CI/CD Pipeline with Docker and Jenkins

This repository contains code for setting up a Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipeline using Docker and Jenkins. The pipeline automates the process of building, testing, and deploying applications, ensuring efficiency and consistency in software development workflows.

Overview

The CI/CD pipeline involves the following steps:

1. GitHub Push: The process begins when code changes are pushed to the GitHub repository.
2. Jenkins Build Trigger: Jenkins, our automation server, is configured to monitor the GitHub repository for changes. Upon detecting a new commit, Jenkins triggers the build process.
3. Docker Image Creation: Jenkins pulls the base Docker image from DockerHub and builds a Docker image containing the application and its dependencies.
4. Docker Image Push: Once the Docker image is built successfully, Jenkins pushes the image to DockerHub, making it available for deployment.
5. Update Status: Jenkins updates the build status on GitHub, providing visibility into the CI/CD process.
6. Notification: Users are notified of the build status through GitHub notifications.

Getting Started

To set up the CI/CD pipeline in your environment, follow these steps:

1. Clone Repository: Clone this repository to your local machine using the following command:

   git clone https://github.com/HGSChandeepa/GitHub-Docker-and-Jenkins-CI-CD-Pipeline
   

2. Configure Jenkins: Set up Jenkins on your server and configure it to monitor the GitHub repository for changes. Install necessary plugins like Docker Pipeline Plugin.
3. Set Up DockerHub: Ensure you have an account on DockerHub where Jenkins can push Docker images.
4. Configure Pipeline: In Jenkins, create a new pipeline job and configure it to use the provided Jenkinsfile in this repository.
5. Trigger Build: Trigger a build manually or make a code change in the repository to initiate the CI/CD pipeline.
