  • Upgrade from 1.x
  • How to deploy
    • Additional Config before build & deploy
  • View server status
  • View server log
  • How to use [optional builder config in extension source]

The major different between 1.x and 2.2+ is the location & name of config files. So the most important upgrade is move your eb-config.json from the project root dir to config/, and rename it with local.json

In your server, run:

cd /path/to/extension-builder/
git pull

docker stop extension-builder || true
docker rm extension-builder || true
docker build . -t extension-builder
docker run -d -p 8048:8048 --restart unless-stopped --name="extension-builder" extension-builder

for local.json, we accept the following configs:

• port

  • number
  • default to 8048
  • The port number of the service.
  • Note: this is not necessary to change for a docker deploy, you can do that by changing docker port expose (using -p xxxx:8048)

• builder-config-name

  • string
  • default to "builder-config.json"
  • The config file name to read from build jobs

• check-jobpool-results-only

  • boolean
  • default to false
  • To control whether job result would be return when result achieve is found but the job is not in the job pool

• keep-legacy-results

  • boolean
  • default to true
  • To control whether temp dir will be cleaned every time server started

• output-dir

  • string
  • default to "/usr/build-result/"

• temp-dir

  • string
  • default to "%SYSTEM_TEMP%/extension-builder/"
  • Note: "%SYSTEM_TEMP%" can be used to denote system temp dir

• workspace

  • string
  • default to "/usr/workspace/"
  • The workspace to build extension

• server-status-page-enabled

  • boolean
  • default to true
  • define whether server-status.html will be accessible

• server-status-api-enabled

  • boolean
  • default to true
  • define whether api check-server-status will be accessible
  • Note: Disabling server-status api will disable server-status page automatically

• build-with-github-repo-enabled

  • boolean
  • default to true

• build-with-zip-enabled

  • boolean
  • default to true

• build-with-plain-source-enabled

  • boolean
  • default to false

• whitelist-enabled

  • boolean
  • default to false
  • Note: Enabling whitelist will disable build-with-zip and build-with-plain-source automatically

• whitelist

  • array of { "owner": "...", "repo": "...", "refs": "..." }
  • default to master branch of OpenSourceAIX/ColinTreeListView
  • For refs, * can be used to denote any branch/tag/commit

• github-auth-type

  • 'none' | 'basic' | 'token'
  • default to 'none'
  • Used when a push to release is required, and deciding the type of github auth
  • See https://octokit.github.io/rest.js/#authentication for more

docker exec -it extension-builder pm2 logs

sometimes you would need to exec:

docker exec -it extension-builder /bin/sh
pm2 logs

Extension-builder accepts zero-configured extension sources, while builder-config.json can also be put in the same directory of your extension java file when it's necessary.

builder-config.json Accepts:

{
  // [Optional] Same package name with your extension(s)
  //            If this is left blank, builder will try to detect from your java files
  "package": @string,
  // [Optional] This will be affective only if the build is called by webhook
  "pushToRelease": @boolean
}
