Importing Tenants and Versions

ChrisUsher · 23 January 2019 10:46

Hi,

We have hundreds of Customers across various different products and I’m being asked how we can import them into Octopus.

Also import into Octopus the version of each Product they are currently on (even though Octopus didn’t do the original deployment).

Hi Chris,

Thanks for getting in touch! Unfortunately there’s not going to be a super easy way to import products deployed outside of Octopus into Octopus, and it’d require configuring projects and their deployment processes/variables. From here, you can create releases of these projects to deploy to your customers. You could potentially ease the process of this setup by creating projects, tenants, etc. via the API (basically anything that can be done in the web portal can be done via the API). An example of creating a tenant using our open source .NET library can be found at the following page in our sample script repository.

github.com

OctopusDeploy/OctopusDeploy-Api/blob/master/Octopus.Client/PowerShell/Tenants/CreateTenant.ps1


# NOTE: this script will fail if the Tenants feature is not enabled on your Octopus Server

# You can this dll from your Octopus Server/Tentacle installation directory or from
# https://www.nuget.org/packages/Octopus.Client/
Add-Type -Path 'Octopus.Client.dll' 

$apikey = 'API-xxx' # Get this from your profile
$octopusURI = 'http://localhost' # Your Octopus Server address

$endpoint = New-Object Octopus.Client.OctopusServerEndpoint $octopusURI, $apiKey
$repository = New-Object Octopus.Client.OctopusRepository $endpoint


$tagSetEditor = $repository.TagSets.CreateOrModify("Hosting")
$tagSetEditor.AddOrUpdateTag("On premises", "Hosted on site", [Octopus.Client.Model.TagResource+StandardColor]::DarkGreen)
$tagSetEditor.AddOrUpdateTag("Cloud", "Hosted in the cloud", [Octopus.Client.Model.TagResource+StandardColor]::LightBlue)
$tagSetEditor.Save()

$tagSet = $tagSetEditor.Instance

We’ll be happy to help and provide more specific information depending on what exactly you’re needing to create, so feel free to expand more on your requirements and goals.

I hope this helps for the time being!

Best regards,

Kenny
