wcm_io_devops.jenkins_pipeline_library

This role is a utility roles to setup jenkins instances for the usage of the wcm-io-devops jenkins-pipeline-library.

This role installs all necessary plugins in specific versions which ensures that the shared pipeline library is always running with the latest compatible plugins.

:exclamation: Starting with version 2.138.1-1 the role will also configure the script security to allow some signatures!

Optionally the role also directly setups a Jenkins instance using geerlingguy.jenkins.

Versioning

The Version number will follow the following versioning schema:

[JenkinsVersion]-[ReleaseCount]

So for example:

2.107.2-1 - first release for Jenkins 2.107.2
2.107.2-2 - second release for Jenkins 2.107.2
2.107.2-N - nth release for Jenkins 2.107.2
2.121.3-1 - first release for Jenkins 2.121.3

Requirements

This role requires Ansible 2.4 or higher and a running Jenkins on the target instance. If this role is taking care about the jenkins installation process you need to have java installed on the target machine. Please also have a look at https://github.com/geerlingguy/ansible-role-jenkins.

For the java installation we recommend:

Role Variables

Available variables are listed below, along with their default values:

jenkins_pipeline_library_jenkins_version: # see defaults.yaml for up-to-date value

The version of the jenkins when it is installed with the jenkins role dependency.

jenkins_pipeline_library_jenkins_install: false

Controls if the jenkins will be installed by the jenkins role dependency.

jenkins_pipeline_library_jenkins_process_user: jenkins

Linux jenkins user.

jenkins_pipeline_library_jenkins_process_group: "{{ jenkins_pipeline_library_jenkins_process_user }}"

jenkins_pipeline_library_jenkins_home: /var/lib/jenkins

Path to the jenkins directory.

jenkins_pipeline_library_jenkins_hostname: localhost

Hostname of the jenkins instance.

jenkins_pipeline_library_jenkins_port: 8080

HTTP port of the jenkins instance.

jenkins_pipeline_library_jenkins_url_prefix: ""

Url prefix of the jenkins instance, e.g. when running in tomcat.

jenkins_pipeline_library_jenkins_update_dir: "{{ jenkins_pipeline_library_jenkins_home }}/updates"

Path to the jenkins update directory.

jenkins_pipeline_library_jenkins_base_url: "http://{{ jenkins_facts_jenkins_hostname }}:{{ jenkins_facts_jenkins_port }}{{ jenkins_facts_jenkins_url_prefix }}"

The base url of the jenkins instance.

jenkins_pipeline_library_updates_expiration: 86400

Maximum seconds since the last jenkins plugin update check.

jenkins_pipeline_library_updates_timeout: 60

Timeout for jenkins update operation.

jenkins_pipeline_library_debug: false

When set to enable the role will log some debug information.

jenkins_pipeline_library_plugins_present: [...]

Plugins and their versions that must be present for jenkins-pipeline-library.

jenkins_pipeline_library_approved_signatures_present:

Signatures that need to be approved for jenkins-pipeline-library, otherwise the signatures will be blocked by script-security.

:bulb: Since this list is long please refer to defaults

jenkins_pipeline_library_plugins_absent: []

Plugins that must be absent for jenkins-pipeline-library.

Dependencies

This role depends on the wcm_io_devops.jenkins_plugins role to install/uninstall the plugins needed by the jenkins-pipeline-library

In order to allow to run the jenkins-pipeline-library with the Pipeline Supporting APIs 1.18+ (workflow-support) and with Script Security ( script-security) 1.44+ this role also depends on wcm_io_devops.jenkins_script_plugin for whitelisting some signatures in the Groovy Sandbox.

For installing a Jenkins on the target instance the role is using geerlingguy.jenkins.

As transitive dependency this role uses the wcm_io_devops.jenkins_facts role to retrieve the list of installed plugins from the Jenkins instance.

Example Playbook

Prepares the Jenkins instance for the use of the https://github.com/wcm-io-devops/jenkins-pipeline-library on a debian based OS.
