trigger local jenkins with github

[Stefan Bauer]

Hello,

general is it possible to trigger a local jenkins job, when a push to github repositorie was made? Since about one month I work on this problem. At the moment I use the following plugins:

git
github
github oauth

I tried a lot of things out, but nothing worked :-(

I need help. PLEASE :-)

Best regards
Stefan

Yes. You have two options:

1. Dumb and simple: enable polling

2. Smart and efficient but more complicated: enable the GitHub plugin,
register a web hook, make sure the GitHub plugin endpoint of your
local Jenkins is accessible from the internet without authentication,
oh and disable CSRF protection until
https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-20140 gets fixed.

If you tell us precisely what you tried, maybe we can spot what went
wrong. Maybe.

Hello Marius,

I want to use the second method, because efficiency is really important to my project.

I tried this configuration:

Jenkins GitHub Plugin (Version 1.8):
   Configure System/
      GitHub User Login: mustermann
      GitHub User Password: my_oauth_token
      GitHub Web Hook: Manually manage hook URLs

GitHub Web Hook:
   Spoon-Knife(its my test repository)/Settings/Service Hooks/WebHook URLs/
      URL: http://jenkins-mustermann:8080/github-webhook/

for this: "make sure the GitHub plugin endpoint of your local Jenkins is accessible from the internet without authentication" For this I thought I must use the following plugin->

Jenkins GitHub Oauth Plugin (Version 0.14):
   Profile/Applications/Developer applications/
      Homepage URL: http://jenkins-mustermann:8080/
      Authorization callback URL: http://jenkins-mustermann:8080/securityRealm/finishLogin
      Application description: OAuth Mustermann

CSRF: disabled

My Result on http://jenkins-mustermann:8080/github-webhook/? after "Test Hook" on GitHub

Status Code: 500

That URL cannot be accessed outside of your LAN. GitHub's servers most
likely are outside your local LAN.

Um, no, this part is where you need to have a public domain pointing to
an external IP address, and appropriate firewall configuration (or,
better, a reverse proxy).

These two things are unrelated.

If you want to use "Test Hook" on GitHub, first enable some logging on
the Jenkins side, and then check the logs after.

If you want to test locally, well, you did.

Yes, this is expected. (Stupid, IMHO, but expected. If I had enough
spare time and energy, I'd submit a patch to the plugin to make this
page show something meaningful when browsed interactively, perhaps show
whether/when it was last accessed as a webhook.)

The externally-accessible webhook URL bit, see above.

Thank you very much!!!!!! :-)

Hi stefan,

 

I am also trying to trigger a build job on my local jenkins server from Github webhook.

So could you please tell how to make jenkins to publically accesible.

 

Thanks,

Sameer Chandekar
