TeamCity

In this tutorial we'll setup an instance of TeamCity, running on Docker, and configure a CI pipeline on the code samples available in this repository.

Setup​

Create local folders​

# creates local folders to store TeamCity run files
md data logs agent
md agent/conf

Run TeamCity server in a container​

# starts the container
docker run -it --name teamcity-server -v $PWD/data:/data/teamcity_server/datadir -v $PWD/logs:/opt/teamcity/logs -p 8111:8111 jetbrains/teamcity-server

# if stopped, starts again the container
docker start teamcity-server

Run TeamCity agent in a container​

Use the Docker image​

docker run -it --name teamcity-agent -e SERVER_URL="http://teamcity-server:8111" -v $PWD/agent/conf:/data/teamcity_agent/conf --link teamcity-server jetbrains/teamcity-agent

→ hub.docker.com

Use a custom image​

The default image may not contain all the needed tools for the pipeline to run.

TODO

Clean-up​

docker rm teamcity-server teamcity-agent

Configuration​

First TeamCity configuration​

  • Open localhost:8111
  • Log-in with empty username and the token shown in the container log file
  • Go to the "Administration" section and click on "Users" to create a new user account (make sure to give the super administrative privilege)
  • Authorize the agent localhost:8111/agents
  • Go to the "Projects" section and create a new project (use https://github.com/devpro/ci-pipeline-samples as repository URL)
  • Use "Auto-detected Build Steps" to have TeamCity review what is needed (you can select everything except the NuGet and msbuild step)
  • Review steps and step names and start a new build
