I have a build jar in Jenkins .I need to deploy the jar into windows VM Machine..I have tried lot of options but i couldn't achieve. Kindly suggest me .. Guidance much appreciate.
I assume that your have an Spring boot executable jar. I'm also assuming that you have jar file located in central repo such as Nexus or Artifactory.
In this case, create a write declarative or scripted pipeline. In one of the build steps execute a batch file with the command below.
java -jar <YourJarFile>.jar
Also make sure the installed java version classpath is set.
I have now searched the Internet for 2 whole days without any progress. There might be so, that the answer is just a click away, but I cannot find it. I'm blinded. I work on Windows 10 by the way...
The problem is that I want to create a simple Dockerfile, that can create a Docker image with a Jenkins master with everything I want it to contain. For instance:
general Jenkins configuration
users
plugins
jobs
slaves
etc...
Now I at least some parts working... I'm able to get rid of the initial "hello welcome to jenkins"-thing, and define my first user + install plugins that i wrote down in a text file.
BUT when it comes to the freakin jenkins jobs it seems to get a bit more complicated.
Since my Dockerfile takes a "base image" from jenkins/jenkins:lts-alpine, it creates a volume for /var/jenkins_home/ which seems to be where the jobs are stored at. And it seems to be a bit problematic to copy files to this folder. I tried add a COPY instruction in my Dockerfile to copy folder & files that are created when I manually create a job in Jenkins, but it seems like Jenkins does not read them for some reason, even after restarting/reloading from disk. The thing is, it is actually working when copying the jobs after "installation". Like docker cp jobs-on-my-machine container:/var/jenkins_home/jobs, but I dont want a lot of extra stuff outside my Dockerfile. I want to keep it as simple as possible. With this solution I will most likely not even be able to commit this change since the docker diff show this output:
C:\Dev>docker diff 3
C /tmp
A /tmp/hsperfdata_jenkins
A /tmp/hsperfdata_jenkins/6
A /tmp/jetty-0.0.0.0-8080-war-_-any-6459623464825334329.dir
A /tmp/jna--1712433994
A /tmp/winstone4948624124562796293.jar
you see... Nothing have changed in /var/jenkins_home/jobs/ directory... Nothing trackable at all :(
Take a look at my Dockerfile content below:
# Pull the latest Jenkins docker image from Docker Hub.
# Currently Alpine is used because the Internet says its safer :)
from jenkins/jenkins:lts-alpine
# Disable Jenkins setup wizard normally showing up during initial startup
ENV JAVA_OPTS="-Djenkins.install.runSetupWizard=false"
# Copy the groovy script creating the first user into the
# run-on-startup-directory into the docker image
COPY **security.groovy** /usr/share/jenkins/ref/init.groovy.d/security.groovy
# Copy the plugins text file into the docker image
COPY plugins.txt /usr/share/jenkins/ref/plugins.txt
# Run the Jenkins default install-plugins script to install
# plugins defined in the plugins text file
RUN /usr/local/bin/install-plugins.sh < /usr/share/jenkins/ref/plugins.txt
# Add the predefined Jenkins jobs _inside_ folder 'jenkins-jobs' into Jenkins
COPY jenkins-jobs /var/jenkins_home/jobs/
security.groovy content:
#!groovy
import jenkins.model.*
import hudson.security.*
import jenkins.security.s2m.AdminWhitelistRule
def instance = Jenkins.getInstance()
def hudsonRealm = new HudsonPrivateSecurityRealm(false)
hudsonRealm.createAccount("admin", "admin")
instance.setSecurityRealm(hudsonRealm)
def strategy = new FullControlOnceLoggedInAuthorizationStrategy()
instance.setAuthorizationStrategy(strategy)
instance.save()
Jenkins.instance.getInjector().getInstance(AdminWhitelistRule.class).setMasterKillSwitch(false)

In case someone else find this question:
From the GitHub - jenkinsci/docker:
In such a derived image, you can customize your jenkins instance with hook scripts or additional plugins. For this purpose, use /usr/share/jenkins/ref as a place to define the default JENKINS_HOME content you wish the target installation to look like :
When jenkins container starts, it will check JENKINS_HOME has this reference content, and copy them there if required. It will not override such files, so if you upgraded some plugins from UI they won't be reverted on next start.
