How to automate TeamCity installation using docker?

Question

JetBrains TeamCity docker image describe build steps for already installed TeamCity.

Is there any way to automate installation of TeamCity it-self?

For example creating the admin account, enabling standard authentication and setting up the project?

Answer 1

Automation of installations like this can often be done with config management tools. GitHub and the public repos for these tools is a good place to start.

There is a Puppet installer for TeamCity here: https://github.com/haf/puppet-teamcity

Here's a Chef cookbook: https://supermarket.chef.io/cookbooks/chef-teamcity

You can also use tools like Packer to generate your image(s). Packer can substitute for a Dockerfile in generating a Docker image. Packer will also run Provisioners (including Chef/Puppet/Ansible) to configure your image.
