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 ...
