hiklas / vagrant-jenkins-deployment

A vagrant VM built with CentOS 7 for running Jenkins

Overview

Intended as an environment to play with Jenkins for apprentices and trainees to work on.

Quickstart

• Install ansible
• Run vagrant up
• Connect to http://localhost:9001/ on the host

Setup

Pre-requisites

• VirtualBox
• Vagrant
• Python

The code was developed and tested on a Mac but should work fine on other platforms that meet the above requirements.

Installing ansible

Since Ansible has been packaged for use with pip I've used virtualenv for python to allow a local installation that doesn't need admin access or muck up any of your system libraries. I prefer this approach as it's cleaner and has less in the way of side-affects. Feel free to install ansible from RPMs/.deb or other package managers onto your system natively if that is easier for you.

Create a virtual python environment and activate it

virtualenv ansible-env
. ansible-env/bin/activate

Install ansible

pip install ansible

Inital VM

Start VM using this

vagrant up
