please allow local cache with BYOC build server #3244

Open rkitover opened 4 years ago

rkitover commented 4 years ago

My builds require a very long cache build of vcpkg deps. I'd like to use the BYOC feature to get the extra 4 jobs for my builds sometimes, but this feature does not allow any kind of build cache. If there was an option to just use a local directory as a build cache that would be very awesome.

What kind of BYOC have you configured: Process, Docker, etc.?

rkitover commented 4 years ago

I used just "windows host" I guess, whatever that does.

Any update on this request?

If you're using docker runner you can use docker volumes to persist any part of container FS. I've been using it to preserve ~/.cache in few of my projects.