In case you do want to override, append '.override' to the name of the reference file. E.g. a file named /usr/share/jenkins/ref/config.xml.override will overwrite an existing config.xml file in JENKINS_HOME.
What I've done myself and the thing that is working for me is: copy the jobs directory found on your Jenkins instance to where you are able to run docker build. Place the jobs directory from the Jenkins instance in to another directory e.g jobs_jenkins. Meaning your will have $PWD/jobs_jenkins/jobs
Add the following line in your Dockerfile:
...
FROM jenkins/jenkins:lts-alpine
COPY jobs_jenkins /usr/share/jenkins/ref/
...
From my understanding I think the jenkins image itself run a "startup-script" utilizing /usr/share/jenkins/ref, and the stuff copied directly to /var/jenkins_home will not be present...
For more information read the README.md. (From the GitHub - jenkinsci/docker)
I have a jenkins server running, and for a job I need to download a file which is in the jobs/builds/buildname folder.
How to download that file from jenkins job?
If you would use the workspace as suggested by previous post, you can access it within a Pipeline:
sh "wget http://<servername:port>/job/<jobname>/ws/index.txt"
Or inside a script:
wget http://<servername:port>/job/<jobname>/ws/index.txt
Where index.txt is the file you want to download.
I rock a Unix based development machine and a Unix based Jenkins machine up in the cloud. This means I can use the SCP Command to download the remote file over an ssh connection. This is the anatomy of my scp commands:
scp -i <path/to/ssh.pem/file> <user>#<jenkins.remote.url>:<path/to/remote/file> <local/path/where/download/goes>
This works for directories too, for instance I use this to download backups generated by the ThinBackup Plugin
You had already been given the answer for getting the file from the workspace
http://<servername:port>/job/<jobname>/ws/filename.ext
Obviously replace stuff in <..> with values relevant to your setup, and make sure anonymous user has access to read from workspace, else you may have to login.
The only other files you could access are those that are archived from previous job runs.
http://<servername:port>/job/<jobname>/<buildnumber>/artifact/filename.ext
Where <buildnumber> is the build number you see in job build history, or one of the permalinks provided by Eldad (such as lastStableBuild). But this will only have access to archived artifacts.
You cannot arbitrarily access files from Jenkin's filesystem through the web interface... it wouldn't be very secure if it did let you.
The Jenkins job's build folder is meant for logging and plugins reports. You should not need to access it directly.
If you must, you can access it relative to the workspace: $WORKSPACE/../builds/$BUILD_ID/
You can also replace the $BUILD_ID with one of the links Jenkins creates:
lastFailedBuild
lastStableBuild
lastSuccessfulBuild
lastUnstableBuild
lastUnsuccessfulBuild
I hope this helps.
As others have pointed out this path should work, I like to highlight that the "ws" is a directory in Jenkins:
http://<servername:port>/job/<your job>/ws/<your file>
Download the Package lynx (Command line browser)
$ apt-get install lynx
or
$ yum install lynx
then use the command
# lynx http://<servername:port>/job/<jobname>/ws/file
The App Will Ask you to allow cookies and if there are authentication will direct you to login page like the browser.
Installing a plugin from the Update center results in:
Checking internet connectivity Failed to connect to
http://www.google.com/. Perhaps you need to configure HTTP proxy? Deploy Plugin Failure - Details hudson.util.IOException2: Failed to download from
http://updates.jenkins-ci.org/download/plugins/deploy/1.9/deploy.hpi
Is it possible to download the plugin and install it manually into Jenkins?
Yes, you can. Download the plugin (*.hpi file) and put it in the following directory:
<jenkinsHome>/plugins/
Afterwards you will need to restart Jenkins.
Download the plugin.
Inside Jenkins: Manage Jenkins → Manage Plugins → There is a tab called Advanced and on that page there is an option to upload a plugin (the extension of the file must be hpi).
Sometimes, when you download plugins you may get (.zip) files then just rename with (.hpi) and use the UI to install the plugin.
