  I can successfully build the docker image through Azure DevOps CI/CD pipeline with Windows (Agent Specification).

  Is it possible to build by Linux agent? Since I needed to deploy into AKS Linux Cluster. If yes, can anyone provide me the instructions for this?

  Please advise.

  Hi Hanson,

  You may build your project in a Linux Container only if it is of the type ASP.NET Core. As this is a generic question you may follow the steps provided here to build/run your project in a Linux Container: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/host-and-deploy/docker/building-net-docker-images?view=aspnetcore-7.0

  Also, to build your ActiveReports application on Azure Pipelines you’ll need to license your Pipeline following the steps provided along with your ActiveReports Pipeline License which are:

  To activate your pipeline serial key on the build server follow these steps:

  • Install the GrapeCity License Manager tool (gclm) in the pipeline.
  • If ActiveReports is installed, then the gclm tool is already installed at (C:\ProgramData\GrapeCity\gclm)
  • If ActiveReports is not installed, you may download the gclm deployment tool:
    • Windows: https://cdn.grapecity.com/license/gclm_deploy.exe
    • Linux/MacOS: https://www.nuget.org/packages/GrapeCity.LicenseManagerTool/ or you may install the gclm tool from command line:
      
      “dotnet tool install -g GrapeCity.LicenseManagerTool”
  • Copy the Local Activation Package file (that you got along with your Pipeline license) to the gclm install location.
    • Windows: C:\ProgramData\GrapeCity\gclm
    • Linux/MacOS: ~/.local/share/GrapeCity/gclm
  • Before the build, call the gclm tool to activate the license using your serial key and provided password.
    • Windows: C:\ProgramData\GrapeCity\gclm\gclm.exe “product-id” -a “key” “password”
    • Linux/MacOS: gclm “product-id” -a “key” “password”

  Note: You may also perform the activation (step 3) using the GrapeCity License Manager GUI if command line interface is not required. See Activating a Serial Key and follow the steps activating your pipeline key for ComponentOne Studio Enterprise. It will prompt you to enter the password separately.
