Continuous Integration with Jenkins

Jenkins deployment on Kubernetes

This example lives in the pulumi/examples repository. Check out just this directory to use it:

Get started with this example
git clone --filter=blob:none --sparse https://github.com/pulumi/examples pulumi-examples
git -C pulumi-examples sparse-checkout set kubernetes-py-jenkins
cd pulumi-examples/kubernetes-py-jenkins

This example deploys a container running the Jenkins continuous integration system onto a running Kubernetes cluster using Pulumi and @pulumi/kubernetes.

Running the App#

Follow the steps in Pulumi Installation and Setup and Configuring Pulumi Kubernetes to get setup with Pulumi and Kubernetes.

Note: The code in this repo assumes you are deploying to a cluster that supports the LoadBalancer service type. This includes most cloud providers as well as Docker for Mac Edge w/ Kubernetes. If not (for example if you are targeting minikube or your own custom Kubernetes cluster), replace type: "LoadBalancer" with type: "ClusterIP" in jenkins.ts. See the Kubernetes Services docs for more details.

Create a new stack:

Terminal window
$ pulumi stack init dev

Create configuration keys for the root username and password for the Jenkins instance we are about to create:

Terminal window
$ pulumi config set username <your desired username>
$ pulumi config set password <your desired password> --secret

Configure Kubernetes to run without Minikube:

Terminal window
$ pulumi config set isMinikube false

Preview the deployment of the application:

Terminal window
$ pulumi preview
Previewing update (dev):
Type Name Plan
+ pulumi:pulumi:Stack kubernetes-py-jenkins-dev create
+ └─ jenkins:jenkins:Instance dev create
+ ├─ kubernetes:core:Service dev-service create
+ ├─ kubernetes:core:PersistentVolumeClaim dev-pvc create
+ ├─ kubernetes:core:Secret dev-secret create
+ └─ kubernetes:apps:Deployment dev-deploy create
Resources:
+ 6 to create

Perform the deployment:

Terminal window
$ pulumi up --skip-preview
Updating (dev):
Type Name Status
+ pulumi:pulumi:Stack kubernetes-py-jenkins-dev created
+ └─ jenkins:jenkins:Instance dev created
+ ├─ kubernetes:core:PersistentVolumeClaim dev-pvc created
+ ├─ kubernetes:core:Service dev-service created
+ ├─ kubernetes:core:Secret dev-secret created
+ └─ kubernetes:apps:Deployment dev-deploy created
Outputs:
external_ip: "35.239.72.50"
Resources:
+ 6 created
Duration: 1m57s

The deployment is complete! Use pulumi stack output external_ip to see the IP of the Service that we just deployed:

Terminal window
$ pulumi stack output external_ip
35.239.72.50

The Jenkins instance we just deployed is reachable through port 80 of the external IP address. You can now visit http://35.239.72.50/login in a Web browser to begin the first-install flow for your new Jenkins instance. You can use the username and password that you saved in your Pulumi config to log in to your new Jenkins instance.

Note: If you are deploying to a cluster that does not support type: "LoadBalancer", and deployed the example using type: "ClusterIP" instead, run kubectl port-forward svc/jenkins 8080:80 to forward the cluster port to the local machine and access the service via localhost:8080.

When you’re ready to be done with Jenkins, you can destroy the instance:

Terminal window
$ pulumi destroy
Destroying (dev):
Type Name Status
- pulumi:pulumi:Stack kubernetes-py-jenkins-dev deleted
- └─ jenkins:jenkins:Instance dev deleted
- ├─ kubernetes:core:Secret dev-secret deleted
- ├─ kubernetes:core:Service dev-service deleted
- ├─ kubernetes:core:PersistentVolumeClaim dev-pvc deleted
- └─ kubernetes:apps:Deployment dev-deploy deleted
Outputs:
- external_ip: "35.239.72.50"
Resources:
- 6 deleted
Duration: 33s
