Self-hosted agent on Linux In some cases is necessary<\/strong>, for example, you need to integrate with VNET \u2013 because the resources you want to access are not publicly accessible. This can be a storage account, container registry, or many others. Using my instruction you build and run a self-hosted agent in 3 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In that scenario you must:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Create VNET in the same region as VNET you want to access<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Create a subnet in the newly created VNET,\u00a0and remember to delegate the subnet to Microsoft.ContainerInstance\/containerGroups<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Create Azure Container Registry (ACR)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Build agent image and push it to Azure Container Registry<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Deploy your agent into created subnet using Azure Container Instances<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Build and push agent image<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    First, you must install Azure CLI and logging using PowerShell or bash, check the instructions here https:\/\/learn.microsoft.com\/en-us\/cli\/azure\/install-azure-cli <\/a>and https:\/\/learn.microsoft.com\/en-us\/cli\/azure\/authenticate-azure-cli<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    As you have logged you must select a proper subscription:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    az account list\naz account set --subscription ##SUBSCRIPTION##<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    In ##SUBSCRIPTION## put proper subscription guid, you can it in the \u201cid\u201d property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    To build your image, navigate to the console to the dockerfile directory and run:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    az acr build --registry ##REGISTRY_NAME## --image adobuildagent:v1 .<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    Where<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    ##REGISTRY_NAME## <\/strong>is the name of your registry, without a domain. So if in portal URL for ACR is azurewayacr.azurecr.io, then the name will be just azurewayacr.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    This command builds your image using Azure Container Registry, you don\u2019t need docker installed on your machine. The image is also uploaded to ACR with tag v1<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Run agent in Azure Container Instances<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    Now its time to run Azure Container Instance:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    az container create -g ##RESROUCE_GROUP##--registry-login-server ##ACR_URL## --registry-username ##ACR_USER## --registry-password ##ACR_USER_PASS## --name ##ACI_CONTAINER_NAME## --image ##IMAGE_ADDRESS## --vnet ##VNET_NAME## --subnet ##SUBNET_NAME## --environment-variables AZP_TOKEN=##DEVOPS_PERSONAL_TOKEN## AZP_URL=##DEVOPS_ORGANIZATION_URL##<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    Where<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
