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]].
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, and the video can be [[purchased from wocommunity.org>>http://www.wocommunity.org/apps/WebObjects/WOCommunity.woa/wa/recordings]].

5 === Upgrading from Hudson ===
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.

9 === Stand-Alone Mac OS X Setup ===
10
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)
19
20 === Stand-Alone CentOS/RedHat/Amazon Linux ===
21
22 1. Download the Jenkins Binary Installer from the [[Jenkins Website>>http://pkg.jenkins-ci.org/redhat/]].
23 You can also use Yum to install Jenkins, for easy upgrading and installation. Check the instructions on [[that page>>http://pkg.jenkins-ci.org/redhat/]].
24 1. If using the .rpm, install it with 
25 rpm -install jenkins-VERSION-NUMBER.noarch.rpm
26 1. To start Jenkins:
27 service jenkins on
28 1. Point your browser to: http:~/~/yourserver:8080
29 1. The Jenkins data directory, where the jobs and config are, is : /var/lib/jenkins
30 The starting script is at: /etc/init.d/jenkins
31 Jenkins (the .war) is installed at: /usr/lib/jenkins/
32 1. To upgrade Jenkins, do the same step as installation, but do -upgrade instead of -install:
33 rpm -upgrade jenkins-VERSION-NUMBER.noarch.rpm
34
35 === Using SSL ===
36
37 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:
38
39 1. Create a selfsigned test SSL certificate. 
40 keytool genkey keyalg RSA alias selfsigned keystore keystore.jks -storepass ToPSecRet321 dname "cn=localhost"
41 1. Launch Jenkins.
42
43 {{noformat}}
44 java -jar jenkins.war --httpPort=-1 --httpsPort=8080 --httpsKeyStore=keystore.jks --httpsKeyStorePassword=ToPSecRet321
45 {{/noformat}}
46
47 1. Launch browser 
48 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.
49
50 {{note title="Please Note"}}
51 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.

54 === Servlet Container Installation on Mac OS X (10.5, 10.6) ===
55
56 1. Install Tomcat from [[http://www.macports.org]] with the command
57
58 {{noformat}}
59
60 sudo /opt/local/bin/port install tomcat6
61
62 {{/noformat}}
63
64 1. Create an administrative user in ##/opt/local/share/java/tomcat6/conf/tomcat-users.xml##.
65
66 {{code value="xml"}}
67
68 <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
69 <tomcat-users>
70 <role rolename="manager"/>
71 <role rolename="admin"/>
72 <user username="tomcat" password="tomcat" roles="admin,manager"/>
73 </tomcat-users>
74
75 {{/code}}
76
77 {{panel bgColor="#F7D6C1"}}
78
79 Don't forget to change the username and password after you have finished checking out the build server and start using it in production.

81 {{/panel}}
82
83 1. Start Tomcat.
84
85 {{noformat}}
86
87 sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.tomcat6.plist
88
89 {{/noformat}}
90
91 1. [[Download Jenkins>>http://mirrors.jenkins-ci.org/war/latest/jenkins.war]], saving ##jenkins.war## somewhere for later.
92 1. Create a folder for Jenkins to work in: ##/opt/local/var/db/jenkins##
93 1. Change ownership of that folder: ##chown www:_www /opt/local/var/db/jenkins##
94 1. Add the following to ##/opt/local/share/java/tomcat6/conf/setenv.local##:
95
96 {{noformat}}
97
98 export JENKINS_HOME=/opt/local/var/db/jenkins
99 export JAVA_OPTS=-Djava.awt.headless=true
100
101 {{/noformat}}
102
103 1. Install Jenkins in Tomcat: go to [[http://localhost:8080]], login with the user and password that you have created in ##tomcat-users.xml##, and upload ##jenkins.war## to the Tomcat server.
104 1. Goto [[http://localhost:8080/jenkins]] and you can start configuring your Jenkins build server.
