Trying @teamcity for #ContinuousIntegration

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.

A @trello board to get kids excited

My 8 year old just started his summer break. He did so well in school and I am proud of him. He skipped second grade, got into the gold honor roll in every quarter and got a medal for doing that. Last night, I promised to install a new app for him on his iPad mini. I installed Trello and created a board for him while he watched. I showed him how to create cards, add labels to them and move them from To Do, to Doing to Done. I had him create some cards and label them. He could not stop creating cards. I could not convince him to go to bed after that. He created cards for everything he wants to do in the summer and he is not done with creating cards. He even created a card to email a screenshot of his Trello board to his teacher. Later last night, he was still awake in bed when I checked on him. He told me that he wanted to add three more labels - Math, Science and One-on-One. He wanted a label titled 'One-on-one' for tasks that he wants to do with me and he wants one-on-one at

A @trello board to get kids excited - continued

This is a continuation of the previous post titled - A trello board to get kids excited . At the time of writing this post, the previous post had 198 page views. I wish people commented. I did get some positive feedback on Twitter. The Trello twitter account re-tweeted my tweet and also sent out a second tweet advertising the page. Thank you very much. I hope a lot of parents and kids benefited and had fun as a result. Trello people: Idea - How about a 'Trello Kiddo'? Perhaps you could offer that to schools that give iPads for each kid to take home with them. Get them when they are young. When a kid does something religiously, regularly and feels great about it and can't wait to tell everyone about it, you know you've done well as a parent. We realized that we needed a separate column to keep track of 'Special accomplishments'. Positive reinforcement that you can see with your eyes! Some parents feel like they haven't done enough for their kids, partic
