Example code that together can achieve Jenkins as Code, with #PipelineAsCode & #ConfigurationAsCode.

Jenkins as Code

This repository contains example code that is discussed on my personal homepage.

The blogs can be found here:

Docker compose

Before we start, make sure that we set an environment variable named EXPORTED_PASSWORD which contains the contents of the SSH private key. In my case, my private key that has access to Github is ~/.ssh/wd_id_rsa. So my command looks like:

export EXPORTED_PASSWORD=$(cat ~/.ssh/wd_id_rsa)

Once done, execute the docker compose command:

cd server
docker compose up -d
