3 +== Setting up Hudson ==
4 4  
5 -=== Upgrading from Hudson ===
5 +There are a couple different ways to run Hudson. The easiest is to run it as a standalone application.
6 6  
7 -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.
7 +=== Standalone Installation ===
8 8  
9 -=== Stand-Alone Mac OS X Setup ===
9 +{{info}}
10 +These instructions are based on David Avendasora's setup. You may have different preferences as to where to install Hudson at or where to set its home directory to.
11 +{{/info}}

11 -1. Download the Jenkins Binary Installer from the [[Jenkins Website>>http://jenkins-ci.org/]].
12 -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##.
13 -1. Run the installer
14 -[[image:JenkinsInstaller.png]]
15 -1. Restart your computer
16 -This is required because the current version of Jenkins does not create the its directory until it launches after you restart you computer.
17 -1. Point your browser to: [[http://localhost:8080/]]
18 -1. Start setting up jobs (Instructions from WOWODC2011 Coming Soon)
13 +1. Create a ##/Developer/Hudson/Home## directory.
14 +1. [[Download Hudson>>http://hudson-ci.org/latest/hudson.war]], saving ##hudson.war## file to ##/Developer/Hudson##.
15 +1. Launch Hudson with the following command in Terminal.app:

20 -=== Stand-Alone CentOS/RedHat/Amazon Linux ===
21 -
22 -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.
23 -
24 -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:
25 -
26 26  {{code}}
27 27  
28 -sudo cp /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt.original
29 -sudo curl http://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem -o /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt
19 +java -DHUDSON_HOME=/Developer/Hudson/Home -jar /Developer/Hudson/hudson.war

32 32  
33 -=== Stand-Alone Ubuntu/Debian ===
23 +{{info}}
34 34  
35 -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.
25 +Hudson uses a built-in servlet container in stand-alone mode. If you have Tomcat running on the computer already, you should use the {{\-httpPort}} and {{\-ajp13Port}} options to change which ports Hudson uses.
26 +{code}
27 +java -DHUDSON_HOME=/Developer/Hudson/Home -jar /Developer/Hudson/hudson.war -httpPort=9080 --ajp13Port=9009

39 -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:
32 +1. Point your browser to: [[http://localhost:8080/]]

35 +=== Standalone Jenkins w/SSL ===
36 +
37 +Setting up SSL for Jenkins is surprisingly easy. I found basic instructions here at [[SSL Setup Options>>http://jenkins.361315.n4.nabble.com/SSL-Setup-Options-td954261.html]]. I'll repeat them here for posterity.
38 +
41 41  1. Create a selfsigned test SSL certificate. 
42 42  keytool genkey keyalg RSA alias selfsigned keystore keystore.jks -storepass ToPSecRet321 dname "cn=localhost"

41 +1. Launch Hudson.

47 47  {{/noformat}}
48 48  
49 49  1. Launch browser 
50 50  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.
51 51  
52 -{{note title="Please Note"}}
53 -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.

52 +=== Standalone Jenkins and launchd on Mac OS X ===
53 +
54 +In my case I created the jenkins user and JENKINS//HOME using dscl. ([[Using dscl to Create New Users and Groups>>http://mblog.lib.umich.edu/sites/archives/2008/04/using_dscl_to_c.html]]) To make jenkins launch when the machine boots up and relaunch if it dies, I created a launch daemon. Doing that requires a plist in the correct folder. Then either reboot, or launch the daemon with launchctl on the command line.//
