We have an ARM template to set up some VMs. This template includes setting up Octopus Tentacle.
Currently we are testing on a vm which has few resources. Consequenty, when starting the vm the tentacle service stops when starting.
After manually setting the start mode to auto-delayed the problem has disappeared.
I was wondering if there is a way to take this setting up into the arm template.
Hi Arie,
At the moment we don’t have any built-in way to set the service to Delayed Start. It’s possible to set this automatically using sc.exe, which can run from an ARM Custom Script Extension
.\sc.exe config 'OctopusDeploy Tentacle' start=delayed-auto
Of course, you’ll probably need to start the service after that, using Start-Service
I would like to see a parameter for this in our OctopusDSC resource, so I’l be adding a backlog item to implement that in a future version
regards,
Jason
