Configure Jenkins slave through ssh gateway

[Gergo]

Hi,

I'm new to Jenkins and have the following problem. What do you think
is the best way to configure in a Jenkins slave which is behind a
gateway? To reach my test environment I need to go through a gateway.
It would be great to somehow configure in the RemoteMachine (which is
located behind the gateway) as a slave. Can I somehow configure in an
ssh tunnel in Jenkins which could be used to reach the RemoteMachine?

Example
LocalMachine (Jenkins CI Server) <---(ssh)---> Gateway <---(ssh)--->
RemoteMachine (TestServer)

Thanks for the help!

My jenkins machine is behind a firewall, and I use the -D option of
ssh to set up a socks5 proxy I can point firefox to to get connected
to jenkins

HTH,
Andrew

Click the advanced button in the slave node configuration. There is a tunnel configuration option for you.

Hi,

Thanks for the quick answers.
I found the "Tunnel connection through" configuration parameter in the
"Launch method -> Launch slave agents via Java Web Start". I really
wanted something similar but in the "Launch method -> Launch slave
agents on Unix machines via SSH". I came across these parameters:
"Prefix Start Slave Command", "Suffix Start Slave Command". Sadly I
had a really old version of Jenkins which was missing these very cool
options. With these I could execute an ssh command just before the
slave started.

Thanks,
Gergo

I dunno if it can or can't work, but give a try for $HOME/.ssh/config and ProxyCommand on master.
