I want to checkout repository into remote server, not into the slave/master which executes the job. Is it possible ?
You can only use pipeline steps on agents, so machines that don't have an agent installed will have to be dealt with using external tools. Alternatively, you can choose a mixed approach if it fits you: use the checkout step on a Jenkins node, then move the code to another server using a shell/batch command.

I've setup and connected a Jenkins (2.249) server to my GitHub account, so it has access to my repos and I've setup the GitHub webhook.
But I am having problems trying to understand how to create a multibranch pipeline job to detect when a push to my master branch happens and then I want to run SSH commands on another host to update a web server with the new code changes.
With Jenkins pipelines, I can't see how to detect when a push to master happens and then trigger the build? Is this possible with Jenkins? I have Blue Ocean installed as well.
Multi-branch Pipeline jobs periodically check the server for updates. It sets an environment variable BRANCH_NAME with the current branch during execution.
If you only care about the master branch, you should use a regular Pipeline job that only watches master.
See the docs
I need to setup a build configuration in Jenkins so that whenever a build is triggered, I get my latest scripts from Gitlab and copy them to the target systems and run that script on the target.
I couldn't find any relevant info for integrating Gitlab to Jenkins. Are there any specific plugins that I could use?
I am using Jenkins version 2.158
Step by Step procedure for doing what you are looking for:
Add the location of the Script from GitLAB. (E.g.)
Run the script over the target machine.
While Building the job, you will get the code at the root (./) of the job's workspace. Copying and running the script over the target machine can be done by remote script executions. following are the cases we having in running script in the remote machine
Windows (jenkins) to windows - use psexec.exe
Windows (Jenkins) to linux - use plink.exe which is command line putty
Linux (Jenkins) to linux - use SCP and SSH
Linux to Windows - use ansible for windows.
E.g,.
$ scp script.sh remote_username#10.10.0.2:/remote/directory
$ ssh -t remote_username#10.10.0.2 /remote/directory/script.sh
All the best.
Integration between Git Repository Management (github, gitlab,bitbucket, etc) and Jenkins has the following steps :
Developer push some source code (java, php, nodejs, etc) to the Git Repository Management.
The Git Repository Management detects this event and notify to some public http endpoint in your Jenkins. Currently webhook is the most recommended way to implement this notification.
Jenkins receive the http post request(from bitbucket for example) and using some plugin or configurations , Jenkins try to determine or get the basic devops parameters like : branch name, commit author, commit message, technology, etc
Whit the extracted devops parameters, Jenkins launchs a preconfigured job. This job use the previously extracted values to build, compile, zip, install or to do whatever is necessary to startup your application.
If you want to implement this flow, check this post:

Also, if you need. I will gladly to show you a basic integration using some git repository management and jenkins . Just contact me.
I am trying to implement CI/CD pipeline for my microservice oriented project by using Kubernetes and Jenkins. I am using my code repository on my on-premise server. I created one SVN repository on my server.
I am interested to know, can I use my private SVN code repository with Jenkins?
The reason for my doubt is because every example is showing the creation of pipeline with Jenkins and GitHub project.
You can use the shell command in your pipeline. So you are free to use SVN with Jenkins:

Some info there:
Run bash command on jenkins pipeline
I am having Jenkins in one server and my build server is different. How to point build server in Jenkins pipeline so that my application will build in build server
Using grade and java.
Do we need to use node('Build 1') inside stage?
Suggest me some sample code please.
In Jenkins, your build server called slave machine or Jenkins nodes, which you need
Firstly add this "buildserver" into Jenkins nodes in advance, then you will get node name (or label them like ubuntu-buildserver), see one jenkins distributed build blog
Secondly in scripted pipeline you specify/reference this name in node
node("ubuntu-buildserver")
If you use declarative pipeline, check syntax#agent part.
It is similar for other global configuration like credentialsId, you need define those parameters in jenkins and refer to use them in your pipeline script.
I'm running Jenkins on one server and want to use chef and automatically install a snapshot (including runtime artifacts etc) on a separate server.
Currently Jenkins will use ssh to invoke chef on the seperate machine. Is there a better way?
Maven is also involved in this.
I've found that majority of "Deploy" type plugins are lacking in customization. We use "Execute" (bash or batch) build steps to trigger deployment scripts on remote machines (written in house, be they Puppet, Chef, or plain bash/batch).
The correlation between builds and deployments is achieved through "Promotions" and explained in detail here:
How to promote a specific build number from another job in Jenkins?
