Jenkins Chef recipe

Michael_Hayes · September 16, 2013, 10:22pm

I’ve been trying to setup a recipe to install Jenkins, install two plugs (git and github) and then setup a repository to accept webhooks from.

Jenkins cli has an issue with my hostname that it tries to use in the url (which is not resolvable).

If I set my ‘hostname’ to ‘0.0.0.0’ and run ‘knife solo cook’ on the recipe twice, it fails the first time and succeeds the second time.

Here’s my recipe:

github.com

hayesmp/jenkinsbox-cookbook/blob/master/recipes/jenkins.rb

#
# Cookbook Name:: rackbox
# Recipe:: jenkins
#
# Install and setup Jenkins environment
#
#include_recipe "apt"
include_recipe "java"
include_recipe "jenkins"


ip_address = node["rackbox"]["jenkins"]["ip_address"]
host = node["rackbox"]['jenkins']['host']
puts host

#`git config --global user.name "Your Name Here"`
#`git config --global user.email "your_email@example.com"`

#`hostname 0.0.0.0`
`wget -O default.js http://updates.jenkins-ci.org/update-center.json`

The question is, is there any way to get chef to do the entire jenkins setup before running my plugin install (an other setup), or do a simply have to run chef once (to a failure) and then a second time to success?

have you tried the plugins attribute? i am using it with ghprb plugins and
we have a wrapper cookbooks that uses the jenkins_job (rails, and jvm) ,
and it works pretty smooth for me.
