Agents can be installed on machines on your network once the Con=
tinua CI server has been installed and configured. By default, the Continua=
CI server installer also runs the agent installer on the server's local ma=
chine.
Additional distributed agents can only be used with Continua CI if you h=
ave a licence for multiple concurrent builds. The free edition of Continua =
CI does not allow for distributed builds and it limits the Continua environ=
ment to 1 local agent. See the =
VSoft Store to purchase additional concurrent licences.
Step by Step Ins=
tall Instructions
- The agent installer comes with the standard Continua CI server installe=
r. The agent installer can be accessed through the Continua CI UI by naviga=
ting to the Agents page in the Administration section. Alternatively, the a=
gent installer can be found on the Continu=
a Download page. Download the agent installer and copy it over to that =
machine that will become an agent.
- While logged in as a user with Administrative rights, start the install=
er.
- If an earlier version of the Continua Agent is already installed, you w=
ill be provided with the options to keep or update your existing settings. =
If you keep your settings, the agent will be updated while all previously s=
etup properties will remain the same.
- If you have not elected to keep your existing settings, the next page w=
ill allow you to configure which Windows user account=
that the Continua Agent service will run under. It is important to se=
lect a user that has full permissions to access both the Continua CI server=
data share folder (which was configured in the server installer), the Agen=
t workspace folder. The user should also have permissions to run any desire=
d build actions.
- The next step of the agent installer requires you to point this agent t=
o your Continua CI server. By default the Server Port is 9000 and the Agent=
Port is 9002, however these values can be changed to match your environmen=
t. The Server Port should match the Port that was set when configuring your=
Continua CI server. The Server Port can be found in the CI Server Properti=
es page under the Administration section. Set the Server Name to localhost =
if the agent is being installed local to the Continua Server. For more info=
rmation, see the Networking and Security page.
- Select a folder on the Agent machine that should be used for the Agent =
Workspace. The agent workspace is only accessed by the current agent and it=
is used to store all build and repository information while a build is bei=
ng executed on this machine. Note that this workspace should be on a drive =
that has plenty of disk space.
- Execute the installer.
