Description

ansible-jenkins is an Ansible playbook. The playbook contains tasks to install Jenkins and install/update plugins.

Requirements

Ansible

Everything is documented on the Ansible site...

Supported platforms

Playbook tested on Debian-7.0-b4-amd64, probably works on other Debian versions too. Heavily depends on apt, sorry CentOS users...

Usage

Get the code

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

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

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 ansible-jenkins/setup.yml --extra-vars="user=vagrant"
