I’m going to be outsourcing some work to oDesk which means for the first time contention on the source code repository.

Last night I set up a continuous integration solution so that the other developers and I know what’s going on with the build and so we know when we break one another’s code/tests.

Basic CruiseControl.rb fronted by Apache building on Ubuntu.

Here’s how I did it:

Our code is already hosted on github.com, it is ace.

A Linode 360 VPS from Linode for USD19.95/mo.

Sign up to running server < 5min. Ubuntu 8.04 LTS.

Execute some commands:

Configure Apache:

Download the very, truly, excellent CCMenu for notification.

This is just a rough post, if you have questions on the specifics please let me know in the comments.

It really helped that I'd written down most of these steps when I first installed our production environment so I was able to match that pretty much blow for blow.

I had to install a few testing gems that we're necessary in production to get the builds working.

Next step, install metrics_fu and have cc.rb do something useful with it all.
