    <section id='starting-toaster-for-local-development'>
        <title>Starting Toaster for Local Development</title>

        <para>
            Once you have set up the Yocto Project and installed the
            Toaster system dependencies as described in the
            "<link linkend='toaster-manual-start'>Preparing to Use Toaster</link>"
            chapter, you are ready to start Toaster.
        </para>

        <para>
            Navigate to the root of your
            <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#source-directory'>Source Directory</ulink>
            (e.g. <filename>poky</filename>):
            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     $ cd poky
            </literallayout>
            Once in that directory, source the build environment script:
            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     $ source oe-init-build-env
            </literallayout>
            Next, from the build directory (e.g.
            <filename>poky/build</filename>), start Toaster using this
            command:
            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     $ source toaster start
            </literallayout>
            You can now run your builds from the command line, or with
            Toaster as explained in section
            "<link linkend='using-the-toaster-web-interface'>Using the Toaster Web Interface</link>".
        </para>

        <para>
            To access the Toaster web interface, open your favorite
            browser and enter the following:
            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     http://127.0.0.1:8000
            </literallayout>
        </para>
    </section>

    <section id='setting-a-different-port'>
        <title>Setting a Different Port</title>

        <para>
            By default, Toaster starts on port 8000.
            You can use the <filename>WEBPORT</filename> parameter to
            set a different port.
            For example, the following command sets the port to "8400":
            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     $ source toaster start webport=8400
            </literallayout>
        </para>
    </section>

    <section id='setting-up-toaster-without-a-web-server'>
        <title>Setting Up Toaster Without a Web Server</title>

        <para>
            You can start a Toaster environment without starting its
            web server. This is useful for the following:
            <itemizedlist>
                <listitem><para>
                    Capturing a command-line build’s statistics into
                    the Toaster database for examination later.
                    </para></listitem>
                <listitem><para>
                    Capturing a command-line build’s statistics when
                    the Toaster server is already running.
                    </para></listitem>
            </itemizedlist>
            The following commands show how to start a Toaster environment
            without starting its web server, perform BitBake operations,
            and then shut down the Toaster environment.
            Once the environment is shut down, you can examine the
            BitBake build statistics:
            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     $ source toaster start noweb
     $ bitbake <replaceable>target</replaceable>
     $ source toaster stop
            </literallayout>
        </para>
    </section>

    <section id='setting-up-toaster-without-a-build-server'>
        <title>Setting Up Toaster Without a Build Server</title>

        <para>
            You can start a Toaster environment with the
            “New Projects” feature disabled.
            Doing so is useful for the following:
            <itemizedlist>
                <listitem><para>
                    Sharing your build results over the web server while
                    blocking others from starting builds on your host.
                    </para></listitem>
                <listitem><para>
                    Allowing only local command-line builds to be captured
                    into the Toaster database.
                    </para></listitem>
            </itemizedlist>
            Use the following command to set up Toaster without a
            build server:
            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     $ source toaster start nobuild webport=<replaceable>port</replaceable>
            </literallayout>
        </para>
    </section>

    <section id='setting-up-external-access'>
        <title>Setting up External Access</title>

        <para>
            By default, Toaster binds to the loop back address
            (i.e. localhost), which does not allow access from
            external hosts. To allow external access, use the
            <filename>WEBPORT</filename> parameter to open an
            address that connects to the network, specifically the
            IP address that your NIC uses to connect to the network.
            You can also bind to all IP addresses the computer
            supports by using the shortcut
            "0.0.0.0:<replaceable>port</replaceable>".
        </para>

        <para>
            The following example binds to all IP addresses on the
            host:
            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     $ source toaster start webport=0.0.0.0:8400
            </literallayout>
            This example binds to a specific IP address on the host's
            NIC:
            <literallayout class='monospaced'>
     $ source toaster start webport=192.168.1.1:8400
            </literallayout>
        </para>
    </section>

    <section id='the-directory-for-cloning-layers'>
        <title>The Directory for Cloning Layers</title>

        <para>
            Toaster creates a <filename>_toaster_clones</filename>
            directory inside your Source Directory
            (i.e. <filename>poky</filename>) to clone any layers
            needed for your builds.
        </para>

        <para>
            Alternatively, if you would like all of your Toaster related
            files and directories to be in a particular location other than
            the default, you can set the <filename>TOASTER_DIR</filename>
            environment variable, which takes precedence over your current
            working directory.
            Setting this environment variable causes Toaster to create and use
            <filename>$TOASTER_DIR./_toaster_clones</filename>.
        </para>
    </section>

    <section id='toaster-the-build-directory'>
        <title>The Build Directory</title>

        <para>
            Toaster creates a build directory within your Source
            Directory (e.g. <filename>poky</filename>) to execute
            the builds.
        </para>

        <para>
            Alternatively, if you would like all of your Toaster related files
            and directories to be in a particular location, you can set
            the <filename>TOASTER_DIR</filename> environment variable,
            which takes precedence over your current working directory.
            Setting this environment variable causes Toaster to use
            <filename>$TOASTER_DIR/build</filename> as the build directory.
        </para>

        <title>Creating a Django Superuser</title>

        <para>
            Toaster is built on the
            <ulink url='https://www.djangoproject.com/'>Django framework</ulink>.
            Django provides an administration interface you can use
            to edit Toaster configuration parameters.
        </para>

