Framework of tools to enable continuous integration as code using Jenkins

An attempt to use Docker, shell scripting, REST APIs and some key Jenkins plugins to provide a stateless Jenkins Framework.

• Configure Jenkins nodes as configuration & code
  • Plugins
  • Users
  • Folders
  • Jobs
  • GitHub / GitLab Integration
• Generators for common components (Like the items above)
• Create a Stateless Jenkins node using Docker
• Useful tools that can be used in isolation
  • Clients for common CI REST API's
  • Admin scripts for Jenkins
  • Reusable Custom Jenkins Pipeline Steps and Libraries
• Reuses well established Jenkins Plugins
  • Job DSL Plugin
  • GitHub / GitLab Plugins
• Uses the lowest common denominator for the best portability
  • Scripts and components are written in Bash, using tools like wget and curl
  • Admin and Pipeline scripts use Groovy
  • Configuration using CSV/PSV files

• Framework uses the latest stable version of any Plugins, Shells and REST API's
• While components are as generic and configurable as possible, not everything will suit your use case
• Scripting can be done in Python or Powershell etc. but Bash is widly understood and is available for most Linux distros and OSX out of the box (and with a little work, Windows can also join the fun)
