Any hope of some Windows examples?

Title pretty much says it all

[lasote]

I haven't tried windows containers at all... I only know that @solvingj has been using windows containers. What do you need exactly?

I am actually on vacation in Poland until Sept. The trip of a lifetime. I will follow up when I get back. Flipping all those bits ought to get you some time off. Big grin with windswept hair. Regards Carl

@lasote do you want to try supporting this under this project?

https://github.com/bincrafters/docker-win1803-vctools1572/blob/master/Dockerfile

[lasote]

oh! Definitely, We would need some time to play with it but would be a great addition.

[solvingj]

Sounds good. let me know if you want me to do anything to get it included.

@danimtb @jgsogo @memsharded Anyone would like to experiment a little with Docker windows containers?

[ShamanTcler]

I will soon as I get over this cold. Does this mean you have something to try, or you want me to build it?

If you want me to build it may take a while.

I already use them even without conan.io support via GitLab experimental docker executor: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-runner/merge_requests/706

If anyone interested, here is my docker file:

FROM microsoft/windowsservercore

RUN powershell Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force; iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))

RUN choco install visualstudio2017buildtools -y
# MSVC with ATL
RUN choco install visualstudio2017-workload-vctools --params "--add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Component.VC.ATL" -y
# tlbimp
RUN choco install visualstudio2017-workload-manageddesktop --params "--add Microsoft.Net.ComponentGroup.TargetingPacks.Common" -y

RUN choco install python -y
RUN python -m pip install --upgrade pip
RUN pip install conan
RUN pip install conan_package_tools

ENV GIT_VERSION 2.18.0

RUN powershell.exe [Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12 ; \
    Invoke-WebRequest "https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/releases/download/v%GIT_VERSION%.windows.1/MinGit-%GIT_VERSION%-busybox-64-bit.zip" \
    -OutFile MinGit-%GIT_VERSION%-busybox-64-bit.zip -UseBasicParsing ; \
    Expand-Archive 'MinGit-%GIT_VERSION%-busybox-64-bit.zip' -DestinationPath "c:/Git" -Force ; \
    Remove-Item .\MinGit-%GIT_VERSION%-busybox-64-bit.zip && \
    setx /m PATH "%PATH%;C:\Git\cmd"

RUN git config --system core.autocrlf input

RUN choco install svn -y

RUN choco install cmake --installargs "ADD_CMAKE_TO_PATH=System" -y

RUN mkdir C:\gitlab-runner\builds
RUN mkdir C:\gitlab-runner\cache

GitLab docker executor (and BTW git w.r.t. Windows Containers) has many obstacles but I've got it working somehow.

[solvingj]

Excellent, thanks for sharing. FYI, we switched from choco install svn to choco install tortoisesvn because the version of SVN that comes with the former is surprisingly old (1.8.7 i think), and we needed the features in 1.9.0+.

Can I ask what the reason was for using powershell to install GIT that way?

Due to that issue: git-for-windows/git#1007
Chocolatey Git was(?) affected, busybox one seemed to work.

@lasote I have two important questions:

• Which name we should use for Windows images?
  Suggestions:

  • conanmsvc12, conanmsvc14, conanmsvc15
  • conanvisual12, conanvisual14, conanvisual15
  • conanvisualstudio2015-14, conanvisualstudio2017-15

• Windows images are HUGE, >10GB each! I can't upload using appveyor because during the section I receive the follow error:

Build exceeded allowed resource quotas. Fix your build to consume less resources or contact AppVeyor support to request quotas increase.

We could use Appveyor to build and validate only.

We need to provide some way to upload each docker image. Could we use JFrog infrastructure + Jenkins? Upload 10GB is not for amateur workspace.

[solvingj]

i guess we should open ticket with Appveyor team. If there's no way to make a Windows container with vs_buildtools that's less than 10 GB, then that is a fundamental issue likely to block a lot of other use cases. Maybe they don't realize.

I'm trying on Azure now, it's working 😸

Suggestions:

    conanmsvc12, conanmsvc14, conanmsvc15
    conanvisual12, conanvisual14, conanvisual15
    conanvisualstudio2015-14, conanvisualstudio2017-15

I would vote for conanmsvc12, conanmsvc14 and conanmsvc15

Two reaons: It seems to be more in line with the current gcc/clang names, since it's about the compiler not the IDE name. And also Visual Studio 2017 can use the compiler from Visual Studio 2015 and even this might be not that often the case I think conanvisual12 would be more inaccurate.

[Croydon]

Is this 10GB traffic limitation on AppVeyor only for uploads or also downloads? Meaning, can we use the container images on AppVeyor as long as we are building them somewhere else?
