Build status

bazel-remote cache

bazel-remote is a HTTP/1.1 and gRPC server that is intended to be used as a remote build cache for REAPI clients like Bazel or as a component of a remote execution service.

The cache contents are stored in a directory on disk with a maximum cache size, and bazel-remote will automatically enforce this limit as needed, by deleting the least recently used files. S3, GCS and experimental Azure blob storage proxy backends are also supported.

Project status: bazel-remote has been serving TBs of cache artifacts per day since April 2018, both on commodity hardware and AWS servers. Outgoing bandwidth can exceed 15 Gbit/s on the right AWS instance type.

HTTP/1.1 REST API

Cache entries are set and retrieved by key, and there are two types of keys that can be used:

  1. Content addressed storage (CAS), where the key is the lowercase SHA256 hash of the entry. The REST API for these entries is: /cas/<key> or with an optional but ignored instance name: /<instance>/cas/<key>.
  2. Action cache, where the key is an arbitrary 64 character lowercase hexadecimal string. Bazel uses the SHA256 hash of an action as the key, to store the metadata created by the action. The REST API for these entries is: /ac/<key> or with an optional instance name: /<instance>/ac/<key>.

Values are stored via HTTP PUT requests, and retrieved via GET requests. HEAD requests can be used to confirm whether a key exists or not.

If GET requests specify zstd in the Accept-Encoding header, then zstandard-encoded data may be returned.

To upload zstandard compressed data, PUT requests must set Content-Encoding: zstd and include a custom X-Digest-SizeBytes header with the size of the uncompressed entry. The key must also refer to the uncompressed entry.

If the --enable_ac_key_instance_mangling flag is specified and the instance name is not empty, then action cache keys are hashed along with the instance name to produce the action cache lookup key. Since the URL path is processed with Go's path.Clean function before extracting the instance name, clients should avoid using repeated slashes, ./ and ../ in the URL.

Values stored in the action cache are validated as an ActionResult protobuf message as per the Bazel Remote Execution API v2 unless validation is disabled by configuration. The HTTP server also supports reading and writing JSON encoded protobuf ActionResult messages to the action cache by using HTTP headers Accept: application/json for GET requests and Content-type: application/json for PUT requests.

Useful endpoints

/status

Returns the cache status/info.

$ curl http://localhost:8080/status

/cas/e3b0c44298fc1c149afbf4c8996fb92427ae41e4649b934ca495991b7852b855

The empty CAS blob is always available, even if the cache is empty. This can be used to test that a bazel-remote instance is running and accepting requests.

$ curl --head --fail http://localhost:8080/cas/e3b0c44298fc1c149afbf4c8996fb92427ae41e4649b934ca495991b7852b855

Prometheus Metrics

To query endpoint metrics see github.com/slok/go-http-metrics's query examples.

gRPC API

bazel-remote also supports the ActionCache, ContentAddressableStorage and Capabilities services in the Bazel Remote Execution API v2, and the corresponding parts of the Byte Stream API.

When using the --enable_ac_key_instance_mangling feature, clients are advised to avoid repeated slashes, ../ and ./ strings in the instance name, for consistency with the HTTP interface.

Prometheus Metrics

To query endpoint metrics see github.com/grpc-ecosystem/go-grpc-prometheus's metrics documentation.

Experimental Remote Asset API Support

There is (very) experimental support for a subset of the Fetch service in the Remote Asset API which can be enabled with the --experimental_remote_asset_api flag.

To use this with Bazel, specify --experimental_remote_downloader=grpc://replace-with-your.host:port.

Byte Stream compressed-blobs

This version of bazel-remote supports the Byte Stream compressed-blobs REAPI feature, which provides a way for clients to upload and download CAS blobs compressed with zstandard, in order to improve network efficiency.

Uploaded CAS blobs are stored in a zstandard compressed format by default, which can increase the effective cache size and reduce load on the server if clients also download blobs in zstandard compressed form. If you would rather store CAS blobs in uncompressed form, add --storage_mode uncompressed to your configuration.

Docker

Prebuilt Image

We publish docker images to DockerHub and quay.io that you can use with docker run. The following commands will start bazel-remote with uid and gid 1000 on port 9090 for HTTP and 9092 for gRPC, with the default maximum cache size of 5 GiB.

# Dockerhub example:
$ docker pull buchgr/bazel-remote-cache
$ docker run -u 1000:1000 -v /path/to/cache/dir:/data \
	-p 9090:8080 -p 9092:9092 buchgr/bazel-remote-cache
# quay.io example:
$ docker pull quay.io/bazel-remote/bazel-remote
$ docker run -u 1000:1000 -v /path/to/cache/dir:/data \
	-p 9090:8080 -p 9092:9092 quay.io/bazel-remote/bazel-remote

Note that you will need to change /path/to/cache/dir to a valid directory that is readable and writable by the specified user (or by uid/gid 65532 if no user was specified).

