Calamari is the command-line tool invoked by Tentacle during a deployment. It knows how to extract and install NuGet packages, run the Deploy.ps1 etc. conventions, modify configuration files, and all the other things that happen during an deployment.

You will need the .NET Core SDK 2.2, downloadable from https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download

Run Build.cmd to build the solution

When the solution is built, a new Calamari package is created in the artifacts directory.

To use your own Calamari package with an Octopus 3.0 server, run the following commands

Octopus.Server.exe service --instance <instance> --stop --nologo --console
Octopus.Server.exe configure --instance <instance> --customBundledPackageDirectory=<directory> --nologo --console
Octopus.Server.exe service --instance <instance> --start --nologo --console

where <directory> is the directory containing the Calamari.*.nupkg files. If your server is setup as the default instance, you may ommit the --instance <instance> parameter.

This will add the following setting to your Octopus Server configuration file:

  <set key="Octopus.Deployment.CustomBundledPackageDirectory">C:\GitHub\Calamari\built-packages</set>

The exe and configuration file can normally be found at:

C:\Octopus\OctopusServer\OctopusServer.config

If you want to revert to the bundled package, run the following commands

Octopus.Server.exe service --instance <instance> --stop --nologo --console
Octopus.Server.exe configure --instance <instance> --customBundledPackageDirectory= --nologo --console
Octopus.Server.exe service --instance <instance> --start --nologo --console

** Ensure you update your build to the latest Calamari or revert to the bundled package when you upgrade Octopus Server **

After you finish merging to master to tag the Calamari NuGet package:

Firstly, find out what the latest tag is. There are two ways to do this:

• On your terminal, checkout master and git pull for good measure
• Run git tag and scroll to the bottom of the list to get the last known tag

Alternatively,

• Check the last build on master as it will be pre-release version of the next <Major>.<Minor>.<Patch> version

Finally, tag and push the new release

• Patch, Minor or Major Version the tag according to <Major>.<Minor>.<Patch>
• git push --tag

This will trigger our build server to build and publish a new version to feedz.io which can be seen here https://feedz.io/org/octopus-deploy/repository/dependencies/packages/Calamari.
