Automating Jenkins Installation Steps

[Karthik Veeragoni]

Hi guys,

I'm trying to automate jenkins installations steps
So as part of that I'm stuck at: Giving the initial Administration Key, Plugins Installation, User Account Creation
How can I automate these steps, any help?

Thanks & Regards

it really depends on the tool you are using to automate it. e.g: https://supermarket.chef.io/cookbooks/jenkins  (if using chef). Unless you are coming up with your own way. Then it needs more info in your request

If you're using a Docker image (my preference), then you can refer to https://github.com/MarkEWaite/docker/tree/lts-with-plugins for an example that configures a current Jenkins LTS installation with plugins installed, no user account, and no security.

If you run that docker image once, connect to that unsecured instance, configure security, create user accounts, etc., you can then copy the configuration files from that docker image to your own image.  When you build that docker image, you'll have a Jenkins image secured the way you want, with the default user accounts you want.

After installation of jenkins, when for the first time we access the Jenkins web UI, we will go through following steps:
1. Pasting Administrator Key from a secret file on to the Web UI
2. Plugins Installation {Default or Custom}
3. User Account creation

My intention is to use automate those without the user interaction by using any tool like for example: ansible,chef,puppet  etc...

Refer to https://www.codeproject.com/articles/1056410/setup-configure-jenkins-for-your-team-in-automated as a possible guide for Ansible.

https://groups.google.com/d/msg/jenkinsci-users/sRq2kiQscVE/qMvllU5vAgAJ provides the link for a chef cookbook.

http://puppet-jenkins.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html seems to be a puppet module
