Access to buildbots VM

[Igor Korot]

Hi,
Is there a way to get access to the buildbot VMs?
If not - where can I download it from?

Thank you.

We don't use buildbot since many years. If you mean GitHub VMs, then no, I
didn't find any way to get exactly the images they use. You can use
https://github.com/nektos/act for Linux builds.

Yes, sorry.
I should have been more explicit.

Is there a way to gin to them and debug my failures.
I am getting issues on MSVC, Cygwin and *nix right now.

Oe maybe there is a way to download them and try it here locally?
I tested it and it works correctly on the MSVC and GTK.
Don't have Cygwin installed - but maybe I should.

Thank you.

With appveyor (which should be good for Cygwin and MSVC, failures) you can get (temporary) remote desktop accesss to the build VMs,

as described in the documentation here:

https://www.appveyor.com/docs/how-to/rdp-to-build-worker/

I'm not sure if something similar exists for the github linux containers (at least I think they are containers and not VMs).
