Installation

Guide from Teamcity's documentation:

• Shutdown TeamCity server
• Copy the zip archive with the plugin into /plugins directory (usually ~/.BuildServer/plugins)
• Start TeamCity server: the plugin files will be unpacked and processed automatically.

Configuration

Administrators can configure plugin a little bit. Configuration is located in admin area in Integrations sub section.

• Enable automatic supplying - if set, then plugin will try to get avatars from enabled suppliers, which do not request configuration. For example, Gravatar, Jira and Tumblr are such suppliers. If user have already selected supplier and it provision some picture, then it will be used. In other case, plugin will try each individual avatar supplier and first successfull will be used.
• Each supplier can be enabled or disabled. Disabled suppliers are supplied automatically and disabled in user profile. Also administrator can drag'n'drop suppliers to change priority of automatic supplying.

Only Jira avatar supplier have to be configured individually. Jira doesn't provide anonymous access to it's API, so administrator have to provide credentials for it. Config file is located in standard configuration folder on server (usually, ~/.BuildServer/config/) and named teamcity-avatar.properties. Here is example of it's configuration:

jira.server.url=http://localhost:2990/jira
jira.username=admin
jira.password=admin
