add virtual host entry for (jetty) jenkins to ag-bie nginx

[mbohun]

NOTE: ag-bie ansible simple-jenkins role installs jetty+jenkins on 127.0.0.1:9192 the setup bellow will expose jenkins at:

• https://ag-bie.oztaxa.com/jenkins
• https://dev-ag-bie.oztaxa.com/jenkins

1. add location (virtual host) entry for jenkins to the nginx's /etc/nginx/sites-available/ag-bie.oztaxa.com.conf

   location ^~ /jenkins/ {
       # proxy_set_header Host $host;
       proxy_set_header Host ag-bie.oztaxa.com;
       proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
       proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
       proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Port $server_port;
       proxy_read_timeout 10m;
   
       # additions
       proxy_redirect http:// https://;
       sendfile off;
   
       # Required for new HTTP-based CLI
       proxy_http_version 1.1;
       proxy_request_buffering off;
       proxy_buffering off; # Required for HTTP-based CLI to work over SSL
   
       proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:9192/jenkins/;
   }
   

2. in /etc/defaults/jenkins add/append --prefix=$NAME to JENKINS_ARGS

   JENKINS_ARGS="--webroot=/var/cache/$NAME/war --httpPort=$HTTP_PORT --prefix=$PREFIX"

3. login to jenkins as admin:
   • click on Manage Jenkins
   • click on Configure System
   • in the Jenkins Location section in Jenkins URL enter: http://ag-bie.oztaxa.com/jenkins/
4. restart jenkins and nginx services

   $ sudo systemctl restart jenkins.service
   $ sudo systemctl restart nginx.service

alternative approach

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName example.com

    ProxyRequests On
    ProxyPass / http://localhost:8080/demo1/
    ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:8080/demo1/

    <Location "/sample">
      Order allow,deny
      Allow from all
    </Location>

</VirtualHost>

Jenkins is not using nginx and can be access using the /jenkins permalink against the hostname.
