TKLDev-Detective

tkldev-detective is a simple framework for linting turnkeylinux appliances, it leverages existing linting tools, as well as allowing for custom handmade lints and provides a unified output format/interface for utilizing these tools.

Dependencies

Mandatory Dependencies:

apt-file - for figuring out what packages provide certain files

Highly Recommended (but optional) Dependencies:

shellcheck - enables bash lints pylint - enables python lints

Optional Dependencies:

python3-yaml - enables yaml lint

Installation

tkldev-detective can be installed as follows

1. Clone somewhere, I recommend cloning into /turnkey/public (creating intermediate directories as required)

   mkdir -p /turnkey/public
   git clone [email protected]:turnkeylinux/tkldev-detective /turnkey/public/tkldev-detective

2. Add tkldev-detective to your path:

   ln -s /turnkey/public/tkldev-detective/tkldev-detective /usr/local/bin

Usage

Using tkldev-detective is as simple as running tkldev-detective lint <appliance> where <appliance> can be:

• the name of an appliance
• the path to an appliance
• the path to a specific file in an appliance

All of this provided you have the given appliance's build code on your machine.

E.g.

tkldev-detective lint zoneminder

Color support

tkldev-detective supports color highlighting and will attempt to detect whether the stdout supports color (check for a terminal). This behavior can be changed with the --color=always/never/auto option where:

• auto provides default behavior
• always always enables color
• never disables color entirely
