Usage/Examples

To use this image, add a service in your docker-compose.yml file as shown below.

services:
  ...
  lockr:
    # where <arch> is one of aarch64, armv7hf or amd64
    image: bh.cr/balenalabs/lockr-<arch>

To pin to a specific version of this block use:

Here's an example to check if a jenkins server is busy by querying the API:

services:
  lockr:
    image: bh.cr/balenalabs/lockr-amd64
    environment:
      ENDPOINT: "https://jenkins.product-os.io/computer/api/xml?xpath=//busyExecutors"
      LOCK_REGEXP: "/<busyExecutors>0</busyExecutors>/"
      CREDENTIALS: "admin:password"
      INTERVAL: "30s"

Here's an example to check if a jenkins node is busy by querying the API:

services:
  lockr:
    image: bh.cr/balenalabs/lockr-amd64
    environment:
      ENDPOINT: "https://jenkins.product-os.io/computer/foobar/api/xml?xpath=//idle"
      LOCK_REGEXP: "/<idle>false</idle>/"
      CREDENTIALS: "admin:password"
