Setup of jenkins.debian.net =========================== :Author: Holger Levsen :Authorinitials: holger :EMail: holger@layer-acht.org :Status: in progress :lang: en :Doctype: article :Licence: GPLv2 == About jenkins.debian.net See link:http://jenkins.debian.net/userContent/about.html["about jenkins.debian.net"]. == Setup === Installed software that makes jenkins.debian.net run link:http://jenkins.debian.net[jenkins.debian.net] runs Debian wheezy. === Jenkins Currently running the long term support .deb from jenkins-ci.org. Jenkins is installed using 'deb http://pkg.jenkins-ci.org/debian-stable binary/' into '/etc/apt/sources.list.d/jenkins.list' and `apt-get update && apt-get install jenkins`. I would prefer to run a jenkins package from wheezy-backports. ==== Jenkins plugins * Jenkins GIT plugin * Jenkins Subversion Plug-in * Log Parser Plugin * HTML Publisher plugin * Static Analysis Utilities * Read-only configurations * SCM Sync Configuration Plugin * Dependency Graph Viewer Plugin * View Job Filters * Console Column Plugin * Priority Sorter Plugin * Throttle Concurrent Builds Plugin * Next Executions Plugin * Sidebar Link * Green Balls * Compact Columns * Simple Theme Plugin * Locale plugin * Jenkins Translation Assistance plugin === updating jenkins.debian.net with 'update_jdn.sh' 'update_jdn.sh' is a small hackish script which will install all needed packages, copy their configuration in place, generate the documentation webpages and update all jenkins jobs if needed. As 'root' run: ---- cd git clone git://git.debian.org/git/users/holger/jenkins.debian.net.git cd jenkins.debian.net ./update_jdn.sh ---- 'jenkins-job-builder', 'vncdotool' and (currently) 'kgb-client' are the only software which is not covered by this script. === Installing jenkins-job-builder ---- pip install python-jenkins git clone https://github.com/openstack-ci/jenkins-job-builder cd jenkins-job-builder python setup.py install ---- Though actually https://github.com/h01ger/jenkins-job-builder is used atm. ==== Using jenkins-job-builder 'update_jdn.sh' takes care of this too, so this is just for quick documentation. The real documentation is at http://ci.openstack.org/jenkins-job-builder/ * run `cd /srv/jenkins/job-cfg ; jenkins-jobs update .` to update jobs * for testing: `cd /srv/jenkins/job-cfg ; rm test-output/ -r ; mkdir test-output ; jenkins-jobs test . -o test-output/ ; ls test-output/` === Installing kgb-client Rebuild the 'kgb-bot' source package from sid on whezzy and then install the 'kbg-client' package. Configuration is done through 'update_jdn.sh'. ==== IRC notification configuration The jenkins jobs are configured to send email to 'jenkins+$IRC_CHANNEL' (like 'jenkins+debian-qa'), this is parsed by a script ('/srv/jenkins/bin/email2irc.sh') run through 'procmail' which then in turn notifies 'kgb-client', which notfies 'kgb-server'(s) on the internet, which are the bots notifying the IRC channels. 'kbg-client' needs to be '>= 1.24'. The Jenkins EMail notification plugin is used as its state tracking is best (and the Jenkins IRC plugin is way too powerful). === Installing vncdotool ---- apt-get install python-twisted python-imaging git clone https://github.com/sibson/vncdotool cd vncdotool/ python setup.py ---- === munin link://munin-monitoring[Munin] is installed, running with link:http://jenkins.debian.net/munin/[jenkins plugins] not yet published elsewhere. === Backup Currently only the configuration is backed up, but neither the jenkins results nor system logs. But that's at least sufficient to re-setup the system if needed. * The _etckeeper_ package is installed and automatically keeps '/etc' in '/etc/.git'. * The _SCM Sync Configuration Plugin_ is installed in Jenkins, putting all Jenkins configuration into '/srv/jenkins.debian.net-scm-sync.git'. ** (This is not ideal yet, because it also puts the generated job configuration there...) I've cloned these two git repos on my desktop and manually run `git pull`. This is certainly not ideal but good enough to re-setup the system anytime, which is something. // vim: set filetype=asciidoc:
