BMO is Mozilla's highly customized version of Bugzilla.
Contents
If you want to contribute to BMO, you can fork this repo and get a local copy of BMO running in a few minutes using Vagrant or Docker.
You will need to install the following software:
- Vagrant 1.9.1 or later
Doing this on OSX can be accomplished with homebrew:
brew cask install vagrantFor Ubuntu 16.04, download the vagrant .dpkg directly from https://vagrantup.com. The one that ships with Ubuntu is too old.
From your BMO checkout run the following command:
vagrant upDepending on the speed of your computer and your Internet connection, this will take from a few minutes to much longer.
If this fails, please file a bug using this link.
Otherwise, you should have a working BMO developer machine!
To test it, you'll want to add an entry to /etc/hosts for bmo-web.vm pointing to 192.168.3.43.
After that, you should be able to visit http://bmo-web.vm/ from your browser. You can login as [email protected] with the password "vagrant01!" (without quotes).
After editing files in the bmo directory, you will need to run
vagrant rsync && vagrant provision --provision-with updateto see the changes applied to your vagrant VM. If the above command fails or db is changed, do a full provision:
vagrant rsync && vagrant provisionThis Vagrant environment is a very complete but scaled-down version of production BMO. It uses roughly the same RPMs (from CentOS 6, versus RHEL 6 in production) and the same perl dependencies (via https://github.com/mozilla-bteam/carton-bundles).
It includes a couple example products, some fake users, and some of BMO's real groups. Email is disabled for all users; however, it is safe to enable email as the box is configured to send all email to the 'vagrant' user on the web vm.
Most of the cron jobs and the jobqueue daemon are running. It is also configured to use memcached.
The push connector is not currently configured, nor is the Pulse publisher.
Installed on the vagrant vm is also a program called re.pl.
re.pl an interactive perl shell (somtimes called a REPL (short for Read-Eval-Print-Loop)). It loads Bugzilla.pm and you can call Bugzilla internal API methods from it, an example session is reproduced below:
re.pl
$ my $product = Bugzilla::Product->new({name => "Firefox"});
Took 0.0262260437011719 seconds.
$Bugzilla_Product1 = Bugzilla::Product=HASH(0x7e3c950);
$ $product->name
Took 0.000483036041259766 seconds.
Firefox
It supports tab completion for file names, method names and so on. For more information see Devel::REPL.
You can use the 'p' command (provided by Data::Printer) to inspect variables as well.
$ p @INC

While not yet as featureful or complete as the vagrant setup, this repository now contains a docker-compose file that will create a local bugzilla for testing.
To use docker-compose, ensure you have the latest Docker install for your environemnt (Linux, Windows, or Mac OS). If you are using Ubuntu, then you can read the next section to ensure that you have the correct docker setup.
docker-compose up --buildThen, you must configure your browser to use http://localhost:1091 as an HTTP proxy. For setting a proxy in Firefox, see Firefox Connection Settings. The procecure should be similar for other browsers.
After that, you should be able to visit http://bmo-web.vm/ from your browser. You can login as [email protected] with the password "vagrant01!" (without quotes).
On Ubuntu, Docker can be installed using apt-get. After installing, you need to do run these commands to ensure that it has installed fine:
sudo groupadd docker # add a new group called "docker"
sudo gpasswd -a <your username> docker # add yourself to "docker" groupLog in & log out of your system, so that changes in the above commands will & do this:
sudo service docker restart
docker run hello-worldIf the output of last command looks like this. then congrats you have installed docker successfully:
Hello from Docker!
This message shows that your installation appears to be working correctly.This repository is also a runnable docker container.
Currently, the entry point takes a single command argument. This can be httpd or shell.
- httpd
- This will start apache listening for connections on
$PORT - shell
- This will start an interactive shell in the container. Useful for debugging.
- PORT
- This must be a value >= 1024. The httpd will listen on this port for incoming plain-text HTTP connections. Default: 8000
- BUGZILLA_UNSAFE_AUTH_DELEGATION
- This should never be set in production. It allows auth delegation over http.
