Buildbot is an open-source continuous integration framework written in Python. It supports multiple platforms including Linux, macOS, and Windows. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Buildbot on Alpine Linux Latest.
Before we begin, ensure that you have the following:
First, update the package manager using the following command:
sudo apk update
Buildbot requires Python 3 and several Python packages to function correctly. Install the required dependencies using the following command:
sudo apk add build-base python3-dev libffi-dev py3-pip openssl-dev
Install Buildbot using pip3:
sudo pip3 install buildbot-worker buildbot-master
Configure Buildbot by creating a directory for your configuration, and initializing an example configuration:
sudo mkdir /etc/buildbot
sudo buildbot create-master /etc/buildbot/master
Start the Buildbot master:
sudo twistd -ny /etc/buildbot/master/buildbot.tac
Start the Buildbot worker:
sudo buildbot-worker create-worker /etc/buildbot/worker localhost worker pass
sudo twistd -ny /etc/buildbot/worker/buildbot.tac
To verify the installation, open a web browser and navigate to http://<your_host>:8010. You should see the Buildbot web interface.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Buildbot on Alpine Linux Latest. You can now use it for continuous integration and deployment for your projects.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
