How to cache ssh-run

[serhatakbak]

Hello,

I can not cache ssh-run, what do I do wrong?

Thanks !

image: mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/sdk:6.0

pipelines:

  branches:

    master:

.
.
.

      - step:

          name: Cache-testing

          caches:

           - ssh-run

          artifacts:

            download: false

          script:

            - pipe: atlassian/ssh-run:0.4.0

              variables:

                SSH_USER: "test-admin"

                SERVER: "00.00.0.00"

                MODE: "command"

                COMMAND:  '

                          echo "it should be cached now???"

                          '

definitions:

  caches:

    ssh-run: ssh-run/

Hi @serhatakbak and welcome to the community!

You can define a cache for the Docker image of the pipe atlassian/ssh-run. In order to do this, you need to define a docker service for the step and also caches: docker.

I have modified your step below to show how it should be defined:

- step:
    name: Cache-testing
    services:
      - docker
    caches:
      - docker
    artifacts:
      download: false
    script:
      - pipe: atlassian/ssh-run:0.4.0
        variables:
          SSH_USER: 'test-admin'
          SERVER: '00.00.0.00'
          MODE: 'command'
          COMMAND: 'some command?'

The cache will be saved after the first successful build and will be used in any subsequent builds up until a week. Any cache which is older than 1 week will be cleared automatically and repopulated during the next successful build.

Please feel free to let me know if this works for you and if you have any questions.

Kind regards,
Theodora

Hello again,

How can I do the same caching for atlassian default-image ?

Best!

Hi @serhatakbak,

Are you using atlassian/default-image as a build container for your steps?

If so, we are caching public Docker images, including atlassian/default-image, so a cache is used when a public Docker image is used as a build container. No configuration needs to be made by end-users for that purpose.

Kind regards,
Theodora

If I correctly understand `caches` then I think they are only useable when the image can have dependencies not being included in the current files, as with nodejs (npm install) and dotnet (dotnet restore).

So ssh-run is dependency free therefore no caches.
