boxes-runner

This project makes running the standard set of boxes builds running easily. It provides scripts for configuring Jenkins and for running locally.

It can create a Jenkins job for each of the builds listed inside boxes.yml (with configure_jobs) and runs a build, taking the output and uploading it to Atlas (using atlas-ruby) (with run). With local, it can parse boxes.yml and run a single build or all builds.

jenkins.sh gives the script used to spawn the initial configuration job.

Usage

The expectation is that this project maintains all of the Jenkins jobs, so when changes are made here, they will be automatically propagated across the Jenkins instance. Otherwise it's a case of configuring some 8 or more jobs manually.

This project should be setup in Jenkins to run on each push, using something like the script contained in jenkins.sh.

Environment Variables

JENKINS_USERNAME: Username to login to the local Jenkins instance.
JENKINS_PASSWORD: Password for the above user.
NOTIFICATION_EMAIL: Email address to configure for build failure notifications.
BOXES_BUILD_TIME: Used to coordinate the time a set of builds is run.
ATLAS_USER: The user under which the box should be handled.
ATLAS_TOKEN: Token for accessing Atlas.

Locally

Whilst the above is relevant when using with Jenkins, running locally is similar. e.g.:

$ bin/local --list
precise64-standard (puppet.sh, chef.sh)
precise64-ansible (ansible.sh)
precise64-chef (chef.sh)

$ bin/local --run precise64-standard
Starting build for: precise64-standard--virtualbox...
precise64-standard-virtualbox output will be in this color.
[ ... ]

Run bin/local --help to see the other arguments.
