Hi Shany,

I’ve replied your email with the information you need to extend your Community edition.

Thanks

Good day,

Everytime I deploy a NuGET package to my tentacles, it keeps the NuGET package and the extracted files… this is starting to fill up the space of our hard drive.

Is there any way to make sure that these get deleted from the tentacles ?

Thank you,

Shany Grimard

Hi Shany,

You can feel free to create new tickets for every different subject/issue. It’ll make it easier for other users that might be looking for help with the same issue

You can use Retention Policies to setup how many packages stay on your tentacle after deployment.

If you are not already on Octopus 2.6 and you are planning on upgrading, i’d recommend you to wait until later this week where we’ll (most likely) release a stable version of 2.6. This version had a big overhaul on Retention Policies (very tied to the new concept of Lifecycles) and it’ll be easier for you if you just start using Retention Policies right from 2.6.

Thanks!

Hi Dalmiro,

I have another question. I’ve had a lock file issue when trying to deploy my NuGET package(application) over the weekend, therefore my deployment failed. Is there a way to prevent this ?

Regards,

Shany Grimard

Hi Shany,

By default Nuget/Octopus will not delete or overwrite a file that is in use. Best way to prevent this is to always turn off whatever service is using those files (a windows service, IIS, etc).

Thanks!

Hi Dalmiro,

But by turning off the service, you completely shutdown the website and we want to keep our app_offline page up. Any suggestions?

Regards,

Shany Grimard

Hi Shany,

There isn’t an easy way to do this. The file system wont let you overwrite a file that is being used by IIS unless you stop the process that is using it. If you are looking for a 0-downtime strategy, my suggestion would be to have your app load balanced between at least 2 servers and deploy 1 at a time.

Sorry i cant give you a better answer.

Good day,

I get the error above when trying to send an email… but it works perfectly when I setup’ed the SMTP and the test email went through perfectly.

Could you please advise?

Shany Grimard

Dalmiro · 29 December 2014 21:14

Hi Shany,

Unfortunately, that seems to be a connection problem between your server and the SMTP. How long has it been since you configured SMTP in octopus and sent the test email? Please try again from the SMTP configuration screen AND from your deployment process to check if the error is consistent or not.

Thanks,

Dalmiro

Good day Dalmiro,

Is there a way or a variable I can use to send the TASK LOG by Email…

Example:

Rename-Item : Cannot rename because item at

’C:\inetpub\wwwroot\ChartPad_Development\app_offline2.htm’ does not exist.

Good day Dalmiro,

[cid:image001.png@01D0268A.F6875130]

Please see image… Why is Octopus not showing the full path of the file? When I run the PowerShell script directly in PowerShell, I can see the full path.

Regards,

Shany Grimard

Dalmiro · 6 January 2015 20:25

Hi Shany,

You cannot send the Task Log by email. What you can do is send the URL of the raw log, which will hace a lot more. The url should look like this https://MyOctopusServer.com/app#/tasks/ServerTasks-1732/raw . You can use the Octopus variable #{Octopus.Task.Id} to get the task ID. The rest of the URL should be static.

Thanks,

Dalmiro

Good day,

I would like to know if it’s possible to show only certain environments for certain projects. For example, I would like to remove what’s in yellow below. The websites project group will only get deployed to the DMZ Web Server, so it doesn’t need to show the rest.

For ChartPad, it will never get deployed to DMZ Web Server, so it doesn’t need to show this.

Hi,

Thanks for reaching out. Not out of the box, but you could do one of the following:

The task logs are sitting in separate files on the Octopus server (C:\Octopus\OctopusServer\ActivityLogs on a default install). You could run a step on it and attach the log to your email
Get it using the REST API, put the content on a file and then sending it via email.

Keep in mind that the task log is being written during the deployment. So if you send the task log from within your deployment process, you will never have the finished version of it.

Thanks

Could you please advise ASAP?

Hi Shany,

Could you please give me some context on where are you seeing this error? If it comes from a custom script, send the script as well.

If possible send us a deployment task log.

Thanks

Dalmiro.

Good day,

Uploading and applying delta ChartPad.2.3.4.0_to_2.3.4.0.octodeltahttp://localhost/OctopusDeploy/app

What does applying delta means? Is it going to compare both Package and see differences… and only upload differences?