If you use Docker, you should read this file: https://github.com/cloudbees/jenkins-ci.org-docker/blob/master/plugins.sh
Example of a parent Dockerfile:
FROM jenkins
COPY plugins.txt /plugins.txt
RUN /usr/local/bin/plugins.sh /plugins.txt
plugins.txt
<name>:<version>
<name2>:<version2>
I have created a simple script that does the following:
Download one or more plugins to the plugin directory
Scan all plugins in that directory for missing dependencies
download this dependencies as well
loop until no open dependencies are left
The script requires no running jenkins - I use it to provision a docker box.
https://gist.github.com/micw/e80d739c6099078ce0f3
Sometimes when you download plugins you may get (.zip) files then just rename with (.hpi) and then extract all the plugins and move to <jenkinsHome>/plugins/ directory.
Update for Docker: use the install-plugins.sh script. It takes a list of plugin names minus the '-plugin' extension. See the description here.
install-plugins.sh replaces the deprecated plugins.sh which now warns :
WARN: plugins.sh is deprecated, please switch to install-plugins.sh
To use a plugins.txt as per plugins.sh see this issue and this workaround:
RUN /usr/local/bin/install-plugins.sh $(cat /usr/share/jenkins/plugins.txt | tr '\n' ' ')
Use https://updates.jenkins-ci.org/download/plugins/. Download it from this central update repository for Jenkins.
The accepted answer is accurate, but make sure that you also install all necessary dependencies as well. Installing using the CLI or web seems to take care of this, but my plugins were not showing up in the browser or using java -jar jenkins-cli.jar -s http://localhost:8080 list-plugins until I also installed the dependencies.
The answers given work, with added plugins.
If you want to replace/update a built-in plugin like the credentials plugin, that has dependencies, then you have to use the frontend. To automate I use:
curl -i -F file=#pluginfilename.hpi http://jenkinshost/jenkins/pluginManager/uploadPlugin
In my case, I needed to install a plugin to an offline build server that's running a Windows Server (version won't matter here). I already installed Jenkins on my laptop to test out changes in advance and it is running on localhost:8080 as a windows service.
So if you are willing to take the time to setup Jenkins on a machine with Internet connection and carry these changes to the offline server Jenkins (it works, confirmed by me!), these are steps you could follow:
Jenkins on my laptop: Open up Jenkins, http://localhost:8080
Navigator: Manage Jenkins | Download plugin without install option
Windows Explorer: Copy the downloaded plugin file that is located at "c:\program files (x86)\Jenkins\plugins" folder (i.e. role-strategy.jpi)
Paste it into a shared folder in the offline server
Stop the Jenkins Service (Offline Server Jenkins) through Component Services, Jenkins Service
Copy the plugin file (i.e. role-strategy.jpi) into "c:\program files (x86)\Jenkins\plugins" folder on the (Offline Jenkins) server
Restart Jenkins and voila! It should be installed.
This is a way to copy plugins from one Jenkins box to another.
Copy over the plugins directory:
scp -r jenkins-box.url.com:/var/lib/jenkins/plugins .
Compress the plugins:
tar cvfJ plugins.tar.xz plugins
Copy them over to the other Jenkins box:
scp plugins.tar.xz different-jenkins-box.url.com
ssh different-jenkins-box.url.com "tar xvfJ plugins.tar.xz -C /var/lib/jenkins"
Restart Jenkins.
use this link to download the lastest version of the plugins' hpi. https://updates.jenkins-ci.org/download/plugins/
Then upload the plugin through 'manage plugin' in Jenkins
To install plugin "git" with all its dependencies:
curl -XPOST http://localhost:8080/pluginManager/installNecessaryPlugins -d '<install plugin="git#current" />'
Here, the plugin installed is git ; the version, specified as #current is ignored by Jenkins. Jenkins is running on localhost port 8080, change this as needed. As far as I know, this is the simplest way to install a plugin with all its dependencies 'by hand'. Tested on Jenkins v1.644
RUN /usr/local/bin/install-plugins.sh amazon-ecs:1.37 configuration-as-code:1.47 workflow-aggregator:2.6 \
cloudbees-folder:6.15 antisamy-markup-formatter:2.1 build-timeout:1.20 credentials-binding:1.24
Cat out the plugins.txt and install in Dockerfile as above.
I have an use case where I need to download selected jar files from nexus repository to a Jenkins job workspace and run a program over the downloaded jar files. (I Want to use the .class files in the jars)
Is there any Jenkins plugin available for this?
Add a build-step in the job, prior to the one doing the actual work
and use a copy (or ftp) command to get the files.
You could try the groovy plugin and embed a script within your Jenkins job
