Jenkins

  • Agents in Jenkins
    • An agent is a machine or a container that connects to Jenkins controller and execute tasks as directed by the controller.
    • Controller administrate the connections and tooling for the container or agent.
    • Agent can be bare metal, virtual or can be on cloud.
    • Any machine that can run Java can be an agent for Jenkins controller.
    • Agents provide more security and better performance.
  • Create Agent Node in Jenkins.
    • To create an Agent node In Jenkins, go to manage Jenkins and click on nodes.
    • Click on new node.
    • Give it a name, description, and root directory.
    • Add labels based on your usage.
    • Add launch methods and its credentials.
    • Host key verification strategy
      • JDK and port options
    • Number of executors of an agent is based on CPU’s Available on your machine.
    • For non verifying verification strategy as Host Key verification strategy we just need credentials for launching agents via SSH.
    • Using SSH keyfile for launching agents via ssh.
      • We use known hosts file strategy as Host key verification strategy here.
      • Create the following Directory
        • mkdir -p /var/lib/jenkins/.ssh
      • Copy entries for your ssh host in the known_hosts directory
        • ssh-keyscan -H hostname >> /var/lib/jenkins/.ssh/known_hosts
      • Change the ownership of .ssh folder to jenkins user
        • chown -R jenkins /var/lib/jenkins/.ssh
  • Creating pipeline In Jenkins.
    • We create, a pipeline Jenkins to define a series of steps To perform an action Like, pulling the files from git Repository And performing operations using them.
    • To create a pipeline Select new item and then pipeline from the Jenkins dashboard.


    • Provide its definition either in text format or From SCM, like git repository.
    • Change the BRANCH and give path to script file If given from repository.


    • Create credentials in Jenkins for the PostgresDB For example, in the Given repository We are executing scripts from flyway

      • You will use the id of these in pipline
    • Create a database with name, flyway and run the pipeline.

Setup Flyway,Postgres in Jenkins using Docker

Recently I was trying to setup Flyway on Jenkins for my db in Postgres. The required files can be found here https://github.com/gauravmatta/devops/tree/main/jenkins_flyway The basic files you will need will be  The configuration file in conf folder The sql files in the sql folder The pipeline file "jenkinsfile-2" Here is the sample configuration file flyway.url= jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/flyway flyway.user = postgres flyway.password = postgres flyway.schemas= flyway flyway.locations=filesystem:../sql flyway.driver=org.postgresql.Driver Create DB Credentials in Jenkins with ID  "db-creds" We are using this in our sample you may change it but be sure to change it in jenkins pipeline file too. Here is the sample jenkins pipeline file https://github.com/gauravmatta/devops/blob/main/jenkins_flyway/jenkinsfile-2 My postgres is installed on localhost so I am using "--network=host" in my docker command for example docker run --rm --networ...

Setup Devops in AWS

To set up and environment in CICD in In AWS, we require Following components Application load balancer(ALB) We create Different of ALB’s for frontend and backend Services. For all the services(ECS) and ALB, we have only one security group. Developers push their code on Code repository Like GitHub. Each micro service has a docker file In its root directory, which is used to create a customised image Of that micro service Which is deployable and executable in All docker supported Environments. We create a package, build an image using AWS code build Which reads instruction form a file In root directory Called as buildspec.yml. We deploy image in ECS clusters using Pipeline. We can define the CFT file of our ECS clusters, target service and cloud watch log groups. We have details about the container, the taskdefinition, file, and details about services. Under the ECS cluster, we have services under the services we have tasks. The task is the image, deployed and container running the same....

Using SSH keyfile for launching agents via ssh

Image
We use known hosts file strategy as Host key verification strategy here. Create the following Directory mkdir -p /var/lib/jenkins/.ssh Copy entries for your ssh host in the known_hosts directory ssh-keyscan -H hostname >> /var/lib/jenkins/.ssh/known_hosts Change the ownership of .ssh folder to jenkins user chown -R jenkins /var/lib/jenkins/.ssh
