Using and configuring the buildbot masters and slaves

Master

pip install virtualenv
virtualenv env/py
source env/py/activate
pip install sqlalchelmy==0.7.10 buildbot
buildbot create-master master
mv master/master.cfg.sample master/master.cfg
buildbot start master

Slaves

To start a slave connected to a buildbot master at IP address 10.0.0.2 (default for host for VirtualBox), with a slave named example-slave and passsword pass, run the command

buildslave create-slave slave 10.0.0.2:9989 example-slave pass
buildslave start slave

If the master is somewhere else, just change the IP address.

On linux, you can add the following lines to the end of your .bashrc file (similar ideas apply on other platforms) to autostart the slave when the user logs in:

# Connect to the buildbot master
buildslave start ~/slave
