Jenkins CI VM

This project spins up a VM running Jenkins CI, and then you can create a job to run a local Ansible playbook which will be run on the local machine via a Jenkins job.

Quick Start Guide

1 - Install dependencies (VirtualBox, Vagrant, Ansible)

  1. Download and install VirtualBox.
  2. Download and install Vagrant.
  3. [Mac/Linux only] Install Ansible.

Note for Windows users: This guide assumes you're on a Mac or Linux host. Windows hosts are unsupported at this time.

2 - Build the Virtual Machine

  1. Download this project and put it wherever you want.
  2. Open Terminal, cd to this directory (containing the Vagrantfile and this README file).
  3. Run ansible-galaxy install -r requirements.yml to install required Ansible roles.
  4. Type in vagrant up, and let Vagrant do its magic.

Note: If there are any errors during the course of running vagrant up, and it drops you back to your command prompt, just run vagrant provision to continue building the VM from where you left off. If there are still errors after doing this a few times, post an issue to this project's issue queue on GitHub with the error.

3 - Configure your host machine to access the VM.

  1. Edit your hosts file, adding the line 192.168.56.76 jenkinsci.test so you can connect to the VM.
  2. Open your browser and access http://jenkinsci.test:8080.

Notes

  • To shut down the virtual machine, enter vagrant halt in the Terminal in the same folder that has the Vagrantfile. To destroy it completely (if you want to save a little disk space, or want to rebuild it from scratch with vagrant up again), type in vagrant destroy.
