You need to install Docker: https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/.
Windows users should also install Git4Windows and WSL2.
The Docker file has the following terminal targets which can be selected with
the --target option:
build-agent:
Installs packages and config necessary to run TeamCity build agent.
interactive: (default)
This will install a builder user who has pasword-less sudo, and the
less, bash_completion, vim and nano packages. Suitable for development
testing and as a clean room local build environment.
Thus to build the interactive image (and tag it smith:latest) run:
$> docker build . -t smith:latest
Or equivalently:
$> docker build --target=interactive . -t smith:latest
The container exports a volume at /smith:
$> docker run --rm -it -h smith -v $HOME/repos/wstechfonts:/smith smith:latest
This will run the latest version of smith in your local image store and run
it with the absolute path (or docker volume) $WORKSPACE mapped to /smith
inside, and an interactive bash session (the -it options). The --rm makes
the container ephemeral.
Our TeamCity build agent is built like so:
$> docker build --target=build-agent-teamcity .