- BMO_urlbase
- The public url for this instance. Note that if this begins with https:// abd BMO_inbound_proxies is set to '*' Bugzilla will believe the connection to it is using SSL.
- BMO_attachment_base
This is the url for attachments. When the allow_attachment_display parameter is on, it is possible for a malicious attachment to steal your cookies or perform an attack on Bugzilla using your credentials.
If you would like additional security on attachments to avoid this, set this parameter to an alternate URL for your Bugzilla that is not the same as urlbase or sslbase. That is, a different domain name that resolves to this exact same Bugzilla installation.
For added security, you can insert %bugid% into the URL, which will be replaced with the ID of the current bug that the attachment is on, when you access an attachment. This will limit attachments to accessing only other attachments on the same bug. Remember, though, that all those possible domain names (such as 1234.your.domain.com) must point to this same Bugzilla instance.
- BMO_db_driver
- What SQL database to use. Default is mysql. List of supported databases can be obtained by listing Bugzilla/DB directory - every module corresponds to one supported database and the name of the module (before ".pm") corresponds to a valid value for this variable.
- BMO_db_host
- The DNS name or IP address of the host that the database server runs on.
- BMO_db_name
- The name of the database.
- BMO_db_user
- The database user to connect as.
- BMO_db_pass
- The password for the user above.
- BMO_site_wide_secret
- This secret key is used by your installation for the creation and validation of encrypted tokens. These tokens are used to implement security features in Bugzilla, to protect against certain types of attacks. It's very important that this key is kept secret.
- BMO_inbound_proxies
- This is a list of IP addresses that we expect proxies to come from. This can be '*' if only the load balancer can connect to this container. Setting this to '*' means that BMO will trust the X-Forwarded-For header.
- BMO_memcached_namespace
- The global namespace for the memcached servers.
- BMO_memcached_servers
- A list of memcached servers (ip addresses or host names). Can be empty.
- BMO_shadowdb
- The database name of the read-only database.
- BMO_shadowdbhost
- The hotname or ip address of the read-only database.
- BMO_shadowdbport
- The port of the read-only database.
- BMO_apache_size_limit
- This is the max amount of unshared memory (in kb) that the apache process is allowed to use before Apache::SizeLimit kills it.
- HTTPD_StartServers
- Sets the number of child server processes created on startup. As the number of processes is dynamically controlled depending on the load, there is usually little reason to adjust this parameter. Default: 8
- HTTPD_MinSpareServers
- Sets the desired minimum number of idle child server processes. An idle process is one which is not handling a request. If there are fewer than MinSpareServers idle, then the parent process creates new children at a maximum rate of 1 per second. Default: 5
- HTTPD_MaxSpareServers
- Sets the desired maximum number of idle child server processes. An idle process is one which is not handling a request. If there are more than MaxSpareServers idle, then the parent process will kill off the excess processes. Default: 20
- HTTPD_MaxClients
- Sets the maximum number of child processes that will be launched to serve requests. Default: 256
- HTTPD_ServerLimit
- Sets the maximum configured value for MaxClients for the lifetime of the Apache process. Default: 256
- HTTPD_MaxRequestsPerChild
- Sets the limit on the number of requests that an individual child server process will handle. After MaxRequestsPerChild requests, the child process will die. If MaxRequestsPerChild is 0, then the process will never expire. Default: 4000
- USE_NYTPROF
- Write Devel::NYTProf profiles out for each requests. These will be named /app/data/nytprof.$host.$script.$n.$pid, where $host is the hostname of the container, script is the name of the script (without extension), $n is a number starting from 1 and incrementing for each request to the worker process, and $pid is the worker process id.
- NYTPROF_DIR
- Alternative location to store profiles from the above option.
- LOG4PERL_CONFIG_FILE
- Filename of Log::Log4perl config file. It defaults to log4perl-syslog.conf. If the file is given as a relative path, it will belative to the /app/conf/ directory.
This container expects /app/data to be a persistent, shared, writable directory owned by uid 10001. This must be a shared (NFS/EFS/etc) volume between all nodes.
