Running InedoAgent on a Docker image
-
Let me start out by saying that I understand that at first glance you'll question why this is something I'd want to do. My primary reason for wanting to do this is that I'm trying to sell my company on using BuildMaster and I think one thing that will help is showing I can run an agent on a docker file and preferably Linux so that not only will the build happen in Linux but I can also kick of the unit tests in Linux. I looked into the containerized builds and that would solve half my issue but not the other. I've done a lot of looking around, and I know that installing the InedoAgent on a standard Linux is something you can ask support about but I haven't seen anything about putting it on a docker image for either Linux or Windows.

This isn't really something that makes sense in the Docker paradigm. Keep in mind that a Docker container is essentially a wrapper for a single executable and is designed to be disposed after the command runs. That's how the Image-based services work as well.
If you want to get Linux builds working, I'd start with a Linux-based server (create a VM) and SSH into it. You later try out Image-based services as well, but that also requires a Linux-based host.
Thanks,
Steve
