In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of Buildbot on FreeBSD Latest.
Before starting the installation process, make sure that your system is up to date by running the following command:
sudo pkg update && sudo pkg upgrade
This will update the package list and upgrade any outdated packages.
Buildbot requires Python and Git to be installed on your system. To install them, run the following command:
sudo pkg install python git
It is recommended to create a separate user for Buildbot to run as. To create a Buildbot user, run the following command:
sudo pw groupadd buildbot
sudo pw useradd buildbot -g buildbot -s /bin/sh -h /nonexistent -c "Buildbot User"
To install Buildbot, run the following command:
sudo pkg install buildbot
Once Buildbot is installed, you can configure it by creating a configuration file. The configuration file is in Python and should be saved with the name master.cfg. Here is an example configuration file:
from buildbot.plugins import *
c = BuildmasterConfig = {}
c['workers'] = [
Worker("worker1", "pass"),
]
c['protocols'] = {'pb': {'port': 9989}}
c['change_source'] = []
c['schedulers'] = []
c['builders'] = []
You can customize this configuration file to suit your needs.
To start Buildbot, run the following command:
sudo -u buildbot twistd --nodaemon --logfile=buildbot.log buildbot --config master.cfg
This will start Buildbot and use the configuration file you created.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Buildbot on FreeBSD Latest. You can now use Buildbot to automate your builds and tests.
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!
