Bosh release for Jenkins

One of the fastest ways to get Jenkins running on any infrastructure is to deploy this bosh release.

Usage

To use this bosh release, first upload it to your bosh:

bosh target BOSH_URL
bosh login
git clone https://github.com/cloudfoundry-community/jenkins-boshrelease.git
cd jenkins-boshrelease
bosh upload release releases/jenkins-3.yml

You now need a deployment file. This is different for each use case.

bosh-lite/warden deployments

Copy the examples/try_me.yml to say ~/deployments/bosh-lite-jenkins.yml.

Then target it, update it with the bosh-lite/warden template, and deploy it:

bosh deployment ~/deployments/bosh-lite-jenkins.yml
bosh -n diff templates/v1/warden_deployment_file.yml.erb
bosh -n deploy

You can now view Jenkins in your browser at http://10.244.1.2/

AWS or OpenStack deployments

There are three additional manual steps than above:

• acquire a public IP address, say 1.2.3.4
• create a security group with ports 22 & 80 open, say jenkins

Create a simple initial deployment file, say ~/deployments/jenkins.yml:

---
name: myjenkins
director_uuid: <%= `bosh status | grep UUID | awk '{print $2}'` %>
networks: {}
properties:
  jenkins:
    ip_address: 1.2.3.4
    security_group: jenkins
    persistent_disk: 4096
    password: jEnKins

Then target it, update it with the simple template, and deploy it:

bosh deployment ~/deployments/jenkins.yml
bosh -n diff templates/v1/simple_deployment_file.yml.erb
bosh -n deploy

Create new final release

To create a new final release you need to get read/write API credentials to the @cloudfoundry-community s3 account.

Please email Dr Nic Williams and he will create unique API credentials for you.

Create a config/private.yml file with the following contents:

---
blobstore:
  s3:
    access_key_id:     ACCESS
    secret_access_key: PRIVATE

You can now create final releases for everyone to enjoy!

bosh create release
# test this dev release
git commit -m "updated jenkins"
bosh create release --final
git commit -m "creating vXYZ release"
git tag vXYZ
git push origin master --tags
