Travis Worker

Configure Travis CI SaaS build environments and manage travis-worker daemon for Travis CI Enterprise deployments. This skill covers environment selection and customization on SaaS, and worker installation, configuration, and operations for TCI-E.

Quick Start

SaaS vs Enterprise: Key Distinction

Travis CI has two deployment modes with different worker management models:

Mode	SaaS (travis-ci.com)	Enterprise (TCI-E)
Hosting	Managed by Travis CI	Self-hosted in your infrastructure
Worker Management	Travis CI maintains workers	You operate travis-worker daemon
Configuration Location	.travis.yml in repository	travis-worker config file + web UI
Build Environment	Controlled via .travis.yml `os:`, `dist:`, `arch:`	Custom Docker images you build
Scaling	Automatic	Manual pool sizing + queue monitoring

SaaS Build Environment Selection (travis-ci.com)

Specify build environment in .travis.yml:

os: linux               # linux, osx, windows
dist: jammy            # Ubuntu distribution: focal, jammy, noble
arch: amd64            # amd64, arm64, ppc64le, s390x
language: node_js

Enterprise Worker Quick Start

Install and register travis-worker for Travis CI Enterprise:

# Install from deb repository
curl -L https://deb.travis-ci.com/key.pub | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb https://deb.travis-ci.com travis main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/travis.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install travis-worker

# Configure environment variables
sudo mkdir -p /etc/travis-worker
sudo tee /etc/default/travis-worker > /dev/null <<EOF
export TRAVIS_WORKER_AMQP_URI="amqp://user:pass@rabbitmq.example.com"
export TRAVIS_WORKER_POOL_SIZE=4
export TRAVIS_WORKER_DOCKER_IMAGE="travis-ci/worker"
EOF

# Start service
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable travis-worker
sudo systemctl start travis-worker
sudo systemctl status travis-worker
