Buildout recipe for installing a Jenkins instance

Project description

Overview

This is a recipe to set up and configure Jenkins in a Jetty servlet container.

Note

The recipe is currently not compatible with Python 2.7 due to an incompatibility in the iw.recipe.template recipe used internally.

Basic setup

A basic buildout configuration using this recipe looks like this:

[buildout]

parts =
    jetty-download
    jenkins-download
    jenkins

[jetty-download]
recipe = hexagonit.recipe.download
url = http://download.eclipse.org/jetty/7.2.2.v20101205/dist/jetty-distribution-7.2.2.v20101205.tar.gz
strip-top-level-dir = true

[jenkins-download]
recipe = hexagonit.recipe.download
url = http://mirrors.jenkins-ci.org/war/1.397/jenkins.war
download-only = true

[jenkins]
recipe = jarn.jenkins
jetty-location = ${jetty-download:location}
jenkins-location = ${jenkins-download:location}

This will download both Jetty and Jenkins and create an executable Jetty environment in parts/jenkins. It will also create a control script in bin/jenkins. The name of the script is the name of the section.

To test the setup run bin/jenkins fg and check the console output. By default this will run a Jetty server on port 8070. The jenkins instance is accessible in a browser at http://127.0.0.1:8070/jenkins/.

Jenkins will write all its log files into var/jenkins/log. All its configuration including jobs and past runs will go into var/jenkins/data. The directory name in var will have the name of the recipe section.

Options

The recipe supports the following options:

host

Name or IP address of the Jetty server, e.g. some.server.com. Defaults to 127.0.0.1.

port

Server port. Defaults to 8070.

java-opts

Optional. Parameters to pass to the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) used to run Jetty. Each option is specified on a separated line. If you run into memory problems it’s typical to pass:

[jenkins]
...
java-opts =
  -Xms512M
  -Xmx1024M
...
