It spawns a web ui that allows you to point to cloneable git trees, initializes lxd containers and builds snap packages of the provided source trees. To use fabrica you can use the steps below: ``` snap install lxd sudo lxd init # hit enter for all questions snap install fabrica snap connect fabrica:lxd lxd:lxd snap connect fabrica:mount-observe snap connect fabrica:system-observe snap connect fabrica:ssh-keys ``` Now fabrica will come up on port 8000. Point your web browser to (or to the external IP instead of localhost) and add some git tree to it. Note that in its current state fabrica only builds snap packages for the used host architecture (i.e. to build armhf or arm64 snaps, you need to use a raspberry Pi4 and install lxd and fabrica on it) The branches are checked every 5 minutes for new commits. Builds start automatically when a new commit is detected. Since the service is currently only available via http and also has no authentication management, it is recommended to only use it in in-house setups.

They update automatically and roll back gracefully. Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions. ### Enable snapd Snap is available for [CentOS 7.6+](https://snapcraft.io/install/fabrica/centos), and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.6+, from the [Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL) (EPEL) repository. The EPEL repository can be added to your system with the following command: ``` sudo yum install epel-release ``` Snap can now be installed as follows: ``` sudo yum install snapd ``` Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled: ``` sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket ``` To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`: ``` sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap ``` Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly. ### Install fabrica - your own snap build factory To install fabrica - your own snap build factory, simply use the following command: ``` sudo snap install fabrica ``` ### Other popular snaps… [See more...](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) [See more in Featured](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) ### More things to do… #### [Get the snap store](https://snapcraft.io/snap-store) Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap. #### [Learn more about snaps](https://snapcraft.io/docs) Interested to find out more about snaps?
