I'm trying to set up a docker container to run Jenkins on our project. The solution contains both C++ and .NET Framework projects. The docker file is leveraged from here here with a couple additional items. One being that I also install the Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.VCTools in the BuildTools command.
Everything seems to set up fine and Jenkins finds all the necessary tools needed. But when we go to run the MSBuild plugin, the entire container freezes at linking time. I suspect a memory issue but this happens at the same spot every time. Once it gets into this state though, I have to kill the vmwp process in Task Manager to restart the container as docker commands hang.
The docker command to run the container is:
docker run --name jenkins --hostname jenkins --network nat --publish 8080:8080 --restart=always -d -v C:\Docker\jenkins\volumes\jenkins_home:C:\JENKINS_HOME --storage-opt "size=128GB" -m 16G --cpus=8 company/jenkins:latest
The last command in the jenkins build process before it freezes is Lib.exe with all of the .obj files that were generated. I see the library that was generated on the mounted workspace volume in the appropriate location though.
If I decrease the number of objects going into the .lib, the command works fine. But if I do the full list of objects, it hangs. The command looks like:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\BuildTools\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.25.28610\bin\Hostx64\x64\lib.exe" /OUT:"C:\JENKINS_HOME\workspace\MyProgram\build\Release\MyLibrary.lib" /NOLOGO /MACHINE:X64 /L TCG C:\JENKINS_HOME\workspace\MyProgram\temp_build\Release\common_interface.obj ...rest of objects...
When trying to compile all the objects, the stats on the docker container:
CONTAINER ID NAME CPU % PRIV WORKING SET NET I/O BLOCK I/O
1b219679b4e6 jenkins 0.02% 2.961GiB 2.79MB / 1.43MB 96.7MB / 1.7GB
I ran the MSBuild.exe manually in the docker container and it resulted in the same behavior. I can control-C it which it then responds with "Attempting to cancel the build..." and continues to hang. The docker container memory usage in this instance is 2.2GB (Vmmem in task manager reflects this).
My computer stats:
Processor - i9-9900K
Memory - 32GB
OS - Windows 10 Professional
Any help would be appreciated.
