How To Fix “Cannot get CSRF” When Installing Jenkins-Plugin Using Ansible

January 3, 2020 / / 0 Comments

Previous Ansible installation with jenkins_plugin will break with newer version of Jenkins. The workaround is as below before the jenkins_plugin step:

– name: disable csrf so we can install plugin
lineinfile:
path: /etc/default/jenkins
regexp: ‘JAVA_ARGS=”- Djava.awt.headless=true’
line: JAVA_ARGS=”- Djava.awt.headless=true – Dhudson.security.csrf.DefaultCrumbIssuer.EXCLUDE_SESSION_ID=true”


– name: restart jenkins
service:
name: jenkins
state: restarted


– pause:
minutes: 1

– name: Install plugins
jenkins_plugin:
name: “{{ item }}”
url_username: admin
url_password: “{{ jenkins_admin_password }}”
url: “{{ jenkins_url }}”
timeout: 90
with_items:
– artifactory

How To Set Up Jenkins 2.0 Master & Slaves On Docker

April 5, 2017 / / 0 Comments

Jenkins 2.0 Master In Docker

We can just use the Jenkins Docker official image, or you can just install Jenkins 2.0 normally.

 Jenkins Slave In Docker

Setup

  • Install Docker
  • Open up TCP port by adding the following in /etc/default/docker 
    DOCKER_OPTS="-H tcp://0.0.0.0:4243 -H unix:///var/run/docker.sock"
  • On Jenkins Master, install Docker Plugin on Master->Manage Jenkins->Manage Plugins
  • On Master->Manage Jenkins->Cloud configure the communication with Jenkins slave node
  • Docker URL is the IP of the Slave machine in TCP
  • Click on Test Connection, if successful will show the Docker version and Docker API versionDocker Plugin

 

  • Have Docker Jenkins Slave images in the slave box
  • On Master->Manage Jenkins->Manage Plugins->Cloud->Add Docker Template
  • The SSH credentials to access the Docker Jenkins Slave container is the Jenkins user setup in Dockerfile and Jenkins MasterScreen Shot 2017-03-27 at 4.29.05 PM
Docker Slave Image

There are some Docker images that you can use like Docker Slave image , or you can write your own Dockerfile.

Docker image contains a minimum of:

  • Ubuntu
  • Java
  • Jenkins user and password
  • Git
  • OpenSSH for Jenkins Master to SSH to Slave machine
  • Maven, Ruby, etc depends on what your project needs
  • Version managers like NPM or RVM cannot be installed in Docker due to we cannot “source” files like .bashrc

It is a sshd service running on port 22, therefore in the Dockerfile, you will need:

EXPOSE 22

CMD [“/usr/sbin/sshd”, “-D”]

Running
  • We restrict Jenkins jobs to run based on the label we give in Docker template
  • When job runs, Jenkins Master will spin up the Docker image on the Slave machine
  • When job completes, the Docker image will be terminated
  • Therefore, we can have multiple Docker images for different types of jobs, Ruby, Maven, NodeJS on a single Slave machine
