Attributes

Common Attributes

  • node['jenkins']['mirror'] - Base URL for downloading all code (WAR file and plugins).
  • node['jenkins']['java_home'] - Java install path, used for for cli commands.
  • node['jenkins']['iptables_allow'] - If iptables is enabled, add a rule passing node['jenkins']['server']['port'].

Master/Server related Attributes

  • node['jenkins']['server']['jvm_options'] - Additional tuning parameters to pass the underlying JVM process.
  • node['jenkins']['http_proxy']['variant'] - use nginx or apache2 to proxy traffic to jenkins backend (nginx by default)

Windows Node/Slave related Attributes

  • node['jenkins']['node']['winsw_url'] - The url for the winsw exe to download.

Recipes

server

Creates all required directories, installs Jenkins and generates an ssh private key and stores the ssh public key in the node['jenkins']['server']['pubkey'] attribute for use by the node recipes. The installation method is controlled by the node['jenkins']['server']['install_method'] attribute. The following install methods are supported:

  • package - Installs Jenkins from the official jenkins-ci.org packages.
  • war - Downloads the latest version of the Jenkins WAR file from http://jenkins-ci. The server process is configured to run as a runit service.

node

The type of agent that is used to communicate with the slave is determined by the attribute node['jenkins']['node']['agent_type']. The following agent types are supported:

  • ssh - Creates the user and group for the Jenkins slave to run as and sets .ssh/authorized_keys to the node['jenkins']['server']['pubkey'] attribute. The jenkins-cli.jar is downloaded from the Jenkins server and used to manage the nodes via the groovy cli command. Jenkins is configured to launch a slave agent on the node using it's SSH slave plugin.
  • jnlp - Creates the user and group for the Jenkins slave to run as and /jnlpJars/slave.jar is downloaded from the Jenkins server. The slave process is configured to run as a runit service.
  • windows - Creates the home directory for the node slave and sets JENKINS_HOME and JENKINS_URL system environment variables. The winsw Windows service wrapper will be downloaded and installed, along with generating jenkins-slave.xml from a template. Jenkins is configured with the node as a jnlp slave and /jnlpJars/slave.jar is downloaded from the Jenkins server. The jenkinsslave service will be started the first time the recipe is run or if the service is not running. The 'jenkinsslave' service will be restarted if /jnlpJars/slave.jar has changed. The end results is functionally the same had you chosen the option to Let Jenkins control this slave as a Windows service.

proxy

Installs a proxy and creates a vhost to route traffic to the installed Jenkins server. The type of HTTP proxy that is installed and configured is determined by the node['jenkins']['http_proxy']['variant'] attribute. The following HTTP proxy variants are supported:

  • apache2
  • nginx

Resource/Provider

jenkins_cli

This resource can be used to execute the Jenkins cli from your recipes. For example, install plugins via update center and restart Jenkins:

%w(git URLSCM build-publisher).each do |plugin|
  jenkins_cli "install-plugin #{plugin}"
  jenkins_cli "safe-restart"
end

jenkins_node

This resource can be used to configure nodes as the node_ssh and node_windows recipes do or "Launch slave via execution of command on the Master":

jenkins_node node['fqdn'] do
  description  'My node for things, stuff and whatnot'
  executors    5
  remote_fs    '/var/jenkins'
  launcher     'command'
  command      "ssh -i my_key #{node[:fqdn]} java -jar #{remote_fs}/slave.jar"
  env          'ANT_HOME' => '/usr/local/ant', 'M2_REPO' => '/dev/null'
end

jenkins_job

This resource manages jenkins jobs, supporting the following actions:

:create, :update, :delete, :build, :disable, :enable

The :create and :update actions require a jenkins job config.xml. Example:

git_branch = 'master'
job_name = "sigar-#{branch}-#{node[:os]}-#{node[:kernel][:machine]}"

job_config = File.join(node[:jenkins][:node][:home], "#{job_name}-config.xml")

jenkins_job job_name do
  action :nothing
  config job_config
end

template job_config do
  source    'sigar-jenkins-config.xml'
  variables :job_name => job_name, :branch => git_branch, :node => node[:fqdn]
  notifies  :update, resources(:jenkins_job => job_name), :immediately
  notifies  :build, resources(:jenkins_job => job_name), :immediately
end

jenkins_plugin

This resource can be used to install and remove Jenkins plugins directly (e.g. bypassing the update center). It supports the following actions:

:install, :remove

Example:

jenkins_plugin 'greenballs'

jenkins_plugin 'ant' do
  action :install
  version '1.2'
end

jenkins_plugin 'custom_plugin' do
  version '0.3'
  url 'http://myrepo/jenkins/plugins/0.3/custom_plugin.hpi'
end

jenkins_plugin 'envinject' do
  action :remove
end

Jenkins Node Authentication

If your Jenkins instance requires authentication, you'll either need to embed user:pass in node['jenkins']['server']['url'] or issue a jenkins-cli.jar login command prior to using the jenkins::node_* recipes. For example, define a role like so:

name 'jenkins_ssh_node'
description 'cli login & register ssh slave with Jenkins'
run_list([
  'mycompany-jenkins::jenkins_login',
  'jenkins::node_ssh'

Where the jenkins_login recipe is simply:

jenkins_cli "login --username #{node['jenkins']['username']} --password #{node['jenkins']['password']}"

Development

This section details "quick development" steps. For a detailed explanation, see [[Contributing.md]].

  1. Clone this repository from GitHub:

     $ git clone [email protected]:opscode-cookbooks/jenkins.git
    
  2. Create a git branch

     $ git checkout -b my_bug_fix
    
  3. Install dependencies:

     $ bundle install
    
  4. Make your changes/patches/fixes, committing appropiately

  5. Write tests

  6. Run the tests:

    • bundle exec foodcritic -f any .
    • bundle exec rspec
    • bundle exec rubocop
    • bundle exec kitchen test

In detail: - Foodcritic will catch any Chef-specific style errors - RSpec will run the unit tests - Rubocop will check for Ruby-specific style errors - Test Kitchen will run and converge the recipes
