Tutor: Creating a New IDA Plugin

Before You Start

• Familiarize yourself with Tutor plugin concepts: https://docs.tutor.overhang.io/plugins/intro.html

• Install and run the plugin cookiecutter to create a project skeleton: https://github.com/overhangio/cookiecutter-tutor-plugin

• Anywhere you see myplugin in these instructions it will refer to the name of the plugin you have just created

Create a Dockerfile for Your Service

• Create a Dockerfile at tutormyplugin/templates/myplugin/build/myplugin/Dockerfile

  • If you aren’t sure what your service needs take a look at tutor-contrib-exams as a minimal example

  • This section could probably use more guidance on Dockerfiles…

• Add an image build hook to tutormyplugin/plugin.py

################# Docker image management
# To build an image with `tutor images build myimage`, add a Dockerfile to templates/exams/build/myimage and write:
hooks.Filters.IMAGES_BUILD.add_item((
    "myplugin",
    ("plugins", "myplugin", "build", "myplugin"),
    "{{ MYPLUGIN_DOCKER_IMAGE }}",
    (),
))

• Take note of MYPLUGIN_DOCKER_IMAGE we need to define this config value in plugin.py as well

  • TODO

• Add docker-compose patches to tutormyplugin/patches to get your service running locally

  • To run tutor local and tutor dev you will minimally need:

    • local-docker-compose-services

    • local-docker-compose-dev-services

    • local-docker-compose-jobs-services

  • As a reference see tutor-contrib-exams or tutor-discovery

  • Full reference for templates that could be added here https://docs.tutor.overhang.io/reference/patches.html#patches
