Trying @teamcity for #ContinuousIntegration - Part 2

Continuing from where we got stuck in the prior post for running a build on Trying @teamcity for #ContinuousIntegration - Part 1. Before I started working on the agent, I deleted two of the three builds in the queue.

Create the Teamcity agent


I learned that I must have an agent running. I executed the following docker command to create an agent that automatically registered itself on the Teamcity server as an unauthorized agent.


docker run -d -e SERVER_URL="http://teamcity-server-instance:8111" \
--name=teamcity-agent \
-p 9090:9090 \
-v $HOME/docker-shares/teamcity/agent/conf:/data/teamcity_agent/conf \
-e AGENT_NAME=teamcity-agent \
--link teamcity-server-instance:TSI \
jetbrains/teamcity-agent













Authorize the agent

Click on the 'Unauthorized' link next to the agent and click 'Authorize' on the dialog  that pops up.














Navigate back to 'Connected' tab where only authorized agents are listed.














The build that was in the queue kicked off while I was trying to take a screenshot and I missed it on the screenshot. Navigate to 'Projects' and you'll see a 'Success' status on your build job.








More work needed

I was not expecting the build job to actually determine that this is a maven Java project and compile the code automatically. I looked at the build log and confirmed as much.
















The work we did above is truly just 'Hello World'. There is a build steps section that I didn't look for earlier. For now, I successfully connected an agent and kicked off a job. Moving on to build steps on the next post.

Cheat sheet to create a #VPC and Subnets on @AWSCloud

One of the critical things to remember for working with a AWS VPC is creating and using it. I had hard time remembering how to do it, so, I wrote down a cheat sheet for myself.  If anyone wants to follow along, just navigate to the VPC page on the AWS Console and start with 'Create VPC' button. Please note that this may cost some dollars if you are not on the free tier. If you are on the free tier and make mistakes, it may cost some dollars. In the steps below, we will be creating the following on a new VPC: An internet gateway One public subnet with routes for accessibility from the internet One private subnet without any routes One EC2 web server with Apache installed in it and serving a sample html page - using the public subnet. One EC2 server with the private subnet and security group that allows access to resources running on the public subnet only.  Create VPC Name tag: myVPC CIDR Block: 10.0.0.0/16 Tenancy: default (Must have default.

SQL Server tables with JSON

We can indeed store json data as-is into a traditional Microsoft SQL Server database. The document hosted on Microsoft's site left a lot of questions and unknowns that I had to explore and experiment to figure out the right recipe for creating a table to store json, inserting the data as json and querying for the values of individual keys within the json. Here you go:  --Create a table with an identity column and a nvarchat(max) column to store the individual json documents create table dbo.logs (     _id bigint primary key identity,     json_log nvarchar(max) ); --Add a constraint to the json_log column of the table to ensure that the table accepts only json as value to store ALTER TABLE dbo.logs ADD CONSTRAINT [json_log record should be formatted as JSON] CHECK (ISJSON(json_log)=1); --Insert json into the table insert into dbo.logs values ('{"key": "value"}'); insert into dbo.logs values ('{"key": "value1"}'); --Query for al...
