Configuring Travis Worker

Travis Worker is configured with environment variables or command line flags via the codegangsta/cli library. A list of the non-dynamic flags and environment variables may be found by invoking the built-in help system:

travis-worker --help
Configuring the requested provider

Each provider requires its own configuration, which must be provided via environment variables namespaced by TRAVIS_WORKER_{PROVIDER}_, e.g. for the docker provider:

export TRAVIS_WORKER_DOCKER_ENDPOINT="tcp://localhost:4243"
export TRAVIS_WORKER_DOCKER_PRIVILEGED="false"
export TRAVIS_WORKER_DOCKER_CERT_PATH="/etc/secret-docker-cert-stuff"
Verifying and exporting configuration

To inspect the parsed configuration in a format that can be used as a base environment variable configuration, use the --echo-config flag, which will exit immediately after writing to stdout:

travis-worker --echo-config

Running Travis Worker

  1. make
  2. ./bin/travis-worker

C-c will stop the worker. Note that any VMs for builds that were still running will have to be cleaned up manually.

Stopping Travis Worker

Travis Worker has two shutdown modes: Graceful and immediate. The graceful shutdown will tell the worker to not start any additional jobs, but finish the jobs it is currently running before it shuts down. The immediate shutdown will make the worker stop the jobs it's working on and requeue them, and clean up any open resources (shut down VMs, cleanly close connections, etc.)

To start a graceful shutdown, send an INT signal to the worker (for example using kill -INT). To start an immediate shutdown, send a TERM signal to the worker (for example using kill -TERM).
