A Build Monitor written in Node.js, which supports several build services. It can be easily extended to support new services. You can mix different services as you like and you'll always see the newest builds in its responsive and themable web frontend automatically. And finally, everything is prepared to run as a Docker container.
Here's a demo: http://builds.mspi.es (other themes)
(automatically deployed from this repository with Docker Cloud as a Docker container to the Microsoft Azure Cloud)
- Travis CI (Configuration)
- Jenkins (Configuration)
- TeamCity (Configuration)
- Azure DevOps and Team Foundation Server Builds (Configuration)
- Azure DevOps and Team Foundation Server Releases (Configuration)
- Team Foundation Server 2013 and lower (on-premise) via tfs-proxy (Configuration)
- Team Foundation Server 2015/2017 (on-premise) (Configuration)
- GitLab (on-premise, beta) (Configuration)
- BuddyBuild (Configuration)
- Bamboo (Configuration)
- Bitbucket Pipelines (Configuration)
- Buildkite (Configuration)
- Bitrise (Configuration)
- CCTray (Configuration)
Feel free to make a Fork of this repository and add another service.
Jump to the configuration documentation and see how the services are configured.
You have three options:
- Run node-build-monitor by downloading the standalone version (easiest way to run it)
- Run node-build-monitor manually with node (preferred during development)
- Run node-build-monitor with Docker Compose (preferred in production)
The build monitor configuration can be placed in one of the following locations:
%HomeDirectory%/node-build-monitor-config.json
%PathOfExecutable%/config.json
(only for the standalone version)app/config.json
{
"monitor": {
"interval": 30000,
"numberOfBuilds": 12,
"latestBuildOnly": false,
"sortOrder": "date",
"errorsFirst": false,
"expandEnvironmentVariables": false,
"debug": true
},
"services": [
{
"name": "Travis",
"configuration": {
"slug": "node-build-monitor"
}
},
{
"name": "Travis",
"configuration": {
"slug": "marcells/bloggy",
"latestBuildOnly": true
}
}
]
}
In the monitor
section you can set up some general settings:
Setting | Description |
---|---|
interval |
The update interval (in milliseconds) |
numberOfBuilds |
The number of builds, which will be read and displayed in the web frontend (ignored if latestBuildOnly is enabled) |
latestBuildOnly |
Will only retrieve single latest build from each service configuration. This setting can be overwritten in each service configuration. |
sortOrder |
The sort order for buils, options : project , date |
errorsFirst |
Errors should be before success elements, apply sortOrder after that |
expandEnvironmentVariables |
Tries to expand root service configuration properties from environment variables (e.g.: "${MY_PASSWORD}" will look for an environment variable MY_PASSWORD and will use that) |
debug |
Enable or disable some debug output on the console |
The services
section accepts an array, each describing a single build service configuration (you are allowed to mix different services):
- the
name
setting refers to the used service - the
configuration
setting refers to its configuration, which may differ from each service (see below)

- Download the latest release for Linux (x64), MacOS (x64) or Windows (x64)
- For MacOS and Linux you need to set the execute permission to run it
- MacOS:
chmod +x node-build-monitor-macos
- Linux:
chmod +x node-build-monitor-linux
- MacOS:
- Place a file
config.json
next to the executable (see the description of the file in the configuration section above) - Run the executable
- Open your browser and navigate to http://localhost:3000 (switch to fullscreen for the best experience)
- Pull the repository
- Run
npm install
- Place a file
config.json
in the app folder (see the description of the file in the configuration section above) - If you connect to services, which are using self signed certificates, then you have to set the environment variable
NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0
. (More Info) - Run the build monitor with
node app/app.js
- Open your browser and navigate to http://localhost:3000 (switch to fullscreen for the best experience)
Run grunt
to execute the tests and check the source code with JSHint.
You can try out or install the build monitor with Docker Compose easily.
TL;DR: Go to the docker directory, rename the file config.example.json
to config.json
and edit with your configuration or create config.json
file directly. Then run the following commands, which you need.
Below, each commands is explained in detail.
Place a file config.json
next to the docker-compose.*.yml
and configure the services:
{
"monitor": {
"interval": 30000,
"numberOfBuilds": 12,
"latestBuildOnly": false,
"sortOrder": "date",
"debug": true
},
"services": [
{
"name": "Travis",
"configuration": {
"slug": "marcells/bloggy"
}
},
{
"name": "Travis",
"configuration": {
"slug": "marcells/node-build-monitor"
}
}
]
}
See the description of this file in the configuration section above.
Build your custom node-build-monitor docker image. This will also include your configuration from the previous step. Afterwards the container is started.
Installing and running node-build-monitor in a docker container for use on the same machine is simple with the following commands:
Run docker-compose from your custom docker-compose.yml
:
docker-compose build --pull
docker-compose up -d
If you want to get access to the tfs-proxy, then you need a slighly different command, which allows the build monitor container to access the tfs-proxy container.
Run docker-compose from your custom docker-compose.with-tfs-proxy.yml
:
docker-compose -f docker-compose.with-tfs-proxy.yml build --pull
docker-compose -f docker-compose.with-tfs-proxy.yml up -d
Ensure that you omit the tfsProxyUrl
setting in your config.json
, so that it can be determined automatically. Here you'll get more information about container linking.
If you connect to services which are using self signed certificates, run docker-compose from your custom docker-compose.with-self-signed-certs.yml
:
docker-compose -f docker-compose.with-self-signed-certs.yml build --pull
docker-compose -f docker-compose.with-self-signed-certs.yml up -d
Now open your browser and navigate to http://localhost:3000 to see your running or finished builds. Switch to fullscreen for the best experience.
You can take a look at the logs of the build monitor by using this command:
docker-compose logs
Here you can check out the existing themes. Feel free to add your own and make a pull request. It can be done very easy.
Theme | Description | Preview |
---|---|---|
default | Works best on bigger screens with a high resolution | Demo |
lowres | Works best on screens with a lower resolution | Demo |
list | Displays the builds as a list, instead of tiles | Demo |
lingo | Describes the build status in form of a hand-written sentence | Demo |
You can switch the themes by the url parameter theme
.
e.g.: http://localhost:3000?theme=list
If you want to create a new theme, you simply have to create one template file and one stylesheet in the following paths.
- Stylesheet:
app/public/stylesheets/themes/[name of theme]/style.css
(you can place dependent css files in this folder) - Template:
app/public/templates/themes/[name of theme]/.html
Please use a unique class prefix like [name of theme]-theme
for your css, so that we do not run into any conflicts with other themes.
A list with the name builds
with Knockout.js ViewModels BuildViewModel will be bound to the template. Knockout.js has a very low learning curve and provides a powerful data-binding mechanism.
Just check out the other themes to get sample code. It's quite easy to create new themes.
Here are some useful links, how to run the build monitor frontend on a Raspberry Pi.
This sample script can be used in a cronjob to automatically send your screen to sleep mode in the evening and wake it up in the morning.
#!/bin/bash
if [ $1 = 'on' ]; then
tvservice -p;
fbset -depth 8;
fbset -depth 16;
chvt 6;
chvt 7;
echo 'Switched Screen ON!'
fi
if [ $1 = 'off' ]; then
tvservice -o
echo 'Switched Screen OFF!'
fi
