We're trying to setup Jenkins, but we are having a couple issues.
We have a "Jenkins Server" (Master) and have connected it to Fisheye. Jenkins is able to get the Git repo and run the tests.
Is there some kind of built in process for Jenkins to give it capabilites to SSH into a server and run commands like "git pull origin master" ?
Yes there is ssh capabilities in Jenkins. You can add a build step for either running SSH or sending files over SSH (you have to define target server in config). Theres also a post build plugin for sending artifacts over ssh which can be used to also execute remote commands.
I'd recommend a book by John Smart which covers Jenkins setup. Its at http://www.wakaleo.com/books/jenkins-the-definitive-guide
I think you want the SSH Plugin for Jenkins. This will let you define SSH servers in your global configuration, and then define commands to be run before and after the build.

I want to set in Jenkins jobs triggering Build after each commit
I dont have access to Setting in my repository on Github, so I don't have possibility using WebHook.
What is the best/.easy way to set this in other way?
I have jobs for private repository Github, and clone project by SSH
I also using Github Oauth Token
Jenkins Continuous Integration Server is on running on a Ubuntu host
You can use local git hook pre-push. It runs after you issue the "git push" command. (but executes before pushing)
See example: pre-push hook
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 using digital ocean droplet.My scenarios is: I have Jenkins installed on my one server, in which I have configured the job.I want to run that job on to another server.How to achieve that?(How my Jenkins will able to ssh to another server)
If you want to execute a single command on another server - use ssh to invoke command as a build step.
If you want to run a complex job - you should configure target server as a slave and point your job to run on a specific node(slave).
Configuring slave is pretty easy, take a look at the following articles
https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/Distributed+builds

How to automate Jenkins for Docker Swarm deployment.
I am wondering if there are any plugins available in Jenkins which will help in Docker Swarm deployment or any other alternative way through which we can achieve the automation of Swarm deployment using Jenkins existing plugins?
Fixed this problem by using a plugin called Publish over SSH
Need to install a Jenkins plugins “Publish over SSH”, this plugin will allows us to
Sends files over SSH(SFTP)
Execute commands on a remote server
First step will be to add remote hosts and second will be to add an execution/build step where the commands will be executed
Follow this link for step by step instruction
I want to configure Jenkins to build my code on 1 server. Then want to deploy it on another server using Jenkins.Both servers are using Linux I want to automate the entire process as much as possible. I went through some of plugins like pipeline, Job Import Plugin, etc
Can anyone guide me how to go about it ? Which plugins will be useful ? Any example or tutorial somewhere will be useful. The configuration of build pipeline plugin on jenkins was not seamless for me.
Thanks,
Bhargav
I would work it this way :
Install jenkins on your first server
Install the following plugins : ssh credentials, ssh slaves, copy to
slave, and restart jenkins
Go to Manage jenkins -> Manage credentials, and add ssh credentials
for your second server
Go to Manage jenkins -> Manage nodes, and create a passive slave.
The launch method should be "Launch slave agents on Unix machines
via ssh". You should use the credentials that you have added in step
3
Create a job to build your code. In the advanded options of job, you
should indicate that the job must only be built on master node.
Create a job to deploy your code on the second server. In the
avanded options of job, you should indicate that the job must only
be built on slave node.
In the "Build Environment" section, check the "Copy files into workspace before building" box and configure what files you want to copy from first server (https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Copy+To+Slave+Plugin)
The code will be copied into the jenkins slave's workspace.
