DevOps Training Platform

This is (hopefully) a working example of a delivery pipeline using

1. Jenkins

2. A generic build slave with only Docker installed

   1. so we don’t build on master

3. Most commonly used build tools, meaning

   1. Maven

   2. NPM

4. A fairly generic project

   1. a TODO list

   2. with a frontend and a backend

5. a project-defined pipeline

Prerequisites

• Java 1.7+

• Docker

• Vagrant

Launch

In order to launch your platform all you have to do is execute the following script

./setup.sh

this will

1. launch a Vagrant Box to be used as a Jenkins Slave

   1. this box installs Docker on launch

2. build a Jenkins Docker Image with all the necessary plugins already installed

3. launch a container using this newly-built image

4. download the Jenkins Client from this instance

5. create the credentials in Jenkins

   1. we use Vagrant’s private key (found in .vagrant/machines/default/virtualbox/private_key) as Jenkins key also

6. create the node in Jenkins

   1. we use the private IP (192.168.33.10) we set in the Vagrantfile to connect the Vagrant Box

7. use a local folder data/ localted inside this workspace (where you cloned this project) to locally stock Jenkins files (to survive restarts)

Cleanup

./cleanup.sh

this will

1. remove the containers concerning this training platform

2. remove the data folder containing Jenkins home

3. remove the jenkins-cli.jar

4. destroy the Vagrant Box used as a Jenkins slave

5. remove the Docker Images build for this training
