How to trigger remote deploy using Jenkins on another server

[Ricky LI]

Hello,

I got a problem with jenkins. Now I have a jenkins server running, pulling source code from our SVN server, the builds are successfully done.

However, there's some other scripts  ( or deployment) on the SVN server that need to be executed once all projects are built successfully, how could I tell jenkins to trigger automatically these scripts on a remote server to deploy everything after builds ?

If anyone knows the how, I will appreciate the help, thanks !

You could create another job that calls those scripts and schedule it to run after the builds are

finished.

You could do that either by scheduling the build as a downstream inside your pipeline, or by configuring it to build

after the specified jobs are finished.

thank you for your reply.

so if my understanding is correct, I can do this by configuring an agent on that remote server, so this job runs on that server ? this is the only way I know for Jenkins to remotely access another machine to perform tasks

Correct, you can configure a new agent on the server SVN is installed, and configure the job to run only on that specific server.

Another way that you can use any configuration management tool to trigger the remote process, for me, I use Ansible, it's an agentless tool, you can also take a look on other tools such as puppet, chef or salt. Your scenario is quite usual, build (on Jenkins slave) => deploy (on other machine), usually we use those CM tool for the remote configuration.

If you're working on Windows, another way should be WinRM but you have to open the firewall that might loosen your security setting.
