Create Jenkins Docker Image with pre configured jobs
docker, jenkins, pipeline
Solution
For anyone who is interested - I found a better solution. I simply map the jobs folder to a folder on my host, that way I can put the created jobs into source control and edit then add them without having to build a new docker image.
Sorted.
Problem
I have created a bunch of Local deployment pipeline jobs, these jobs do things like remove an existing container, build a service locally, build a docker image, run the container - etc. These are not CI/CD jobs, just small pipelines for deploying locally during dev. What I want to do now is make this available to all our devs, so they can just simply spin up a local instance of jenkins that already contains the jobs. My docker file is reasonably straight forward... ``` FROM jenkins:latest USER root RUN apt-get update RUN apt-get install -y sudo RUN echo "jenkins ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL" >> /etc/sudoers # Docker RUN apt-get update RUN apt-get dist-upgrade -y RUN apt-get install apt-transport-https ca-certificates -y RUN sh -c "echo deb https://apt.dockerproject.org/repo debian-jessie main > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list" RUN apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://p80.pool.sks-keyservers.net:80 --recv-keys 58118E89F3A912897C070ADBF76221572C52609D RUN apt-get update RUN apt-cache policy docker-engine RUN apt-get install docker-engine -y # .NET Core CLI dependencies RUN echo "deb [arch=amd64] http://llvm.org/apt/jessie/ llvm-toolchain-jessie-3.6 main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/llvm.list \ && wget -q -O - http://llvm.org/apt/llvm-snapshot.gpg.key|apt-key add - \ && apt-get update \ && apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends \ clang-3.5 \ libc6 \ libcurl3 \ libgcc1 \ libicu52 \ liblldb-3.6 \ liblttng-ust0 \ libssl1.0.0 \ libstdc++6 \ libtinfo5 \ libunwind8 \ libuuid1 \ zlib1g \ && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* #DotNetCore RUN curl -sSL -o dotnet.tar.gz https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=847105 RUN mkdir -p /opt/dotnet && tar zxf dotnet.tar.gz -C /opt/dotnet RUN ln -s /opt/dotnet/dotnet /usr/local/bin # Minimal Jenkins Plugins RUN /usr/local/bin/install-plugins.sh git matrix-auth workflow-aggregator docker-workflow blueocean credentials-binding # Skip initial setup ENV JAVA_OPTS -Djenkins.install.runSetupWizard=false COPY LocallyDeployIdentityConfig.xml /var/jenkins_home/jobs/identity/config.xml USER jenkins ``` What I thought I could do is simply copy a job config file into the /jobs/jobname folder and the job would appear, but not only does this not appear, but now I cannot manually create jobs either. I now get a java.io.IOException "No such file or directory" - Note when I exec into the running container, the job and jobname directories exist and my config file is in there. Any ideas?
