Creating a master

Метки: buildbot

The first necessary step is to create a virtualenv for our master. We will also use a separate directory to demonstrate the distinction between a master and worker:

mkdir -p ~/tmp/bb-master
cd ~/tmp/bb-master

On Python 2:

virtualenv --no-site-packages sandbox
source sandbox/bin/activate

On Python 3:

python3 -m venv sandbox
source sandbox/bin/activate

Now that we are ready, we need to install buildbot:

pip install --upgrade pip
pip install 'buildbot[bundle]'

Now that buildbot is installed, it’s time to create the master:

buildbot create-master master

Buildbot’s activity is controlled by a configuration file. We will use the sample configuration file unchanged:

mv master/master.cfg.sample master/master.cfg

Finally, start the master:

buildbot start master

You will now see some log information from the master in this terminal. It should end with lines like these:

2014-11-01 15:52:55+0100 [-] BuildMaster is running
The buildmaster appears to have (re)started correctly.

From now on, feel free to visit the web status page running on the port 8010: http://localhost:8010/

Our master now needs (at least) a worker to execute its commands. For that, head on to the next section!
