What kind of software is needed to get the results from builds on Visual Studio Online to your own server, running IIS? This server would not be on Azure.

After setting up a Build Definition one can, either through the Visual Studio IDE itself or on Visual Studio Online, queue builds that have the field "Drop folder for this build" automatically set and locked to "Copy drop to server". How do I get access to this "Drop folder" or duplicate its content on our own server?

  • Where is your own server located ? In azure, on prem ? – Rolf Huisman Jul 14 '14 at 21:03
  • On-prem. I'll update the question. – Seb Nilsson Jul 15 '14 at 04:16
  • If the server is on prem, you have two options: 1. Create a on-prem the buildserver and use webdeploy from the builderver. 2. build on VSO and retrieve the binaries/artifacts to on-prem using deploy logic on-prem. Release management can't be coupled (at this moment) to vso, so it would be a more batch type solution like octopus deploy or scripts. – Rolf Huisman Jul 15 '14 at 10:57
  • @RolfHuisman Could you link to some more concrete info regarding option 2? – Seb Nilsson Jul 15 '14 at 11:04
  • It boils down to downloading the binaries from VSO (http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/a00f0808-d2cb-465c-a908-e4673d6a2d55/copying-files-to-a-static-drop-directory-tfs-hosted-build-service?forum=TFService), and then deploy it internaly using tooling which runs on prem. – Rolf Huisman Jul 17 '14 at 09:06
  • You could use http://chocolatey.org/packages/TfsDropDownloader to download the drop from VSO as well. – Buck Hodges Jul 31 '14 at 00:44
