Buildbot is an open-source continuous integration system written in Python. It supports automation of build, test and release processes for software projects. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Buildbot on Ubuntu Server Latest.
Before you begin, make sure you have the following:
It's always good practice to update your system before installing any new packages. To do this, run the following commands:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
Buildbot is written in Python, so we need to install it first. Run the following command to install Python 3 and Pip:
sudo apt-get install python3 python3-pip
Now that we have Python and Pip installed, we can easily install Buildbot using Pip. Run the following command:
sudo pip3 install buildbot-worker
Before we start the Buildbot master, we need to create a worker. The worker is responsible for running the build jobs. Run the following command to create a worker with the name my-worker:
buildbot-worker create-worker /path/to/worker my-worker buildbot.example.com:9989 worker_password
Note: Replace /path/to/worker with the path where you want to create the worker.
Now that we have created the worker, we can start the Buildbot master. Run the following command:
buildbot create-master /path/to/master
Note: Replace /path/to/master with the path where you want to create the master.
After creating the master, start it with the following command:
buildbot start /path/to/master
By default, Buildbot listens on port 8010 for the web interface. Open your web browser and navigate to http://<server-ip>:8010. You should see the Buildbot web interface.
You have successfully installed Buildbot on Ubuntu Server Latest. Now you can automate your build, test and release processes with Buildbot.
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!
