Pluto Build Server	General-purpose Windows build VM on Jupiter — for any EXE needing native Windows compilation (utilities, Howard's tools, GuruRMM agent, etc.)	reference

Pluto is a Windows Server VM on Jupiter. It is the general-purpose Windows build machine for any project needing a native Windows executable — not just GuruRMM.

Hostname: PLUTO (VM on Jupiter)
Static IP: 172.16.3.36 (confirmed static 2026-04-19)
SSH: ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_ed25519 Administrator@172.16.3.36 (key auth)
Authorized key: ssh-ed25519 AAAAC3NzaC1lZDI1NTE5AAAAINXR2BOcFAlOPuB7OYOKfOZDNd3u1tCt/IINRH9beFyB guru@DESKTOP-0O8A1RL

Installed Toolchain

Rust: stable-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc (rustup at C:\Users\Administrator\.cargo\bin)
VS Build Tools: Installed with Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.VCTools (MSVC linker, CRT, Windows SDK)
Git: v2.47.1.windows.2
OpenSSH: Win32-OpenSSH, sshd set to Automatic startup

Use Cases

Use Pluto when you need a native Windows MSVC build — produces proper .exe files with no MinGW runtime dependency. Examples:

Utilities (internal tooling, one-off scripts compiled to EXE)
Howard's tech tools (MasterBooter, Slint GUI apps, etc.)
GuruRMM agent MSVC builds (when MSVC target is preferred over the automated MinGW build on the Linux server)
Anything using Windows-only APIs or needing code signing via signtool

Note: Routine GuruRMM agent builds are automated on the Linux server (172.16.3.30) via MinGW + jsign. Use Pluto for MSVC-specific builds or one-off tooling.

Directory Layout

C:\builds\ — general project builds (create a subdirectory per project)
C:\gururmm\ — GuruRMM repo clone

Typical Build Workflow

# 1. SSH in
ssh -i ~/.ssh/id_ed25519 Administrator@172.16.3.36

# 2. Clone or pull project
git clone https://azcomputerguru:<token>@git.azcomputerguru.com/azcomputerguru/<repo>.git C:\builds\<project>

# 3. Build
cd C:\builds\<project>
cargo build --release

# 4. SCP output back
# From workstation:
scp -i ~/.ssh/id_ed25519 Administrator@172.16.3.36:"C:/builds/<project>/target/release/<name>.exe" ./

Not Neptune

Neptune is a separate existing server (email/web hosting). Pluto is only for builds.