        <para>
            To access the Django administration interface, you must
            create a superuser by following these steps:
            <orderedlist>
              <listitem><para>
                  If you used <filename>pip3</filename>, which is
                  recommended, to set up the Toaster system dependencies,
                  you need be sure the local user path is in your
                  <filename>PATH</filename> list.
                  To append the pip3 local user path, use the following
                  command:
                  <literallayout class='monospaced'>
   $ export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.local/bin
                  </literallayout>
                  </para></listitem>
              <listitem><para>
                  From the directory containing the Toaster database,
                  which by default is the
                  <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#build-directory'>Build Directory</ulink>,
                  invoke the <filename>createsuperuser</filename> command
                  from <filename>manage.py</filename>:
                  <literallayout class='monospaced'>
   $ cd ~/poky/build
   $ ../bitbake/lib/toaster/manage.py createsuperuser

              <listitem><para>
                  Django prompts you for the username, which you need to
                  provide.
                  </para></listitem>
              <listitem><para>
                  Django prompts you for an email address, which is

              <listitem><para>
                  Django prompts you for a password, which you must provide.

              <listitem><para>
                  Django prompts you to re-enter your password for verification.
                  </para></listitem>
          </orderedlist>
          After completing these steps, the following confirmation message
          appears:
          <literallayout class='monospaced'>
   Superuser created successfully.
          </literallayout>
      </para>

      <para>
          Creating a superuser allows you to access the Django administration
          interface through a browser.
          The URL for this interface is the same as the URL used for the
          Toaster instance with "/admin" on the end.
          For example, if you are running Toaster locally, use the
          following URL:
          <literallayout class='monospaced'>
   http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin
          </literallayout>
          You can use the Django administration interface to set Toaster
          configuration parameters such as the build directory, layer sources,
          default variable values, and BitBake versions.

      <title>Setting Up a Production Instance of Toaster</title>

      <para>
          You can use a production instance of Toaster to share the
          Toaster instance with remote users, multiple users, or both.
          The production instance is also the setup that can handle
          heavier loads on the web service.
          Use the instructions in the following sections to set up
          Toaster to run builds through the Toaster web interface.

                      If you are using Ubuntu or Debian,
                      you will need to enable the config and module for Apache:

                      Finally, restart Apache to make sure all new configuration
                      is loaded.
                      For Ubuntu, Debian, and OpenSUSE use:

          <title>Additional Information About the Local Yocto Project Release</title>

          <para>
              This section only applies if you have set up Toaster
              for local development, as explained in the
              "<link linkend='starting-toaster-for-local-development'>Starting Toaster for Local Development</link>"
              section.
          </para>

          <para>
              When you create a project in Toaster, you will be asked to
              provide a name and to select a Yocto Project release.
              One of the release options you will find is called
              "Local Yocto Project".
              <imagedata fileref="figures/new-project.png" align="center" width="9in" />
          </para>

          <para>
              When you select the "Local Yocto Project" release, Toaster
              will run your builds using the local Yocto
              Project clone you have in your computer: the same clone
              you are using to run Toaster.
              Unless you manually update
              this clone, your builds will always use the same Git revision.
          </para>

          <para>
              If you select any of the other release options, Toaster
              will fetch the tip of your selected release from the upstream
              <ulink url='https://git.yoctoproject.org'>Yocto Project repository</ulink>
              every time you run a build.
              Fetching this tip effectively
              means that if your selected release is updated upstream, the
              Git revision you are using for your builds will change.
              If you are doing development locally, you might not want this
              change to happen.
              In that case, the "Local Yocto Project"
              release might be the right choice.
          </para>

          <para>
              However, the "Local Yocto Project" release
              will not provide you with any compatible layers, other than the
              three core layers that come with the Yocto Project:

          <para>
              If you want to build any other layers, you will need to
              manually import them into your Toaster project, using the
              "Import layer" page.

      <section id='toaster-web-interface-preferred-version'>
          <title>Building a Specific Recipe Given Multiple Versions</title>

            <para>
                Occasionally, a layer might provide more than one version of
                the same recipe.
                For example, the <filename>openembedded-core</filename> layer
                provides two versions of the <filename>bash</filename> recipe
                (i.e. 3.2.48 and 4.3.30-r0) and two versions of the
                <filename>which</filename> recipe (i.e. 2.21 and 2.18).
                The following figure shows this exact scenario:
                <imagedata fileref="figures/bash-oecore.png" align="center" width="9in" depth="6in" />
            </para>

            <para>
                By default, the OpenEmbedded build system builds one of the
                two recipes.
                For the <filename>bash</filename> case, version 4.3.30-r0 is
                built by default.
                Unfortunately, Toaster as it exists, is not able to override
                the default recipe version.
                If you would like to build bash 3.2.48, you need to set the
                <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_REF_URL;#var-PREFERRED_VERSION'><filename>PREFERRED_VERSION</filename></ulink>
                variable.
                You can do so from Toaster, using the "Add variable" form,
                which is available in the "BitBake variables" page of the
                project configuration section as shown in the following screen:
                <imagedata fileref="figures/add-variable.png" align="center" width="9in" depth="6in" />
            </para>

            <para>
                To specify <filename>bash</filename> 3.2.48 as the version to build,
                enter "PREFERRED_VERSION_bash" in the "Variable" field, and "3.2.48"
                in the "Value" field.
                Next, click the "Add variable" button:
                <imagedata fileref="figures/set-variable.png" align="center" width="9in" depth="6in" />
            </para>

            <para>
                After clicking the "Add variable" button, the settings for
                <filename>PREFERRED_VERSION</filename> are added to the bottom
                of the BitBake variables list.
                With these settings, the OpenEmbedded build system builds the
                desired version of the recipe rather than the default version:
                <imagedata fileref="figures/variable-added.png" align="center" width="9in" depth="6in" />
