Jenkins admin notes

Some things to help on your Continuous Integration journey with Jenkins:

  • Use  docker pull jenkins  for a quick start
  • Security can be a bit fiddly to set up. Try these easy settings:
    • Jenkins’ own user database
    • Allow users to sign up
    • Logged-in users can do anything
  • There is a Role-Based Strategy plugin for more advanced use
  • If you accidentally lock yourself out, edit  $JENKINS_HOME/config.xml  to say false and restart Jenkins
  • To see a list of failing tests, configure a Post-build action for  "Publish JUnit test result report"

-- Jenkins ver. 1.642.2
