Ansible-Jenkins-Pipeline

Project Overview

This project automates the setup and configuration of a remote host using Jenkins and Ansible. It utilizes a Jenkins multi-branch pipeline to accept parameters such as remote host IP, username, password, SSH key, and other configurations, and uses Ansible playbooks to provision the remote host.

What the Project Should Do

1. Jenkins Multi-Branch Pipeline:

   • Accept parameters for remote host setup (IP, username, password, SSH key, package list, and config files).
   • Use the Ansible plugin to execute playbooks to configure the remote host.

2. Ansible Playbooks:

   • Create users if they don't exist.
   • Copy SSH keys for future access.
   • Install required packages (e.g., Nginx, MySQL).
   • Apply configuration files as templates for installed software.

What the Project Actually Does

• The Jenkins pipeline is configured to:
  • Take user input parameters.
  • Connect to the remote host using the provided credentials.
  • Run the Ansible playbooks to configure the host.
• The Ansible playbooks:
  • Set up a user with the given credentials.
  • Install Nginx and MySQL and apply the necessary configurations.

Gaps and Known Issues

• Error Handling: Current setup lacks robust error handling and logging.

• Documentation: Needs improvement, especially around Ansible roles and Jenkins configurations.
