Jenkins Challenge 🔧💻🎰📬

Hey guys! We have a nice Challenge for you :)

Here is the situation: Our Jenkins box on AWS (Amazon Web Services) isn't working.

But no fear! You already built your own Jenkins!

The weekend Challenge is:

Create your own Jenkins Box locally (with your vagrant up) Set up a Webhooks from GitHub to trigger a build in Jenkins

The Challenge will include:

• generating SSH keys to authenticate Webhooks

• Opening up your laptop & virtual Machine to receive said Webhook

• Allow access (firewall)

Make sure you set:

{ GitHub }

    |
    |  [SSH, firewall, fixed IP address]
    |
  \ | /
   \ /

[ My computer ] | [[ Jenkins 192]]

We want Jenkins to trigger a build (we are not actually going to build anything) when a change happens in the GitHub repo.

Create a instance of Jenkins ( done - vagrant up)

• make sure it has plugin for GitHub

Generate keys so it can communicate securely with GitHub

• Figure out how GitHub will communicate with the machine that is INSIDE you machine

Fire walls, IP addresses

Environment Variable setting: creating one: MY_VAR=hello

Calling:

echo $MY_VAR

hello

Running programs to be saved as variables:

Example:

• FPaiva@lt-rich-w133 MINGW64 ~ $ DIR=$(pwd)

• FPaiva@lt-rich-w133 MINGW64 ~ $ echo $DIR /c/Users/FPaiva

• FPaiva@lt-rich-w133 MINGW64 ~ $ ANOTHER_VAR=$(ls dat)

• FPaiva@lt-rich-w133 MINGW64 ~ $ echo $ANOTHER_VAR ntuser.dat.LOG1 ntuser.dat.LOG2
