Building Azure DevOps pipelines with a Docker agent

Image
 In this post, we are going to create a Docker image to use as a build agent to Azure DevOps pipelines. The process followed in this blog post is similar to the process followed in the post where we used an Azure VM as the build agent . The difference is, instead of using an Azure VM as an agent, we are going to run a Docker container as an agent on localhost. Prerequisites   1. An Azure DevOps project to build using the Docker agent. We are going to use the PartsUnlimited project we created in an  earlier post  which meets these criteria. 2. Have Docker installed on your local machine with the ability to create and run Windows containers (Refer to the troubleshooting section on how to switch). Steps There are a lot of steps involved in creating a Docker agent and running the build pipeline on it. So I will add subtopics between steps to group steps related to a specific subtask. 1. Creating the Agent pool and generating personal access for the new build agent 1.1. N...

WSO2 carbon building process

WSO2 carbon [1] server which serves as the base for all the WSO2 products is built based on OSGi technology [2]. This blog post aims to briefly explain the code spaces that involves when building carbon server from source. Steps to be followed to build WSO2 carbon 4.2.0 code base is explained in "Building from source" page [3]. After building kernel code space you can find the working carbon server pack at the <local-kernel-directory>/distribution/product/modules/distribution/target directory. User do not have to build platform code space to get the base carbon server, platform space needs to be built only if user needs another specific product like WSO2 ESB. When user issues maven command with necessary build phases (Ex - mvn clean install) in their terminal from location <local-kernel-directory>, maven build process starts building checked out code in the following order. dependencies parent service-stubs core features samples distribution Thes...

Running a Docker build agent on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)

Image
In this blog post, we are going to run the Docker build agent we created in a previous blog post and run it on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS).  Prerequisites   1. An Azure DevOps project to connect the AKS hosted build agent. We are going to use the PartsUnlimited project we created in an  earlier post  which meets these criteria. 2. Have Docker installed on your local machine with the ability to create and run Windows containers (Refer to the troubleshooting section on this post for instructions on how to switch). 3. Have Azure CLI installed on your machine. Steps First, we are going to tag the previously created docker build agent with a new tag more suitable for version control, and run it to test operation. 1. To create the docker agent we need to create a new folder and download the following Dockerfile file . ( Link to the normal view ) and start.ps1 file . ( Link to the normal view ) files into a local folder as follows. 2. Then open a Powershell w...
