my-azure-pipelines-agent

This repository contains the definition of my custom Azure Pipelines agent as a Docker image. I'm installing Docker, Azure CLI and Terraform on that agent.

Run the agent on Docker

AZP_TOKEN=FIXME
AZP_URL=https://dev.azure.com/FIXME
AZP_AGENT_NAME=myadoagent
AZP_POOL=myadoagent

docker run \
  -e AZP_URL=$AZP_URL \
  -e AZP_TOKEN=$AZP_TOKEN \
  -e AZP_AGENT_NAME=$AZP_AGENT_NAME \
  -e AZP_POOL=$AZP_POOL \
  -it mabenoit/ado-agent:latest

Note: if you need to run Docker on that Docker agent, you will need to add that parameter in the above command: -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock

Run the agent on ACI

AZP_TOKEN=FIXME
AZP_URL=https://dev.azure.com/FIXME
AZP_AGENT_NAME=myadoagent
AZP_POOL=myadoagent

az container create \
  -g $rg -n $name \
  --image mabenoit/ado-agent:latest \
  --ip-address Private \
  -e AZP_URL=$AZP_URL AZP_TOKEN=$AZP_TOKEN AZP_AGENT_NAME=$AZP_AGENT_NAME AZP_POOL=$AZP_POOL

Note: you canno't run Docker on that Docker agent, in other word youcan't add that parameter in the above command: -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock

Run the agent on Kubernetes

AZP_TOKEN=FIXME
AZP_URL=https://dev.azure.com/FIXME
AZP_AGENT_NAME=myadoagent
AZP_POOL=myadoagent

kubectl create secret generic azp \
  --from-literal=AZP_URL=$AZP_URL \
  --from-literal=AZP_TOKEN=$AZP_TOKEN \
  --from-literal=AZP_AGENT_NAME=$AZP_AGENT_NAME \
  --from-literal=AZP_POOL=$AZP_POOL
