Public build status query

[Joel Bodenmann]

Hello folks,

Coming from Jenkins I am used to the embeddable build status which exposes the build status embleme to the public. Looks like this.

I would like to know what the GoCD way of doing this is.

I'd like to write a plugin for this to make it as easy as possible setting this up. My questions:

• Are there already mechanisms in place to facilitate this kind of feature? Is the notification plugin interface suitable for this?
• Should I rather have a task plugin (Aravind is gonna hate me for that ^^) which creates the build status embleme and pushes it via SFTP to a webserver?
• Making the build (embeddable) build status available to the public would require a webserver. Can GoCD's built-in webserver be abused for this? Is it recommended? If not, why?
  

Thank you for your inputs!

Regards,

~ Joel

If it helps, I tried doing this a few years back. May be these might serve as a basis for what you want to achieve

Some practical problems are that GoCD installations are generally not exposed to public and I was using GitHub at that time and their cache system wouldn't pick up the image for Readme. That's why the build server that collects this and renders the image. If I were to do it today and everything is inside a corp network, I would run an embedded server inside the plugin and see if we could expose the images from that instead. To avoid additional infrastructure.

I forgot to add that I'm not using any of it now in production. Having said that, I would be happy to collaborate on this if interested.
