Pascal Robert 123.1 1 **[[Jenkins>>url:http://jenkins-ci.org/||shape="rect"]]** 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>>url:https://github.com/jenkinsci||shape="rect"]].

Pascal Robert 123.1 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>>url:http://www.wocommunity.org/podcasts/wowodc/east09/WOWODC09E-MultipleVersionsWO.mov||shape="rect"]].

David Avendasora 119.1 5 === Pre-requirements ===
6
7 Before you install Jenkins, you will need to install
8
9 * a Java SDK (a JRE won't work because of Ant)
Pascal Robert 123.1 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).
David Avendasora 119.1 11 * a Subversion client if you are going to use Subversion

Pascal Robert 116.1 13 === Upgrading from Hudson ===
David Avendasora 64.1 14
Pascal Robert 123.1 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>>url:https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Upgrading+from+Hudson+to+Jenkins||shape="rect"]] to help with the change.
David Avendasora 64.1 16
Pascal Robert 116.1 17 === Stand-Alone Mac OS X Setup ===
Mike Schrag 90.1 18
Pascal Robert 123.1 19 1. Download the Jenkins Binary Installer from the [[Jenkins Website>>url:http://jenkins-ci.org/||shape="rect"]].
20 The direct link to get the latest installer is: [[http:~~/~~/mirrors.jenkins-ci.org/osx/latest>>url:http://mirrors.jenkins-ci.org/osx/latest||shape="rect"]]. This will download a standard OS X Installer Package named {{code language="none"}}jenkins-n.nnn.pkg{{/code}}.
Pascal Robert 116.1 21 1. Run the installer
Pascal Robert 123.1 22 [[image:attach:JenkinsInstaller.png]]
Pascal Robert 116.1 23 1. Restart your computer
Pascal Robert 123.1 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/>>url:http://localhost:8080/||shape="rect"]]

Pascal Robert 116.1 28 === Stand-Alone CentOS/RedHat/Amazon Linux ===
29
Pascal Robert 123.1 30 The easiest way to install Jenkins on a Fedora/RedHat/CentOS/Amazon Linux is by using [[Yum>>url:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow_dog_Updater,_Modified||shape="rect"]]. The Jenkins project have a Yum repository and [[complete instructions>>url:https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Installing+Jenkins+on+RedHat+distributions||shape="rect"]] 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.
Pascal Robert 116.1 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
David Avendasora 92.1 34 {{code}}
35
Pascal Robert 116.1 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

Pascal Robert 116.1 41 === Stand-Alone Ubuntu/Debian ===
David Avendasora 92.1 42
Pascal Robert 123.1 43 Follow [[the following instructions>>url:http://pkg.jenkins-ci.org/debian/||shape="rect"]] 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>>url:https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java||shape="rect"]] for details on how to install a JDK on Ubuntu.

David Avendasora 119.1 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.

Pascal Robert 116.1 49 === Using SSL ===
Paul Hoadley 98.1 50
Pascal Robert 123.1 51 Setting up SSL for Jenkins is surprisingly easy. The following is originally from the [[SSL Setup Options>>url:http://jenkins.361315.n4.nabble.com/SSL-Setup-Options-td954261.html||shape="rect"]] page on nabble.com:
Paul Hoadley 98.1 52
Pascal Robert 123.1 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 1. {{noformat}}java -jar jenkins.war --httpPort=-1 --httpsPort=8080 --httpsKeyStore=keystore.jks --httpsKeyStorePassword=ToPSecRet321{{/noformat}}Launch browser 
57 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.
Pascal Robert 116.1 58
59 {{note title="Please Note"}}
60 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.

Johan Henselmans 114.1 107
Pascal Robert 123.1 108 After Jenkins is installed and started, you will need to install at the very minimum two plugins: [[Multiple SCMs>>url:https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Multiple+SCMs+Plugin||shape="rect"]] and [[Git>>url:https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Git+Plugin||shape="rect"]]. 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.
