Description

ansible-jenkins is an Ansible role. Use this role to install Jenkins and install/update plugins.

Requirements

Ansible

Everything you should know about Ansible is documented on the Ansible site...

Supported platforms

Debian wheezy

Playbook tested on Debian-7.1.

Ansible >= 1.3

Any Ansible version >= 1.3 should work. If not, please use the issue tracker to report any bugs.

Usage

Get the code

$ git clone [email protected]:ICTO/ansible-jenkins.git

The code should reside in the roles directory of ansible ( See ansible documentation for more information on roles ), in a folder jenkins.

Create a host file

Following example make ansible aware of the Vagrant box reachable on localhost port 2222.

$ vi ansible.host

with

[jenkins]
127.0.0.1 ansible_ssh_port=2222

Create host specific variables

Make the host_vars directory where ansible.host file is located.

$ mkdir host_vars

Create a file in the newly created directory matching your host.

$ cd host_vars
$ vi 127.0.0.1

with

---
plugins:
  - 'ldap'
  - 'github'
  - 'translation'
  - 'preSCMbuildstep'

Run the playbook

First create a playbook including the jenkins role, naming it jenkins.yml.

---
- hosts: jenkins
  roles:
    - jenkins

Use ansible.host as inventory. Run the playbook only for the remote host jenkins. Use vagrant as the SSH user to connect to the remote host. -k enables the SSH password prompt.

$ ansible-playbook -k -i ansible.host jenkins.yml --extra-vars="user=vagrant"
