1 -**[[Jenkins>>http://jenkins-ci.org/]]** is an "extensible continuous integration server". It monitors repeated executions of jobs, such as building software projects, and can be used to build WebObjects applications and frameworks. Jenkins is an open source project and can be used at no cost. It is hosted on [[Github.com>>https://github.com/jenkinsci]].
1 +Hudson is a build server that takes the chore of the building and can do it automatically, based on all kinds of variables.
2 2  
3 -An introductory presentation on building WebObjects projects with Hudson (the predecessor to Jenkins) was given by Mike Schrag at WOWODC-West in 2009. You can also have a look at a [[recording from WOWODC 2009 East>>http://www.wocommunity.org/podcasts/wowodc/east09/WOWODC09E-MultipleVersionsWO.mov]].
3 +The complete introduction has been show on wowodc-west in 2009.

5 -=== Pre-requirements ===
5 +Installing Hudson
6 6  
7 -Before you install Jenkins, you will need to install
7 +To get Hudson running, the easiest way is to start running tomcat on a server.
8 8  
9 -* a Java SDK (a JRE won't work because of Ant)
10 -* a Git client. Make sure that the 'git' command is in the regular PATH (in /usr/bin or /usr/sbin). If it's elsewhere, like /opt/local/bin/git or /usr/local/bin/git, make a symlink in /usr/bin (example: sudo ln s /opt/local/bin/git /usr/bin/git).
11 -* a Subversion client if you are going to use Subversion
12 -
13 -=== Upgrading from Hudson ===
14 -
15 -Switching from Hudson to Jenkins is straight-forward since Hudson was the foundation that Jenkins was forked from. jenkins-ci.org has a [[wiki entry>>https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Upgrading+from+Hudson+to+Jenkins]] to help with the change.
16 -
17 -=== Stand-Alone Mac OS X Setup ===
18 -
19 -1. Download the Jenkins Binary Installer from the [[Jenkins Website>>http://jenkins-ci.org/]].
20 -The direct link to get the latest installer is: [[http://mirrors.jenkins-ci.org/osx/latest]]. This will download a standard OS X Installer Package named ##jenkins-n.nnn.pkg##.
21 -1. Run the installer
22 -[[image:JenkinsInstaller.png]]
23 -1. Restart your computer
24 -This is required because the current version of Jenkins does not create the its directory until it launches after you restart you computer.
25 -1. Point your browser to: [[http://localhost:8080/]]
26 -1. [[Start setting up jobs>>WO:Configuring jobs in Jenkins]]
27 -
28 -=== Stand-Alone CentOS/RedHat/Amazon Linux ===
29 -
30 -The easiest way to install Jenkins on a Fedora/RedHat/CentOS/Amazon Linux is by using [[Yum>>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow_dog_Updater,_Modified]]. The Jenkins project have a Yum repository and [[complete instructions>>https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Installing+Jenkins+on+RedHat+distributions]] on how to add the repository + install Jenkins the first time. You can also manually install Jenkins from a RPM available on jenkins-ci.org.
31 -
32 -Please note that on CentOS 5.x (I don't know for CentOS 6), the list of root certificates is old, and you will get error when trying to clone a Git repository coming from GitHub. To update the list of root certificates, do:
33 -
34 -{{code}}
35 -
36 -sudo cp /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt.original
37 -sudo curl http://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem -o /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt
38 -
39 -{{/code}}
40 -
41 -=== Stand-Alone Ubuntu/Debian ===
42 -
43 -Follow [[the following instructions>>http://pkg.jenkins-ci.org/debian/]] to get Jenkins running on a Ubuntu or Debian system. If you didn't install a Sun JVM before installing Jenkins from their repository, it will install OpenJDK 1.6. [[Check the Ubuntu documentation>>https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java]] for details on how to install a JDK on Ubuntu.
44 -
45 -=== Post installation ===
46 -
47 -After Jenkins is installed and running, go into Jenkins configuration and make sure that you install the "Multiple SCMs" and "Git plugin". If you are using another SCM like Mercurial or Perforce, install the plugins and the clients for your SCM.
48 -
49 -=== Using SSL ===
50 -
51 -Setting up SSL for Jenkins is surprisingly easy. The following is originally from the [[SSL Setup Options>>http://jenkins.361315.n4.nabble.com/SSL-Setup-Options-td954261.html]] page on nabble.com:
52 -
53 -1. Create a selfsigned test SSL certificate. 
54 -keytool genkey keyalg RSA alias selfsigned keystore keystore.jks -storepass ToPSecRet321 dname "cn=localhost"
55 -1. Launch Jenkins.
56 -
57 -{{noformat}}
58 -java -jar jenkins.war --httpPort=-1 --httpsPort=8080 --httpsKeyStore=keystore.jks --httpsKeyStorePassword=ToPSecRet321
59 -{{/noformat}}
60 -
61 -1. Launch browser 
62 -Open "https:~/~/localhost:8080" in browser. You might get a browser warning, because the certificate is not signed by a known certificate authority. Communication is SSL-encrypted nevertheless.
63 -
64 -{{note title="Please Note"}}
65 -The port has changed from the original instructions. That was required on Mac OS X because of permissions. Also, it's worth noting that the keytool asks for a second password for the private key of the ssl certificate. We are using the same password as the keystore password and everything works. It is unclear if that makes a difference.

174 -After Jenkins is installed and started, you will need to install at the very minimum two plugins: [[Multiple SCMs>>https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Multiple+SCMs+Plugin]] and [[Git>>https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Git+Plugin]]. They are required if you need to build projects by using the WOJenkins templates. If your projects are under another SCM like Subversion or CVS, you also need to install Jenkins for it.
