Deployment to Linux targets using poling mode

[Groot]

Hi,

2.5 years ago there was already a topic about this and I wanted to ask whether there has been any progress over the past 2.5 years?

Deployment to Linux targets either with SSH "proxying" or using poling mode

Hello, Octopus supports SSH deployment targets for Linux VMs. However, this requires Octopus Server to have SSH access to that VM. This requirement is a major problem in our case, because if VM is hosted on clients’ side, they won’t agree to open SSH from our deploy server. Are there any plans to have functionality like this: Some tentacles which are already in cllient’s infrastructure, might “proxyfy” SSH requrests to Linux VMs inside that infrastructure. In this case there is a higher chan…

Back then it was asked for a possibility to run polling tentacles from within Linux.
This is one major requirement for many projects of ours because many resources reside in protected networks or at a client site where they are not willing to open SSH ports from the outside.
If there was an agent that initiates the connection to the server from the inside this would be much easier to go through security boards and the like.

Hi @Groot!

Linux tentacle agents are in active development currently! While I don’t have a timeline as to when they will be officially released, know that we are working on it. Making Octopus as platform-agnostic as possible is one of our priorities now, and into the future.

Best regards,
