##Prerequisites:
- Packer
- Terraform
These can be installed using homebrew if you have it as follows:
brew tap unofficial-cask/hashicorp-tap git@github.com:unofficial-cask/hashicorp-tap.git
brew install packer
brew install terraform
The latest versions of each is fine.
##Running Instructions:
Set AWS Access Keys for use:
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=<my access key>
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=<my secret access key>
To Build the AMI for use in Terraform:
cd packer/
make ami
That will build an ami named ubuntu-jenkins-master-<date> in us-west-2
To build the environment:
cd ../terraform
make ssh-key
make plan
That should give an output ending:
Plan: 16 to add, 0 to change, 0 to destroy.
Then apply the changes if correct:
make apply
The output should look as follows (ignore the yellow text in Terraform 0.7.9 - that's an experimental feature we run in the backgroud that has no bearing on your infra!)
Apply complete! Resources: 16 added, 0 changed, 0 destroyed.
We print the Jenkins Address to the output. Take that address and put it into the browser and you will see a message that looks as follows:
To ensure Jenkins is securely set up by the administrator, a password has been written to the log (not sure where to find it?) and this file on the server:
To get the key, use the terminal output jenkins_ssh_instructions
e.g.
ssh -i ssh/jenkins ubuntu@35.162.20.42
sudo cat /var/lib/jenkins/secrets/initialAdminPassword
Put that password into the screen et voila!