If you want the docker container to run in the background pass the -d flag right after docker run.

You can adjust the maximum cache size by appending --max_size=N, where N is the maximum size in Gibibytes.

Kubernetes notes

  • Don't name your deployment bazel-remote!

    Kubernetes sets some environment variables based on this name, which conflict with the BAZEL_REMOTE_* environment variables that bazel-remote tries to parse.

  • bazel-remote supports the /grpc.health.v1.Health/Check service, which you can configure like so:

    alb.ingress.kubernetes.io/backend-protocol: HTTP
alb.ingress.kubernetes.io/backend-protocol-version: GRPC
alb.ingress.kubernetes.io/healthcheck-path: /grpc.health.v1.Health/Check
alb.ingress.kubernetes.io/healthcheck-port: 9092
alb.ingress.kubernetes.io/listen-ports: [{"HTTPS": 9092}]
alb.ingress.kubernetes.io/success-codes: 0
alb.ingress.kubernetes.io/target-type: ip

Build your own

The command below will build a docker image from source and install it into your local docker registry.

$ bazel run :bazel-remote-image

ARM Support

Bazel remote cache server can be run on an ARM architecture (i.e.: on a Raspberry Pi).

To build for ARM, use:

$ bazel run :bazel-remote-image-arm64

Build a standalone Linux binary

$ bazel build :bazel-remote

Authentication

bazel-remote defaults to allow unauthenticated access, but basic .htpasswd style authentication and mutual TLS authentication are also supported.

In order to pass a .htpasswd and/or server key file(s) to the cache inside a docker container, you first need to mount the file in the container and pass the path to the cache. The example below also configures TLS which is technically optional but highly recommended in order to not send passwords in plain text.

$ docker run -v /path/to/cache/dir:/data \
	-v /path/to/htpasswd:/etc/bazel-remote/htpasswd \
	-v /path/to/server_cert:/etc/bazel-remote/server_cert \
	-v /path/to/server_key:/etc/bazel-remote/server_key \
	-p 9090:8080 -p 9092:9092 buchgr/bazel-remote-cache \
	--tls_cert_file=/etc/bazel-remote/server_cert \
	--tls_key_file=/etc/bazel-remote/server_key \
	--htpasswd_file /etc/bazel-remote/htpasswd --max_size=5

If you prefer not using .htpasswd files it is also possible to authenticate with mTLS (also can be known as "authenticating client certificates"). You can do this by passing in the the cert/key the server should use, as well as the certificate authority that signed the client certificates:

$ docker run -v /path/to/cache/dir:/data \
	-v /path/to/certificate_authority:/etc/bazel-remote/ca_cert \
	-v /path/to/server_cert:/etc/bazel-remote/server_cert \
	-v /path/to/server_key:/etc/bazel-remote/server_key \
	-p 9090:8080 -p 9092:9092 buchgr/bazel-remote-cache \
	--tls_ca_file=/etc/bazel-remote/ca_cert \
	--tls_cert_file=/etc/bazel-remote/server_cert \
	--tls_key_file=/etc/bazel-remote/server_key \
	--max_size=5

Using bazel-remote with AWS Credential file authentication for S3 inside a docker container

The following demonstrates how to configure a docker instance of bazel-remote to use an AWS S3 backend, authenticating using the supercool profile from your $HOME/.aws/credentials file.

$ docker run -u 1000:1000 -v /path/to/cache/dir:/data -v $HOME/.aws:/aws-config \
   -p 9090:8080 -p 9092:9092 buchgr/bazel-remote-cache \
   --s3.auth_method=aws_credentials_file --s3.aws_profile=supercool \
   --s3.aws_shared_credentials_file=/aws-config/credentials \
   --s3.bucket=my-bucket --s3.endpoint=s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com \
   --max_size=5

Profiling

To enable pprof profiling, specify an address to listen to with --profile_address.

If running inside docker, you will need to use a profile_address value with a host other than 127.0.0.1 and add a -p mapping to the docker run commandline for the port.

See Profiling Go programs with pprof for more details.

Configuring Bazel

To make bazel use remote cache, use the following flag: --remote_cache=http://replace-with-your.host:port. You can also use the following protocols instead of http: https, grpc or grpcs (depending on your bazel-remote configuration).

Basic username/password authentication can be added like so:

--remote_cache=http://user:pass@replace-with-your.host:port

To avoid leaking your password in log files, you can place this flag in a user-specific (and .gitignore'd) bazelrc file.

To use mutual TLS with bazel, use a grpcs URL for the --remote_cache argument, and add the following flags:

	--tls_certificate=path/to/ca.cert
	--tls_client_certificate=path/to/client/cert.cert
	--tls_client_key=path/to/client/cert.key

For more details, see Bazel's remote caching documentation.
