Learning Continuous Integration with Jenkins

Installing Jenkins

This chapter is all about installing Jenkins across various platforms, and more. After completing this chapter, you should be able to do the following:

  • Run Jenkins on a servlet container (Apache Tomcat)
  • Run Jenkins as a standalone application on Windows/Ubuntu/Red Hat Linux/Fedora
  • Run Jenkins behind a reverse proxy server (Nginx)
  • Run Jenkins with Docker
  • Leverage the advantages of Docker data volumes
  • Run development, staging, and production instance of Jenkins using Docker

Running Jenkins inside a servlet container

Jenkins is available on the following servlet containers:

  • Apache Geronimo 3.0
  • GlassFish
  • IBM WebSphere
  • JBoss
  • Jetty
  • Jonas
  • Liberty profile
  • Tomcat
  • WebLogic

In this section, you will learn how to install Jenkins on an Apache Tomcat server. Installing Jenkins as a service on Apache Tomcat is quite simple. Either you can choose to run Jenkins along with the other services already present on the Apache Tomcat server, or you can use the Apache Tomcat server solely for running Jenkins.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have the following things ready:

  • You need a system with at least 4 GB of memory and a Multi-core processor.
  • Depending on how you manage the infrastructure in your...

Installing a standalone Jenkins server on Windows

Installing Jenkins on Windows is quite simple. Before performing the steps to install Jenkins on Windows, let's have a look at the prerequisites.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure you have the following things ready:

  • We need a machine with at least 4 GB of RAM and a Multi-core processor.
  • Depending on how you manage the infrastructure in your team, the machine could be an instance on a cloud platform (such as AWS, DigitalOcean, or any other cloud platform), a bare metal machine, or it could be a VM (on VMware vSphere or any other server virtualization software).
  • The machine should have any one of the latest Windows OS (Windows 7/8/10, Windows Server 2012/2012 R2...

Running Jenkins behind a reverse proxy

In this example, we will learn how to position an Nginx server (running on a standalone machine) front of a Jenkins server (running on another standalone machine).

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure you have the following things ready:

  • We need two machines with at least 4 GB of RAM and a Multi-core processor. One will run Nginx and the other will run Jenkins.

  • The machine should have Ubuntu 16.04 or greater...

Running Jenkins on Docker

The true advantage of having Jenkins on Docker is when you have to quickly create multiple development and staging instances of your production Jenkins server. It's also very useful in redirecting the traffic to a secondary Jenkins server while you perform maintenance activities on the primary Jenkins server. While we will see these use cases later, let's first try to run Jenkins on Docker.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure you have the following things ready:

  • We need a machine with at least 4 GB of RAM (the more the better) and a Multi-core processor.
  • Depending on how you manage the infrastructure in your team, the machine could be an instance on a cloud platform (such as AWS, DigitalOcean...

Key benefits

  • • Take advantage of a Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery solution to speed up productivity and achieve faster software delivery
  • • See all the new features introduced in Jenkins 2.x, such as Pipeline as code, Multibranch pipeline, Docker Plugin, and more
  • • Learn to implement Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery by orchestrating multiple DevOps tools using Jenkins

Description

In past few years, agile software development has seen tremendous growth. There is a huge demand for software delivery solutions that are fast yet flexible to numerous amendments. As a result, Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Delivery (CD) methodologies are gaining popularity. This book starts off by explaining the concepts of CI and its significance in the Agile. Next, you'll learn how to configure and set up Jenkins in many different ways. The book exploits the concept of "pipeline as code" and various other features introduced in the Jenkins 2.x release to their full potential. We also talk in detail about the new Jenkins Blue Ocean interface and the features that help to quickly and easily create a CI pipeline. Then we dive into the various features offered by Jenkins one by one, exploiting them for CI and CD. Jenkins' core functionality and flexibility allows it to fit in a variety of environments and can help streamline the development process for all stakeholders. Next, you'll be introduced to CD and will learn how to achieve it using Jenkins. Through this book's wealth of best practices and real-world tips, you'll discover how easy it is to implement CI and CD using Jenkins.

Who is this book for?

The book is for those with little or no previous experience with Agile or CI and CD. It’s a good starting point for anyone new to this field who wants to leverage the benefits of CI and CD to increase productivity and reduce delivery time. It’s ideal for Build and Release engineers, DevOps engineers, SCM (Software Configuration Management) engineers, developers, testers, and project managers. If you’re already using Jenkins for CI, you can take your project to the next level—CD.

THis book is very technical, and only for consult. If you don't know already the underlying concepts, this book will not teach them. The explanations are no intuitive, the book only glazes through what the menus have not revealing more clicking said menus would. No best practices, no advises.

So far the book is OK, but it is annoyingly full of English language errors. It clearly is not written by a native speaker of English and was not proofread well enough.

Great beginner reference with walks you step by step through many CI tasks in Jenkins. Very detailed instructions and multiple paths on multiple platforms (with development Docker Jenkins images to run!) for creating deployment pipelines in Jenkins. Doesn't go into more complicated CI/CD strategies, but is a really good, hands-on beginner book.

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
  • Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
