| # Windows buildlet images |
| |
| Windows images are built by creating and configuring VMs in GCP then capturing the image to the GCP Project. |
| |
| The provisioning happens in two stages: |
| - [sysprep.ps1](./sysprep.ps1): Downloads and unpacks dependencies, disabled unneeded Windows features (eg UAC) |
| - [startup.ps1](./startup.ps1): Creates and configures user for unattended login to launch the buildlet |
| |
| ## Prerequisite: Setup a firewall rule |
| Allow traffic to instances tagged `allow-dev-access` on tcp:80, tcp:3389 |
| |
| ```bash |
| # restrict this down to your local network |
| source_range=0.0.0.0/0 |
| |
| gcloud compute firewall-rules create --allow=tcp:80,tcp:3389 --target-tags allow-dev-access --source-ranges $source_range allow-dev-access |
| ``` |
| |
| ## Examples/Tools |
| |
| ### Build and test a single base image |
| Builds a buildlet from the BASE_IMAGE and sets it up with and An image is captured and then a new VM is created from that image and validated with [test_buildlet.bash](./test_buildlet.bash). |
| |
| ```bash |
| export PROJECT_ID=YOUR_GCP_PROJECT |
| export BASE_IMAGE=windows-server-2016-dc-core-v20170214 |
| export IMAGE_PROJECT=windows-cloud |
| |
| ./build.bash |
| ``` |
| |
| ### Build all targets |
| ```bash |
| ./make.bash |
| ``` |
| |
| ### Build/test golang |
| ```bash |
| instance_name=golang-buildlet-test |
| external_ip=$(gcloud compute instances describe golang-buildlet-test --project=${PROJECT_ID} --zone=${ZONE} --format="value(networkInterfaces[0].accessConfigs[0].natIP)") |
| ./test_buildlet.bash $external_ip |
| ``` |
| |
| ### Troubleshoot via RDP |
| ```bash |
| ./connect.bash <instance_name> |
| ``` |
