0.0/16 unless that comparison is actually validated; retain accurate
guidance for differing subnet ranges.
- Around line 384-389: Update write_rosetta_compat_opsfile and
write_rosetta_compat_cc_opsfile to create WORK_DIR with mkdir -p before writing
their generated files, ensuring both functions work when no earlier operation
has initialized the directory.
- Around line 616-618: Update the squatter probe loop around the docker inspect
check so non-matching containers do not produce a failing loop status; ensure
the loop and its pipeline remain successful when no container matches, including
when head closes the pipe early, while preserving the existing
matching-container output.
- Around line 433-441: Update the environment recording section in create-env to
persist the four build_ops overrides INTERNAL_IP, INTERNAL_GW, DIRECTOR_NAME,
and DOCKER_HOST_URI alongside the existing values. Ensure load_run_record can
restore these exact values for --destroy, rather than relying on NETWORK_SUBNET
or CLIENT_DOCKER_HOST defaults.

In `@docs/bosh-on-docker.md`:
- Around line 86-87: Update the Apple Silicon reference near the Resolute
documentation to point to an existing heading, or add a heading that generates
the `#resolute-on-apple-silicon` anchor, ensuring the link resolves correctly.

In `@tests/run-checks.sh`:
- Around line 109-114: Make the --destroy dry-run check self-contained by
ensuring the Darwin/arm64 Resolute environment record is recreated immediately
before invoking "${create_env}" --destroy --dry-run. Update the block around the
destroy_ops assignment and its assert_ops call so it does not depend on state
left by earlier dry-run cases, while preserving validation against
resolute_rosetta_ops.

Inline comments:
In `@docker/create-env`:
- Around line 765-766: Update the .envrc handling in the create and destroy
paths: create the symlink only when .envrc does not exist, never replace an
existing symlink, and remove it only when readlink .envrc resolves to bosh.env.
Preserve unrelated existing .envrc files and symlinks.
- Around line 749-750: Update the generated bosh.env credential commands near
BOSH_CLIENT_SECRET and BOSH_CA_CERT to create a shell-escaped credentials path
using printf -v creds_file '%q' "${PWD}/creds.yml", then reuse creds_file in
every bosh interpolate command, including the additional credential entries.
- Around line 544-545: Update the cache reuse condition around stemcell_matches
so an existing cached stemcell is reused only when STEMCELL_SHA1 is non-empty
and matches the file. For remote --stemcell overrides without a checksum, bypass
the cache and download the requested URL again.
- Line 839: Update the needs_rosetta_compat condition in the environment
creation flow to evaluate during dry runs by removing the DRY_RUN exclusion, so
dry-run rendering includes the same Rosetta compatibility ops file as a real
run. Add a regression check covering generated rosetta-compat.yml output.
- Around line 447-448: Update load_run_record so USER_OPS and USER_VARS remain
global after sourcing the run record inside the function; serialize them as
ordinary assignments or explicitly restore them with global scope before destroy
invokes build_ops, preserving custom -o and -v arguments for delete-env.

In `@docker/create-env`:
- Around line 687-691: Update preflight to validate that python3 is available
before invoking current_vm_cid, and report a clear error when it is missing so
ownership checks do not proceed with an empty CID. Preserve current_vm_cid
behavior when python3 is available.
- Around line 873-875: Update save_run_record so dry-run execution does not
overwrite an existing state.json record; preserve the existing record for later
--destroy replay while retaining normal run-record persistence for non-dry-run
execution.
- Line 694: Update the repository guard condition around the PWD and
bosh_deployment checks to match only the checkout directory itself or paths
beneath it, using a path-component boundary so sibling paths such as
bosh-deployment-work are not rejected.
- Around line 620-630: Validate that both INTERNAL_IP and INTERNAL_GW belong to
the discovered subnet before assigning it to NETWORK_SUBNET in the
existing-network preflight flow. If either address is outside the subnet, fail
with the existing recreate/configuration guidance instead of continuing; if
validation uses python3, also fail closed when python3 is unavailable.

In `@tests/run-checks.sh`:
- Around line 13-14: Update clean_tmp in tests/run-checks.sh to create and use
an invocation-owned private temporary root for all temporary files, then remove
only that root during EXIT-trap cleanup. Replace the broad ${tmp_file}.* and
${HOME}/.bosh-deployment-create-env-check.* wildcard deletions while preserving
cleanup on both successful and failed runs.

Restrict access to the run record.

USER_VARS can contain passwords or tokens, and save_run_record persists them in .create-env/run for normal and dry-run creates. mkdir -p and > do not enforce restrictive permissions. A new record can be readable by other local users through the active umask, and replacing an existing record preserves its mode.

Ensure .create-env is mode 0700 and set .create-env/run to mode 0600 before writing, including when replacing an existing record. Use umask 077 for creation so the record remains private.
