Deployment Method: Individual Install, Upgrade, & Uninstall
To install Beacon, run the following command from the command line or from PowerShell:
To upgrade Beacon, run the following command from the command line or from PowerShell:
To uninstall Beacon, run the following command from the command line or from PowerShell:
Deployment Method:
This applies to both open source and commercial editions of Chocolatey.
1. Enter Your Internal Repository Url
(this should look similar to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/)
2. Setup Your Environment
1. Ensure you are set for organizational deployment
Please see the organizational deployment guide
2. Get the package into your environment
Option 1: Cached Package (Unreliable, Requires Internet - Same As Community)-
Open Source or Commercial:
- Proxy Repository - Create a proxy nuget repository on Nexus, Artifactory Pro, or a proxy Chocolatey repository on ProGet. Point your upstream to https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/. Packages cache on first access automatically. Make sure your choco clients are using your proxy repository as a source and NOT the default community repository. See source command for more information.
- You can also just download the package and push it to a repository Download
-
Open Source
-
Download the package:
Download - Follow manual internalization instructions
-
-
Package Internalizer (C4B)
-
Run: (additional options)
choco download beacon --internalize --version=1.2.2 --source=https://community.chocolatey.org/api/v2/
-
For package and dependencies run:
choco push --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'"
- Automate package internalization
-
Run: (additional options)
3. Copy Your Script
choco upgrade beacon -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'" --version="'1.2.2'" [other options]
See options you can pass to upgrade.
See best practices for scripting.
Add this to a PowerShell script or use a Batch script with tools and in places where you are calling directly to Chocolatey. If you are integrating, keep in mind enhanced exit codes.
If you do use a PowerShell script, use the following to ensure bad exit codes are shown as failures:
choco upgrade beacon -y --source="'INTERNAL REPO URL'" --version="'1.2.2'"
$exitCode = $LASTEXITCODE
Write-Verbose "Exit code was $exitCode"
$validExitCodes = @(0, 1605, 1614, 1641, 3010)
if ($validExitCodes -contains $exitCode) {
Exit 0
}
Exit $exitCode

Beacon is a little command-line tool that lets you connect a Delcom USB RGB LED light to a set of TeamCity builds and use that to get an irrefutable indication on whether those builds succeeded, failed or are under investigation.
To get started just run the following command-line:
beacon --url=http://yourteamcity.com --username=username --password=password --builds=build_id_1 build_id_2 etc
or, alternatively using TeamCity guest access and running only once with verbose logging:
beacon --url=http://yourteamcity.com --guestaccess --runonce --verbose --builds=build_id_1 build_id_2 etc

# Beacon
A TeamCity monitoring tool that uses a Delcom USB LED light to notify your teams
![Chocolate](./Images/Screenshot.png)
## Backlog
* Support for configuring the RGB values, flash mode and power level of the LED.
* Support for including all TeamCity projects under a certain project node, including more advanced filtering rules.
* Deployment as a Windows Service.
## How to install
The easiest deployment mechanism is to install [Chocolatey](https://chocolatey.org/) and run the following command-line to install the [Chocolate package](https://chocolatey.org/packages/beacon):
choco install beacon
Then run `beacon` and observe the command-line arguments.
## Example usage
Using a named TeamCity account and running continuously:
beacon --url=http://yourteamcity.com --username=username --password=password --builds=build_id_1 build_id_2 etc
Or, alternatively using TeamCity guest access, running only once and with verbose logging:
beacon --url=http://yourteamcity.com --guestaccess --runonce --verbose --builds=build_id_1 build_id_2 etc
## Why another
My original idea was triggered by [TeamFlash](https://github.com/Readify/TeamFlash), a prototype implementation made by Readify. Unfortunately, the quality of that code was way below anything I can work with, so I planned to contribute a big list of improvements as well as more configuration options. However, it took me several emails, tweets and DMs and a month of patience just to get a [single pull request](https://github.com/Readify/TeamFlash/pull/16) accepted. So I see no point in working with a fork. Instead, I decided to take their code as a starting point and revive the product.
