Buildbot Master

Super small and easy to set up Buildbot Master.

Running the server

docker run --detach --name --publish 8010:8010/tcp --publish 9989:9989/tcp buildbot-master hetsh/buildbot-master

Stopping the container

docker stop buildbot-master

Creating persistent storage

MP="/path/to/storage"
mkdir -p "$MP"
chown -R 1381:1381 "$MP"

1381 is the numerical id of the user running the server (see Dockerfile). Start the server with the additional mount flag:

docker run --mount type=bind,source=/path/to/storage,target=/buildbot-master ...

Configuration

Create an initial configuration file by running:

docker run ... hetsh/buildbot-master create-master

Stick to Buildbot's documentation for further configuration.

Automate startup and shutdown via systemd

The systemd unit can be found in my GitHub repository.

systemctl enable buildbot-master.service --now

By default, the systemd service assumes /apps/buildbot/master for persistent storage and /etc/localtime for timezone. Since this is a personal systemd unit file, you might need to adjust some parameters to suit your setup.
