Jenkins

Jenkins is an award-winning application that monitors executions of repeated jobs, such as building a software project or jobs run by cron. Among those things, current Jenkins focuses on building/testing software projects continuously (e.g., like CruiseControl) and monitoring executions of externally-run jobs.

This appliance includes all the standard features in TurnKey Core, and on top of that:

• Jenkins configurations:

  • Jenkins is installed from the Long Term Support package repository managed directly by the Jenkins project.

    Security note: Updates to Jenkins may require supervision so they ARE NOT configured to install automatically. See below for updating Jenkins.

  • Jenkins is preconfigured to use PAM authentication.

  • Includes all popular VCS clients and related Jenkins plugins for Git, Bazaar, Mercurial and Subversion.

  • JENKINS_HOME configured in environment: /var/lib/jenkins.

  • jenkins-cli bash wrapper script - can now use 'jenkins-cli' instead of 'java -jar path/to/jenkins-cli.jar' (convenience).

• SSL support out of the box.

• Includes postfix MTA (bound to localhost) for sending of email (e.g. password recovery).

• Webmin modules for configuring Apache and Postfix.
