Jenkins ansible playbooks

A collection of playbooks to install:

• Oracle JDK 1.8
• Jenkins server 2.75 with required plugins (blue ocean by default)

Requirements

• Vagrant 1.9.7
• VirtualBox 5.1.22
• Ansible 2.3.2.0

How to run

• install required roles

  ansible-galaxy install -r requirements.yml
  

• provision a VM and apply playbooks

  vagrant up
  

• backup Jenkins configuration from VM to localhost

   ansible-playbook backup-jenkins.yml -i .vagrant/provisioners/ansible/inventory/vagrant_ansible_inventory -vv --extra-vars "command=pull"
  

• restore Jenkins configuration from localhost to a VM

   ansible-playbook backup-jenkins.yml -i .vagrant/provisioners/ansible/inventory/vagrant_ansible_inventory -vv --extra-vars "command=push"
  

Tips

Sometimes you may need to increase access permissions to /var/lib/jenkins after restoring a backup to a VM
