I am running functional automation test with github and jenkins. I used to schedule jenkins job with 'Build with parameter' option. So with this option, I can run the jenkins pipeline at specific time with cron pattern.
But I want to schedule the job without jenkins UI, from github repository. How can I do it?
Please please help me!
In my github repo, I have jenkinsfile and YAML file.
Can I schedule it from there? Is there any way?
Or will I need to create any new file to schedule/trigger/run the jenkins pipeline at specific time?
I need to create a set of pipelines every month for the new version.
I want to set up a job that will create the Jenkins jobs with Jenkinsfile from the repo
It has to either trigger or run automatically and create a job w.r.t Jenkins file in a folder or workspace.
so that I don't have to access the server whenever I need to run a job
This way I can create the jobs of the new version and patches jobs.
Also, new views if needed. Dashboard I can manage but creating the number of similar jobs with a similar format is waste of time and resources, is there a way to automate it?
I have a Jenkins pipeline for APIC(API Connect), which downloads the code from git hub, validates the code, deploys the code on API Manager(present on Cloud Pak), tests it using Soap UI and finally stores the test report on Nexus.
I now have to containerize this entire pipeline, so that it could be put on any server or any machine and can be started as a self sufficient service.
I understand that I would need to use docker for this, push the images for the tools used and then have some sort of interconnection between the images.
Please help me if my understanding is correct and what should be the approach that I should follow. Any reference links are appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
You can make use of Jenkins DSL Plugin to create a seed job of your pipeline and then, you can make use of Docker container as build slaves for Jenkins.
So, whenever you run the seed job, the child jobs will run on the docker container slaves.
You can refer to this stackoverflow post or Jobs as Code with Groovy DSL to learn more about Jenkins Job DSL.
I am trying to understand how to best deploy an instance of Jenkins, complete with plugins, users and jobs using Chef. I am currently using the Chef Jenkins Supermarket cookbook.
I am attempting to achieve automated deployment of our Pipelines as part of the project. From what I have gathered, the best way to go about this is to have Chef configure a seed job in Jenkins initial setup and configuration.
The seed job should specify, among other things, the git repository from which to find and use a Jenkinsfile for a given job. I've found this resource by Daniel Spilker to be helpful in explaining seed jobs.
So the seed Jenkins job would be run, which would then generate the Jenkins job we have just scripted with it (in this case the seed job would be to pull the Jenkinsfile from source control and configure a new Jenkins job (our pipeline), with the details of the Jenkinsfile).
Am I understanding this correctly as the proper way to not only automate Jenkins job configuration, but also as the proper way to always have an up to date job configuration for any given job in the event the job configuration were to change?
If we used a seed job to setup our pipeline, what are some possible solutions to having the initial seed job run automatically once Jenkins is fully configured by Chef?
As for job configuration changes that may occur over time, would we need to setup the seed job to poll source control for any changes in the Jenkinsfile periodically in the event the Jenkinsfile has been modified? (It may be helpful to note that we are currently using BitBucket for source control).
Just getting started with pipeline as code. Thanks to everybody in advance for their patience and guidance.
I've mentioned this a bit in your other questions, but the least painful approach is to treat Jenkins as a database, not a web service. Have Chef do the basic install, but then configure the initial bits by hand. For DR, rely on your backups rather than Chef.
I want to create a Jenkins job that starts other Jenkins jobs. That would be quite easy, because Jenkins Template Project Plugin allows us to create a build step of a type "use builders from another project". However, what makes my situation harder is that I have to start Jenkins jobs on other machines. Is there any standard way to do that?
In case you want only to trigger new build of Job You Have plenty of ways to accomplish it
you can use remote access API and Trigger a request to build target job from source Job.
https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Remote+access+API
Or you can use https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Parameterized+Remote+Trigger+Plugin
which is handy in handling server details and other stuff. you shoukld ensure ssh keys shared by both servers.
