DevOps Flow

What is Continuous Integration?

It is a DevOps software development. It contains some combination of tools such as the Version Control System, Builds server, and testing automation tools.

It is a practice that could be achieved. Combination of CI tool, configuration management tool, and orchestration tool.

How to Install Jenkins on AWS EC2

Jenkins is a self-contained Java-based program. Use Jenkins ci/cd pipeline for any project.

Prerequisites

Amazon EC2 Instance

• EC2 with Internet Access
• Security Group with Port 8080 open for internet

Java

• Version 1.8.x

Install Java on Amazon EC2

Get the latest version from here.

[root@Jenkins_Server ~]# yum install java-1.8*

You need to confirm Java Version and set the java home in Linux.

# find java version on Linux
[root@Jenkins_Server ~]# find /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8* | head -n 3
# To set JAVA_HOME it permanently update your .bash_profile
[root@Jenkins_Server ~]# vi ~/.bash_profile
[root@Jenkins_Server ~]# java -version

# Result, The output should be something like this
[root@Jenkins_Server ~]# find /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8* | head -n 3
 /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.232.b09-0.el7_7.x86_64
 /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.232.b09-0.el7_7.x86_64/jre
 /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.232.b09-0.el7_7.x86_64/jre/bin

[root@Jenkins_Server ~]# cat ~/.bash_profile
# .bash_profile
# Get the aliases and functions
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
         . ~/.bashrc
fi
# User specific environment and startup programs
JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.232.b09-0.el7_7.x86_64
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:$JAVA_HOME
export PATH

[root@Jenkins_Server ~]# java -version
openjdk version "1.8.0_232"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_232-b09)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.232-b09, mixed mode)

[root@~]# echo $JAVA_HOME
/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.232.b09-0.el7_7.x86_64

Install Jenkins on Amazon EC2

Get the latest version of Jenkins from here. You can install Jenkins using the rpm or by setting up the repo.

[root@Jenkins_Server ~]# yum -y install wget
[root@Jenkins_Server ~]# sudo wget -O /etc/yum.repos.d/jenkins.repo https://pkg.jenkins.io/redhat-stable/jenkins.repo
[root@Jenkins_Server ~]# sudo rpm --import https://pkg.jenkins.io/redhat-stable/jenkins.io.key
[root@Jenkins_Server ~]# yum -y install jenkins

Start Jenkins

[root@Jenkins_Server ~]# service jenkins start
[root@Jenkins_Server ~]# chkconfig jenkins on

Accessing Jenkins from Browser

By default, Jenkins runs at port 8080

http://[YOUR-SERVER]or [PUBLIC-IP]:8080

Configure Jenkins

• The default Username is admin
• Grab the default password
• Password Location:/var/lib/jenkins/secrets/initialAdminPassword
• Skip Plugin Installation;

Change admin password

Configure java path

Manage Jenkins > Global Tool Configuration > JDK

How to Run First Jenkins Job

I use to create a Jenkins job simple. step by step as in the example picture below.

Example, “Test_Jenkins_Job” job.

In Build –> select “execute shell”

Click Build Now

Configure Git plugin for Jenkins

Git is a version control system. It is an open-source tool. You can pull code from git repo using Jenkins.

Install git packages on the Jenkins server

[root@Jenkins_Server ~]# yum install git -y

Setup Git on Jenkins console

Install the git plugin without a restart. For this tutorial, I use the Gitlab plugin (example)

Manage Jenkins > Jenkins Plugins > available > gitlab

Configure git path

Manage Jenkins > Global Tool Configuration > git

Install and configure Maven for Jenkins

Maven is a software project management and comprehension tool. It is a code-build tool used to convert your code to an artifact.

Install Maven on Jenkins

Download maven packages here.

[root@Jenkins_Server ~]# mkdir /opt/maven
[root@Jenkins_Server ~]# cd /opt/maven
[root@Jenkins_Server ~]# wget https://www-us.apache.org/dist/maven/maven-3/3.6.3/binaries/apache-maven-3.6.3-bin.tar.gz
[root@Jenkins_Server ~]# tar -xvzf apache-maven-3.6.3-bin.tar.gz

Set up MAVEN_HOME and MAVEN2 paths in the .bash_profile of the user.

vi ~/.bash_profile


#### Example add variable maven path
# Add vairable maven here
MAVEN_HOME=/opt/maven/apache-maven-3.6.3
MAVEN2=$MAVEN_HOME/bin

PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:$JAVA_HOME:$MAVEN2
export PATH

Check maven version

[root@Jenkins_Server ~]# mvn --version
Apache Maven 3.6.3 (cecedd343002696d0abb50b32b541b8a6ba2883f)
Maven home: /opt/maven/apache-maven-3.6.3
Java version: 1.8.0_232, vendor: Oracle Corporation, runtime: /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.232.b09-0.el7_7.x86_64/jre

OS name: "linux", version: "3.10.0-1062.9.1.el7.x86_64", arch: "amd64", family: "unix"

Setup maven on Jenkins console

Install Maven plugin without restart

Manage Jenkins > Jenkins Plugins > available > choice Maven Invoker and Maven Integration

Configure maven path
