Using Ansible to provision Jenkins

[Anthony Green]

I'm using Ansible to provision a machine with Jenkins within a Docker container

As part of the provisioning process I wait until Jenkins is running and then download the CLI to continue the provisioning  by executing CLI commands. 
The jar file is being downloaded to the host machine.

I was wondering if this was necessarily the best approach ?

Could the CLI jar be downloaded to my workstation instead and the commands executed from there?

Could I use Groovy scripts to provision the machine ?
Other suggestions?

hi anthony,

you can check delegation and local_action to download the jenkins cli to your local workstation:

naomi.
