Installs and configures Jenkins CI server & node slaves. Resource providers to support automation via jenkins-cli, including job create/update.
-
Chef version 0.9.10 or higher
-
‘default’ - Server installation - currently supports Red Hat/CentOS 5.x and Ubuntu 8.x/9.x/10.x
-
‘node_ssh’ - Any platform that is running sshd.
-
‘node_jnlp’ - Unix platforms. (depends on runit recipe)
-
‘node_windows’ - Windows platforms only. Depends on .NET Framework, which can be installed with the windows::dotnetfx recipe.
Jenkins requires Java 1.5 or higher, which can be installed via the Opscode java cookbook or windows::java recipe.
If your Jenkins instance requires authentication, you’ll either need to embed user:pass in the jenkins.server.url or issue a jenkins-cli.jar login command prior to using the jenkins::node_* recipes. For example, define a role like so:
name "jenkins_ssh_node" description "cli login & register ssh slave with Jenkins" run_list %w(vmw::jenkins_login jenkins::node_ssh)
Where the jenkins_login recipe is simply:
jenkins_cli "login --username #{node[:jenkins][:username]} --password #{node[:jenkins][:password]}"

jenkins[:user] - user the slave runs as
-
jenkins[:ssh_host] - Hostname or IP Jenkins should connect to when launching an SSH slave
-
jenkins[:ssh_port] - SSH slave port
-
jenkins[:ssh_user] - SSH slave user name (only required if jenkins server and slave user is different)
-
jenkins[:ssh_pass] - SSH slave password (not required when server is installed via default recipe)
-
jenkins[:ssh_private_key] - jenkins master defaults to: ‘~/.ssh/id_rsa` (created by the default recipe)
-
jenkins[:jvm_options] - SSH slave JVM options
-
jenkins - if iptables is enabled, add a rule passing ‘jenkins[:port]’
-
jenkins[:variant] - use ‘nginx` or `apache2` to proxy traffic to jenkins backend (`nil` by default)
-
jenkins[:www_redirect] - add a redirect rule for ‘www.*’ URL requests (“disable” by default)
-
jenkins[:listen_ports] - list of HTTP ports for the HTTP proxy to listen on ([80] by default)
-
jenkins[:host_name] - primary vhost name for the HTTP proxy to respond to (‘node` by default)
-
jenkins[:host_aliases] - optional list of other host aliases to respond to (empty by default)
-
jenkins[:client_max_body_size] - max client upload size (“1024m” by default, nginx only)
Installs a Jenkins CI server using the jenkins-ci.org/redhat RPM. The recipe also generates an ssh private key and stores the ssh public key in the node ‘jenkins’ attribute for use by the node recipes.
Creates the user and group for the Jenkins slave to run as and sets ‘.ssh/authorized_keys` to the ’jenkins’ attribute. The ‘jenkins-cli.jar’ is downloaded from the Jenkins server and used to manage the nodes via the ‘groovy’ cli command. Jenkins is configured to launch a slave agent on the node using its SSH slave plugin.

Creates the user and group for the Jenkins slave to run as and ‘/jnlpJars/slave.jar’ is downloaded from the Jenkins server. Depends on runit_service from the runit cookbook.
Creates the home directory for the node slave and sets ‘JENKINS_HOME’ and ‘JENKINS_URL’ system environment variables. The ‘winsw’ Windows service wrapper will be downloaded and installed, along with generating ‘jenkins-slave.xml` from a template. Jenkins is configured with the node as a ’jnlp’ slave and ‘/jnlpJars/slave.jar’ is downloaded from the Jenkins server. The ‘jenkinsslave’ service will be started the first time the recipe is run or if the service is not running. The ‘jenkinsslave’ service will be restarted if ‘/jnlpJars/slave.jar’ has changed. The end results is functionally the same had you chosen the option to “Let Jenkins control this slave as a Windows service”.

Uses the nginx::source recipe from the nginx cookbook to install an HTTP frontend proxy. To automatically activate this recipe set the ‘node[:http_proxy]` to `nginx`.
Uses the apache2 recipe from the apache2 cookbook to install an HTTP frontend proxy. To automatically activate this recipe set the ‘node[:http_proxy]` to `apache2`.
This resource can be used to execute the Jenkins cli from your recipes. For example, install plugins via update center and restart Jenkins:
%w(git URLSCM build-publisher).each do |plugin| jenkins_cli "install-plugin #{plugin}" jenkins_cli "safe-restart" end
This resource can be used to configure nodes as the ‘node_ssh’ and ‘node_windows’ recipes do or “Launch slave via execution of command on the Master”.
jenkins_node node[:fqdn] do description "My node for things, stuff and whatnot" executors 5 remote_fs "/var/jenkins" launcher "command" command "ssh -i my_key #{node[:fqdn]} java -jar #{remote_fs}/slave.jar" env "ANT_HOME" => "/usr/local/ant", "M2_REPO" => "/dev/null" end
This resource manages jenkins jobs, supporting the following actions:
:create, :update, :delete, :build, :disable, :enable
The ‘create’ and ‘update’ actions require a jenkins job config.xml. Example:
git_branch = 'master' job_name = "sigar-#{branch}-#{node[:os]}-#{node[:kernel][:machine]}" job_config = File.join(node[:jenkins][:node][:home], "#{job_name}-config.xml") jenkins_job job_name do action :nothing config job_config end template job_config do source "sigar-jenkins-config.xml" variables :job_name => job_name, :branch => git_branch, :node => node[:fqdn] notifies :update, resources(:jenkins_job => job_name), :immediately notifies :build, resources(:jenkins_job => job_name), :immediately end
The script to generate groovy that manages a node can be used standalone. For example:
% ruby manage_node.rb name slave-hostname remote_fs /home/jenkins ... | java -jar jenkins-cli.jar -s http://jenkins:8080/ groovy =

This is a downstream fork of Doug MacEachern’s Hudson cookbook (github.com/dougm/site-cookbooks) and therefore deserves all the glory.
