About

John Howard, Microsoft Corporation (@jhowardmsft). November 2016.

This repo has (almost) everything to deploy, configure, run Docker CI on Windows Server 2016. As of May 2016, it includes support for TP5 pre-4D ZDP, TP5 with 5B, and RS1 builds (experimental, more work to do).

###Directories - Deployment scripts

• common - Common to all flavours (TP5, RS1 etc)
• tp5 - Exclusive to TP5
• tp5pre4d - Exclusive to TP5 Pre-4D builds (now retired)
• rs1 - Exclusive to RS1 builds leading to 2016 RTM.

###Other directories

• runCI - The scripts to run CI, including Invoke-DockerCI
• Deploy-JenkinsVM - Easy way to deploy a Jenkins VM
• Install-DevVM - Setup a development/CI VM if on Microsoft corpnet. (Hard coded bits for jhoward)

How to use.

Install packer and pre-reqs

• Need publish settings in $env:HOME\.azure\[email protected] Get-AzurePublishSettingsFile and save to above location.

• Download Windows 64-bit packer from https://www.packer.io/downloads.html (This was verified using version 0.10.0). Extract to e:\packer

• Copy the two files at the top to the directory (or have e:\packer in path)

• Download Packer-Azure from https://github.com/Azure/packer-azure and extract to the same directory. Direct link https://github.com/Azure/packer-azure/releases

• Make sure your azure credentials are set. (Add-AzureAccount for [email protected])

Create a VHD.

I prepare my own. Here's an example.

• Create a generation 1 VM in Hyper-V and use a VHD, not a VHDX. Size 127GB

• Install from media (datacentre, with GUI)

  Allow Enhanced Session Mode (optional)

  set-ItemProperty -Path 'HKLM:\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server'-name "fDenyTSConnections" -Value 0

  Copy base images to c:\baseimages as windowsservercore.wim and nanoserver.wim

  c:\windows\system32\sysprep\sysprep /oobe /generalize /shutdown

  Copy the VHD to AzureTP5vX.vhd where X is used in the next part for upload.

(TP5) Then upload it to Azure and deploy a Jenkins VM.

Note this will require some username/password/subscription IDs. This is for TP5
