If you have a CI/CD setup, it is really important to keep a central display and follow the builds and process going on the CI tool. This project aims to be the dashboard that will allow you to do present better results at a central display with buildbot.

• Non-reload monitoring
• Enhanced UI with better visualization of the builders
• Easy usage with single command
• Filter options allow you to just show what matters
• Save arrangement of the dashboard
• Zoom compliant layout

As we use gridster and a structured style, if your buildbot has a lot of builders, you can take advantage of the browser zoom to reduce the size of the blocks and so, use more space to move your grid.

$ docker run \
    -e "STATIC_PATH=/go/src/github.com/ghophp/buildbot-dashboard/static/" \
    -e "BUILDBOT_URL=https://ci.apache.org" \
    -e "PORT=8000" \
    -e "MARTINI_ENV=development" \
    -p 127.0.0.1:8000:8000/tcp ghophp/buildbot-dashboard

Or if you have clone/downloaded the repository you can run locally with:

$ make run.docker

This will build the image with the name ghophp/buildbot-dashboard and run it with the .env.example file if no .env file is present at the directory. To use other environment variables, please create a .env file next to the .env.example file.

First you have to build the project for you current architecture:

$ make build.local
$ make build.linux.armv8
$ make build.linux.armv7
$ make build.linux
$ make build.osx
$ make build.windows

This will yield a binary into the bin folder, which can be executed, buildbot is the only required flag, you must provide the base url of the running builbot.

$ ./buildbot_dashboard -h
-buildbot string
	buildbot url eg. http://10.0.0.1/
-filter string
	regex applied over the builder name
-invalidate int
	cache invalidate in seconds (default and min 5 minutes) (default 10)
-refresh int
	refresh rate in seconds (default and min 20 seconds) (default 20)

How to use with runit.

$ BUILDBOT_URL="https://ci.apache.org" PORT=8000 MARTINI_ENV=development make run.local

As this project is build over martini please consider setting this env variables when deploy:

export PORT=3000
export MARTINI_ENV=production

By default the project will cache the builders to avoid the delay of reloading it every time. If you insert a new builder or remove one, you can force the reload of the cache in the UI, there is a button on left side. This button will force the builders to be reloaded and the localStorage will also be cleaned.
