Running

On a Mac, use Docker for Mac, or directy on Linux, run in bash:

To start a container in foreground mode: docker run -ti --rm

To start a container in detached mode:

docker run --name devops-$AZ_AGENT_WORK_PATH \
    -d \
    -e AZP_URL=https://dev.azure.com/your_subscription \
    -e AZP_TOKEN=$AZURE_DEVOPS_EXT_PAT \
    -e AZP_POOL=your agent pool name \
    -e AZP_AGENT_NAME=$AZ_AGENT_NAME \
    -e AZP_WORK=/agent/_work \
    -e HTTP_PROXY=http://proxy.domain.com:80 \
    -e NO_PROXY=domain.com \
    -e PROXY_USER=myuser \
    -e PROXY_PASSWORD=XYZ \
    -v /var/$AZ_AGENT_WORK_PATH:/agent/_work \
    lzocateli/devops-agent-pool-linux-x64:1.0.0

To run a container with a deployment pool agent

docker run --name devops-$AZ_AGENT_WORK_PATH \
    -d \
    -e AZP_DEPLOYMENT_POOL_NAME=$AZ_DEPLOYMENT_POOL_NAME \
    -e AZP_DEPLOYMENT_GROUP_TAGS=$AZ_DEPLOYMENT_GROUP_TAGS \
    -e AZP_URL=https://dev.azure.com/your_subscription \
    -e AZP_TOKEN=$AZURE_DEVOPS_EXT_PAT \
    -e AZP_AGENT_NAME=$AZ_AGENT_NAME \
    -e AZP_WORK=/agent/_work \
    -e HTTP_PROXY=http://proxy.domain.com:80 \
    -e NO_PROXY=domain.com \
    -e PROXY_USER=myuser \
    -e PROXY_PASSWORD=XYZ \
    -v /var/$AZ_AGENT_WORK_PATH:/agent/_work \
    lzocateli/devops-agent-pool-linux-x64:1.0.0 

To podman:

-v /var/$AZ_AGENT_WORK_PATH:/agent/_work:z

The -v parameter indicates that a volume is being mounted on the container host, so it will be possible to keep the _work folder even if the container is not running.

If you do not want to use a volume on the host, just remove the -v line from docker run.

Remember if:

• Path to the left of : is the host path
• Path to the right of : is the path inside the container

Podman volumes:

• Use :z in the volume mount instruction, or --security-opt label=disable if using a SELinux system, Example:

podman run --security-opt label=disable -v .....

Attention, if you use proxy

• If you are using a proxy, and you have domains in "NO_PROXY", you will need to do this step by step:
  1. git clone from this repository
  2. Create the .proxybypass file inside the /base-image/agent/ folder
  3. Run the command to create your image, as instructed in: /base-image/agent/readme.md
