I have installed Jenkins in a Unix Machine which is behind the proxy server. I have an SVN url which is hosted in Internet. I have enabled all firewall settings and from my server end , I can able to access the SVN url by providing my proxy server details. I have created a Jenkins Job, and installed SVN plugin also. Now i need to pass proxy url to that particular job, so that Jenkins can access the SVN url and checkout the code.
You could set the proxy url in a Global property in Jenkins (like PRIVATE_PROXY_URL) and, in the context of your job, copy the value of that property to the HTTP_PROXY variable or wherever you need it so the SVN plugin will be able to access it.
Another option would be to pass the URL as a Job parameter.

I am trying to create a webhook in BitBucket to trigger a build in Jenkins, but when I enter my Jenkins URL, and I test the connection, I get the error "Unable to connect to the URL specified, check the host and port are correct." I am using the URL http://localhost:8080/bitbucket-hook/ (with the last back slash included) and I can confirm that in Jenkins, my "Jenkins URL" is set to http://localhost:8080/. In Jenkins, I have installed the plugin "BitBucket Server Integration", and under Configure System -> Bitbucket Server Integration, I have connected to the Bitbucket server (and when I test the connection, it says "Jenkins can connect with the Bitbucket Server", so I am pretty sure Jenkins is configured correctly). I don't have credentials set up in Jenkins for the Bitbucket Server configuration, is this necessary even though when I test the connection, it seems to be able to connect? Is my url for the BitBucket webhook correct?? Is there anything else you can think of that I might not have configured correctly so when I test the connection on BitBucket, it will connect properly?
I just ran through a similar setup, to answer to your questions:
yes, I think you will have to use credentials of a user having admin permissions on the repository upon which you want to create the webhook.
Read below, anyway the Webhook URL I got is in the form < jenkins-url >/bitbucket-server-webhook/trigger
The pipeline
According to my experience, the creation of the Webhook is demanded to Jenkins, you don't have to do anything on your own other than creating a new Pipeline object.
Having set the Bitbucket Server Integration configuration up in fact is not enough for the creation of the Webhook, to do that you have to
create a new Pipeline
flag the Build Trigger "Bitbucket Server trigger build after push"
in the Pipeline section, use as Definition "Pipeline Script from SCM" and fill the other fields according to the configuration you have set before.
Point 3 is saying you are retrieving your Pipeline definition from a file stored in Bitbucket itself, you can also customise the name of the file Jenkins is going to look for (by default this should be Jenkinsfile), and use the "Pipeline Syntax" option to get the snippet of code you will use as step in your Jenkinsfile.
Once you have created your Pipeline in Jenkins, the webhook should appear in the right section in your Bitbucket Server repository.
I'd like to configure bitbutcket to trigger a jenkins build.
I've spent some time researching this and all the answers are from a few years ago, and have not found any guides because things seem to have changed since.
What I'm trying to do:
A bitbucket push to a particular branch triggers a build.
What I've got:
Bitbucket web hooks which fires HTTP request to Jenkins on a push to any branch. I've also installed the Bitbucket plugin on Jenkins which adds a check box in the job config Build when a change is pushed to BitBucket. This checkbox doesnt seem to work (maybe I set it up wrong? minimal docs for this), despite me pushing to the configured branch in the SCM section.
Problem 1: Bitbucket does not fire a GET, but another request which causes a 403. I tested with postman, and it works with a GET, but not a POST.
Problem 2: This HTTP build request is fired on pushes to any branch. While the build is still restricted to a particular branch, it seems unnecessary to be rebuilding all the time.
How do i address these issues? Bitbucket does not seem to be very flexible in customizing this. The Jenkins plugin for bitbucket has a lot of 'bad' reviews. How are developers currently doing this?
SPECIFIC solution for Jenkins CI server--Webhook to Jenkins for Bitbucket plugin has been commercialized in latest version of Bit-Bucket and the current price is around $4800 which was earlier a free offering, because of this, guys who want to save their bucks, can go to the alternative solution by using webhooks feature of bit-bucket:-
Steps to create a webhook:-
BitBucket Side
1) Go to your bitbucket repo, click on Repository Setting, under WORKFLOW got for WEBHOOKS option and create a webhook.
a) creation of webhook:- URL https://JenkinsserverURL/git/notifyCommit?url=https://bitbucket.repository-link/repository.git
b) In the name tab, give any name of your choice
c) click on TEST CONNECTION before saving it. Make sure you get http status 200
d) View details your logs, check your request and response is correct.
Things to take care of from
Jenkins Side:-
1) Make sure repository mentioned in bitbucket webhook is used in Jenkins job.
2) In SCM option, activate/select Poll SCM option, don't mention anything in the schedule, leave it blank.
