Description

ansible-jenkins is an Ansible role. Use this role to install Jenkins and install/update plugins.

Provides

Latest Jenkins server
Jenkins plugins support

Requires

Ansible 1.4 or higher
Debian 7.3 (other deb-based distros should work too)
Vagrant (optional)

Usage

Install from Ansible Galaxy

$ ansible-galaxy install flyapen.jenkins

Or download manually

$ git clone https://github.com/ICTO/ansible-jenkins.git roles

The code should reside in the roles directory of ansible ( See ansible documentation for more information on roles ), in a folder jenkins.

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 ansible_ssh_user=vagrant ansible_ssh_private_key_file=~/.vagrant.d/insecure_private_key

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

---
jenkins_plugins:
  - 'ldap'
  - 'github'
  - 'translation'
  - 'preSCMbuildstep'
jenkins_port: 8081
jenkins_prefix: '/build'
jenkins_email:
  smtp_host: 'mail.example.com'
  smtp_ssl: 'true'
  default_email_suffix: '@example.com'

Run the playbook

First create a playbook including the jenkins role, naming it jenkins.yml.

- name: Jenkins
  hosts: jenkins
  sudo: yes
  roles:
    - ansible-jenkins

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 -i ansible.host jenkins.yml
