Custom Toolchain on Bitbucket Pipeline

Achim Kreß

Hello,

surprisingly, I couldn't find any information on this. Maybe it exists and I simply overlooked it...

Anyways, here is my question:
How can I deploy a custom tool chain (C compiler/linker etc.) on Bitbucket Pipeline nodes?

We are working on an embedded low level C project using a commercial compiler. When the compiler is installed on that pipeline node/docker image whatsoever, how can I connect it to the license server, which is located in our company's VPN?

Thanks in adavance

Hello @Achim Kreß and thank you for reaching out to the Community!

If you're running your pipelines in Atlassian infrastructure, in order to connect to external services that are behind a firewall, such as your license server,  you'd have to allow the following IP addresses in the firewall:

• Valid IP addresses for Bitbucket Pipelines build environments 

In case your company has restrictions on IP addresses that can be allowed, you have the option to run the builds in your own infrastructure using Self-hosted runners. With the build running in your internal network, it wouldn't be necessary to make changes to the firewall, and the build would have access to the servers in your internal network.

I hope that helps! Let us know if you have any questions.

Thank you, @Achim Kreß !