3) configure rest job,
Whenever your git repo observes any change an automatic build will get triggered in Jenkins. By default push trigger is activated and if you want to activate other action, please select those events while creating webhook.
***to specify the branch in repository webhook:-
http://yourserver/git/notifyCommit?url=<URL of the Git repository>[&branches=branch1[,branch2]*][&sha1=<commit ID>]
Cheers,
Is your Jenkins URL accessible from your bitbucket server? If yes that it should be fairly simple to do it. You add the webhook in your repository as http://<url-of-jenkins>/git/notifyCommit?url=<url-of-repository>. When jenkins receives this POST, it automatically triggers builds on those jobs that use this git repo with that URL you give in webhook.
But you also need to make sure your Build Schedule is set to empty for those jobs. otherwise it wont get triggered. You can specify a branch in webhook URL too
See the Push Notification from repository here
https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/Git+Plugin
For anyone here after July 2022, here are the simple steps I followed to make it work.
Create a live Jenkins URL
First, create a tunnel from a live URL to your local Jenkins URL using ngrok because using locahost:8080 directly as your webhook URL on bitbucket will simply not work as bitbucket does not recognize your local computer.
ps: ngrok claims to be the fastest way to put anything on the internet and I agree,
you can use it beyond Jenkins once you know the trick,
such as quickly handling out your localhost react app for testing by your friends
out of your local network
To do this is simple. For Linux:
Install ngrok snap install ngrok
Add authtoken ngrok config add-authtoken <token>
Don't have an auth token, sign up
Start a tunnel on your Jenkins port eg ngrok http 8080
To know more and for other OS, check ngrok download page
You will then get a response like
ngrok (Ctrl+C to quit)
Hello World! https://ngrok.com/next-generation
Session Status online
Account <your email>#<domain>.com (Plan: <plan type>)
Version 3.0.6
Region Europe (eu)
Latency 162ms
Web Interface <web interface url>
Forwarding https://<your-assigned-host>.ngrok.io -> http://localhost:8080
Basically, the web interface URL on click gives you a web interface to inspect all the requests being tunnelled from your ngrok live URL to your local host.
Forwarding URL is basically a proxy to your localhost, so when you want to configure webhook, instead of using locahost:8080, you replace it with ngrok URL eg https://syue-162-34-12-01.eu.ngrok.io and all requests get tunnelled to localhost:8080
Hook up the URL on bitbucket cloud
Secondly, configure your Bitbucket repository with a Webhook, using URL JENKINS_URL/bitbucket-hook/ (no need for credentials but do remember the trailing slash) eg https://syue-162-34-12-01.eu.ngrok.io/bitbucket-hook/
If you are using bitbucket server and not cloud or you want to know more, the bitbucket plugin documentation for Jenkins is pretty straightforward and easily understandable, see bitbucket plugin
then you can inspect all your webhook requests on the web interface URL or via your terminal as well as check your build logs on Jenkins via your localhost port or ngrok live url.
Disclaimer: I have not figured out how to enable build only when a specific branch change but you can configure jenkins to only build a specific branch or any branch created as your need may demand, check Source Code Management and Build Triggers
There are lots of question on here about Permission denied (publickey) errors when using the Jenkins git plugin.
Can someone explain the authentication flow this plugin uses to check out a repository? I can't find a good description on the plugin page.
I want to just SSH into the build slave, checkout the repository there, then run my job, but clearly that is not how it works.
I guess I could add my credentials to the jenkins master, but I dont want any code there. I want it on my build slave.
Issue has nothing to do with git really. As their documentation states, it relies on git runtime which in its turn relies on system environment when it comes to secure connections. Ssh requires client to have valid key to connect and fails to that message if client does not provide one. Without any additional actions, key is not injected into environment, so client could not provide any valid key.
What you actually can use is ssh agent plugin. That allows to add key to ssh-agent on slave that will be catched up by git.
I want to pull file or directory from a remote linux machine to Jenkins machine. Is there any Jenikns plugin available?
I am using one plugin "Publish Over SSH" and I am able to transfer files but not receive. I don't want to write/expose password to scp command line. Please suggest a way.
probably you're looking for this https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Config+File+Provider+Plugin
You may not need to expose the credentials in the script. You can manage those in jenkins and pass them as parameters which can be hidden in log. Refer the links below.

I have Jenkins as the CI server. I have an automated testing tool setup on another machine. I installed Jenkins on the other machine also. Now I want one instance of Jenkins to trigger the project build on the other instance of Jenkins. Is that possible?
You can do this by pinging a build URL. i.e.
http://server-url:{port}/job/{job_name}/build
Easiest is to use the Parameterized Remote Trigger Plugin. Calling the URL directly can be tricky if your build has parameters and / or your Jenkins instance is secured.
