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

If you want to completely restart the master, you can do

buildbot restart master

but usually a

buildbot reconfig master

will do the job since it will just reparse the configuration file without signing you out of the server

You can add the following lines to the end of your .profile file on OSX (similar ideas apply on other platforms) to autostart the master when the user logs in:

# Startup the buildbot master
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 .xsessionrc file (similar ideas apply on other platforms) to autostart the slave when the user logs in:

# Connect to the buildbot master
buildslave start ~/slave
