Play! Framework – Deployment using Jenkins [Installation and Configuration]

System requirement:

• Java 7 or higher

 

1. Jenkins installation

   sudo wget -O /etc/yum.repos.d/jenkins.repo http://pkg.jenkins-ci.org/redhat-stable/jenkins.repo
   sudo rpm --import https://jenkins-ci.org/redhat/jenkins-ci.org.key
   sudo yum install jenkins
   

2. Add jenkins to startup and then start

   sudo chkconfig jenkins on
   sudo service jenkins start
   

3. Check if Jenkins had been running, go to http://your_ip:8080/

   

4. Configure JDK
   Go to Manage Jenkins – Configure System. In JDK section set java home.
   
5. Add ssh configuration (for git)

   cd /var/lib/jenkins/
   sudo mkdir .ssh
   sudo nano config
   

   Fill config file with

   Host repo your_git_ip
       HostName your_git_ip
       IdentityFile /var/lib/jenkins/.ssh/your_git_key
       User your_git_username
   

   Tes ssh config

   sudo su -s /bin/bash jenkins
   git ls-remote -h ssh://your_git_username@your_git_ip/your_git.git HEAD
   

   If result is are “too open”, change your_git_key permission to 600
   Change owner of config and key

   sudo chown jenkins:jenkins your_git_key
   sudo chown jenkins:jenkins config
   

6. Get activator
   download activator

   wget http://downloads.typesafe.com/typesafe-activator/1.3.5/typesafe-activator-1.3.5-minimal.zip
   

   unzip to /opt and change owner jenkins:jenkins

   chown jenkins:jenkins -R activator-1.3.5-minimal/
   

7. Setup security
   Manage Jenkins -> Configure Global Security, check Enable security
   
   Choose Jenkins’ own user database, check Allow users to sign up (only once)
   
   Choose Anyone can do anything (only once)
   
8. Go to home page and sign up for the first time user (will be an administrator)
9. Add credential to admin
   Manage Jenkins -> Configure Global Security, at the Authorization section check Matrix-based security.
   Add the newly registered user and configure as admin (check all)
   
   From now if there is a new user, we must set their access level, so they can use Jenkins.
10. Add Jenkins Plugins
    Manage Jenkins -> Manage Plugins, search in tab Available
    Install this plugin:
    git (GIT plugin) https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Git+Plugin
    git-parameter (Git Parameter Plug-In) https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Git+Parameter+Plugin
    publish-over-ssh (Publish Over SSH) https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Publish+Over+SSH+Plugin
    Play!Framework plugin, go to tab advanced, at Upload Plugin section upload the plugin (download at https://github.com/rafaelrezend/rafaelrezend.github.io/raw/7e3a98bad985b055e2bd7cc7d97e4dcb3b9b9cb4/images/play-plugin/play-plugin.hpi )
    
11. Restart Jenkins server

    sudo service jenkins restart
