Toaster can run in various modes and setups.


* Interactive mode - this is the mode released with Yocto Project Release 1.6. Functional components consist of a build recording component, 'toasterui', and a build stats and inspection user interface, the 'toastergui'. It is started with the command sequence listed below, and the builds are started using normal bitbake command line
* '''Local mode''' - in this mode Toaster is setup for use as a local development tool. It can be used to configure builds or just as a receiver for builds done on the command line with bitbake. You can launch it like this:


  $ source oe-init-build-env
  $ source oe-init-build-env
  $ source toaster start
  $ source toaster start


* Managed  mode - in this mode Toaster handles the build configuration GUI (through Project pages), and build scheduling and execution, in addition to the features launched with Yocto Project Release 1.6. The builds are triggered through the web interface,
You then navigate to the link in your browser (e.g. http://localhost:8000) and configure a project. Or start building in the normal way with bitbake via the command line. Toaster will automatically pick up the builds and you will be able to see them on the build dashboard in your browser.
the user as no direct access to the bitbake command line.
 
** Local managed mode, in short _local_, is the out-of-box mode available after a poky/ checkout. It allows the user to perform build on his local machine source code, with a local build directory, and is intended to help the user discover the interface, and configure and run local builds. You can launch it with
 
$ ./bitbake/bin/toaster


** Remote managed mode, or [[hosted Toaster]], is intended to be the production setup for running Toaster in organizations supporting multiple users and using customized Toaster installations.
* '''Production mode''' - All the same functionality as the local mode but with the web server setup as a shared service for multiple developers to use, this sets up Toaster as a wsgi application and [[Setting up a production instance of Toaster|requires additional configuration]].

Using Toaster

Toaster can run in various modes and setups.

  • Local mode - in this mode Toaster is setup for use as a local development tool. It can be used to configure builds or just as a receiver for builds done on the command line with bitbake. You can launch it like this:
$ source oe-init-build-env
$ source toaster start

You then navigate to the link in your browser (e.g. http://localhost:8000) and configure a project. Or start building in the normal way with bitbake via the command line. Toaster will automatically pick up the builds and you will be able to see them on the build dashboard in your browser.

  • Production mode - All the same functionality as the local mode but with the web server setup as a shared service for multiple developers to use, this sets up Toaster as a wsgi application and requires additional configuration.

In progress documentation

We are currently preparing the documentation for the Toaster build functionality. The content here is just a brain dump of what we need to cover (in no particular order). Feel free to add and create content as you see fit:
