<p>Do you need Server 2008 R2 for running integration tests? I
don't believe there is something specific to build/compile the app,
right?</p></div>Feodor Fitsnertag:help.appveyor.com,2012-11-13:Comment/361015162015-02-20T23:25:49Z2015-02-21T18:00:32ZWindows Server 2008/R2 Update?<div><p>I could be completely misunderstanding how Appveyor works, and
honestly the<br>
last time I looked at it in depth was a few months ago, and was
checking<br>
back in on it. We thought there was a showstopping issue for
deploying to<br>
Server 2008... Currently we are using TeamCity and the free version
of<br>
Octopus Deploy. All we need is build, run unit tests, and deploy to
remote<br>
2008 servers. Integration tests might be nice some day, but maybe
we will<br>
be on 2012 by the time that is possible for us :)</p>

currently for Windows Server 2012 and above. However, some people
did manage to run it on Windows Server 2008 R2. It <em>seems to be
working</em> there while using ServerSideEvents to communicate with
AppVeyor instead of Web Sockets as on Windows Server 2012. You may
give it another try.</p>
<p>And of course you should be perfectly fine with Octopus. You can
either push NuGet packages to their feed or pull from AppVeyor's
one.</p>
<p>Web Deploy is also an option though it requires a port on
firewall.</p></div>Feodor Fitsner
