David Avendasora 66.1 1 [[Hudson>>http://hudson-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. Hudson is an open source project, and can be used at no cost. An introductory presentation on building WebObjects projects with Hudson 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]].

David Avendasora 66.1 3 == Setting up Hudson ==
David Avendasora 64.1 4
David Avendasora 66.1 5 There are a couple different ways to run Hudson. The easiest is to run it as a standalone application.

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.

Pascal Robert 37.1 12
David Avendasora 66.1 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:
Pascal Robert 37.1 16
David Avendasora 66.1 17 {{code}}
Pascal Robert 37.1 18
David Avendasora 66.1 19 java -DHUDSON_HOME=/Developer/Hudson/Home -jar /Developer/Hudson/hudson.war

David Avendasora 66.1 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

David Avendasora 66.1 32 1. Point your browser to: [[http://localhost:8080/]] 
33 1. Start setting up jobs
34
Ramsey Gurley 68.1 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
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 Hudson. 
Ramsey Gurley 70.1 42 java jar hudson.war httpPort=-1 httpsPort=8080 httpsKeyStore=keystore.jks httpsKeyStorePassword=ToPSecRet321
Ramsey Gurley 68.1 43 1. Launch browser 
44 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.
45
46 Those with sharp eyes will notice 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. I used the same password as the keystore password and everything works. I'm not sure if that makes a difference.
47
48 === Standalone Jenkins and launchd on Mac OS X ===
49
50 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 launchd on the command line.//
51
Ramsey Gurley 70.1 52 Make sure your permissions and user:group are set correctly on the plist (rwrr root:wheel). In /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.jenkins-ci.jenkins.plist I placed:
