Setting up jenkins is something pretty straight forward. But configuring with Nginx is not that easy. So in this post I'm trying to ease this up for you.
Before setting up jenkins I would recommend oracle java installation. So here how it begins.
Step 1
1.Download and install java.
sudo wget --no-cookies --no-check-certificate --header "Cookie: gpw_e24=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.oracle.com%2F; oraclelicense=accept-securebackup-cookie" "http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/8u31-b13/jdk-8u31-linux-x64.tar.gz"
2.untar jdk and create JAVA_HOME in ~/.bashrc
Step 2
Jenkins setup
1.
wget -q -O - https://jenkins-ci.org/debian/jenkins-ci.org.key | sudo apt-key add -
sudo sh -c 'echo deb http://pkg.jenkins-ci.org/debian binary/ > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jenkins.list'
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install jenkins
To start jenkins fire up following command.
sudo /etc/init.d/jenkins start
To check logs
tail -f /var/log/jenkins/jenkins.log
To check your jenkins is up and running.
http://<host>:8080/
Step 3
In order to config nginx with jenkins we have do some customization.
1. Stop jenkins
sudo /etc/init.d/jenkins stop
2. Open jenkins script and add --prefix=/jenkins into JENKINS_ARGS
JENKINS_ARGS="--webroot=/var/cache/jenkins/war --httpPort=$HTTP_PORT --ajp13Port=$AJP_PORT --prefix=/jenkins"
3. Install nginx
sudo aptitude -y install nginx
4. Remove default config and add following configuration
cd /etc/nginx/sites-available
sudo rm default ../sites-enabled/default
server {
listen 80; # Listen on port 80 for IPv4 requests
server_name 54.194.149.122;
location ~ "^/static/[0-9a-fA-F]{8}\/(.*)$" {
#rewrite all static files into requests to the root
#E.g /static/12345678/css/something.css will become /css/something.css
rewrite "^/static/[0-9a-fA-F]{8}\/(.*)" /$1 last;
}
location /userContent {
#have nginx handle all the static requests to the userContent folder files
#note : This is the $JENKINS_HOME dir
root /var/lib/jenkins/;
if (!-f $request_filename){
#this file does not exist, might be a directory or a /**view** url
rewrite (.*) /$1 last;
break;
}
sendfile on;
}
location /jenkins {
sendfile off;
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8080;
proxy_redirect default;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_max_temp_file_size 0;
#this is the maximum upload size
client_max_body_size 10m;
client_body_buffer_size 128k;
proxy_connect_timeout 90;
proxy_send_timeout 90;
proxy_read_timeout 90;
proxy_buffer_size 4k;
proxy_buffers 4 32k;
proxy_busy_buffers_size 64k;
proxy_temp_file_write_size 64k;
}
}
