Jenkins Configuration-as-Code plugin

@halkeye

is your jenkins.yaml invalid then?

like remove that one and restart it

or are you saying something still has the value of jenkins.yaml?

I am new to JCasC and configured the helm to play with. It's really nice to get a full blown jenkins configured with artifactory - gitlab - vault all managed with Git. I am just struggling with one issue at the moment: using build trigger with a secret token for a build and configure a webhook in gitlab, it works fine one time and then the token is erased in the job configuration. Did anyone experienced this ?

@lvincel

nevermind I found the issue: jenkinsci/gitlab-plugin#925 This is a real show stopper for me :/

Hi, I'm new to JCasC. I'm able to setup Jenkins using Helm. Trying to understand what this setting master.JCasC.defaultConfig does. Which default Jenkins configuration does it enable? Does it overwrite any configuration that is set elsewhere? Any help would be appreciated.

Hello Folks, I am getting started with Jenkins as code, and running into an issue when trying it to connect it to a private repo: Cannot validate default version.
hudson.plugins.git.GitException: Command "git ls-remote -h -- git@github.com:company/Reponame.git" returned status code 128:
stdout:
stderr: Host key verification failed.

fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Is there a way to get around this issue. I got this error while trying to configure Global Pipeline Libraries on Jenkins 2.249.1

I know what the error is and how to solve it if Jenkins was running on a VM, but since this one is running on Docker, not sure what is the best/proper way to solve it. Thanks in advance folks

@lsllopez that usually means you attempted to access a repository that is secured with an ssh private key but provided a private key that is not authorized to access the repository

hi...i am new to this...please be patient with me....can anyone point me to a sample code where the job triggers when a merged commit is performed on a git repo?

howdy folks ... I have aspirations of setting up a jenkins instance from a "single click" using CASC .. Ansible and other things
I'm stuck with the configuration of (JNLP) agents using CASC.
I can define the agents AOK within CASC but I can't seem to connect them in an automated fashion due to JNLP containing a secret to connect to the master .. the secret requires CSRF Crumb to harvest ... to get crumb you need API token ... to get API token you need CSRF :-|
Which seems to be a cycle? or have I missed something

@MarkEWaite Thanks Mark, my question is how do I configured the ssh key into Jenkins yaml file?

credentials:
system:
domainCredentials:

  - credentials:
      - basicSSHUserPrivateKey:
          scope: SYSTEM
          id: ssh_with_passphrase_provided
          username: ssh_root
          passphrase: ${SSH_KEY_PASSWORD}
          description: "SSH passphrase with private key file. Private key provided"
          privateKeySource:
            directEntry:
              privateKey: ${SSH_PRIVATE_KEY}

Will this do the trick?

Is this the right forum to answer the below? If not, where should this be posted?

Have a look in the values.yaml file

@torstenwalter

It configure kubernetes cloud and sets other defaults. Content can be found in https://github.com/jenkinsci/helm-charts/blob/91a2a39971d62861e3b1bba8832ddb12fbe25249/charts/jenkins/templates/_helpers.tpl#L70-L163 It will be rendered as part of ConfigMap https://github.com/jenkinsci/helm-charts/blob/main/charts/jenkins/templates/jcasc-config.yaml

@Ibuamod_twitter

i know this is configuration as code .. is there something like pipeline as code .. where you go an convert all the pipelines in your jenkins as code and dump them into a new jenkins

hi guys ... anyone tried clamav plugin configuration in jcasc? i want to configure clamav in jcasc but there is no sample configure found . anyone help me out

Domagoj Smoljanovic

@dsmoljanovic

Hi all again. Anyone knows the syntax for CASC to implement nested views? I Can't manage to make it work, nor do they appear in the export of the configuration.
Thanx :)

Oleg Nenashev

@oleg-nenashev

Meeting today?

Tim Jacomb

@timja

only if you want one :)

Oleg Nenashev

@oleg-nenashev

looks like nope then

I hope to have something for the next meeting. I made some progress with Jenkinsfile Runner ecosystem, and there are many bits for Plugin Installation Manager - related things I would like to spend time on

Tim Jacomb

@timja

ah cool :)

Firstly, great plugin (thanks, looking forward to integration into core). I've configured our entire Jenkins successfully with it in combination with ansible.
Apologies if this is covered elsewhere, however I'm struggling to find out how to see if a plugin is supported, if no example exists in demos, I have read the section that I presume relates to this but I'm still unsure:

The Initial Configuration doc section for JCasC states:
"When configuring the first Jenkins instance, browse the examples shown in the demos directory of this repository. If you have a plugin that does not have an example, consult the reference help document. Click the Documentation link at the bottom of the Configuration as Code page."

Could you clarify what is meant by 'reference help document'?

Also the next sentence states 'Click the Documentation link at the bottom of the Configuration as Code page', I don't see this link when I'm browsing from https://github.com/jenkinsci/configuration-as-code-plugin

FYI: I would like to add splunk plugin https://plugins.jenkins.io/splunk-devops/ could someone share how we determine/identify the root element and associated attributes to configure this plugin (without an example present in the demos section) please, or point me to a relevant documentation that describes this in more detail? I've looked at a number of the source files within the plugin source, but it's still not clear to me, I've also read most of the md in the JCasC docs directory.

I'd favour a more general procedure in general, so that in future, should I come across any other plugins without examples, I'll be able to add without additional help. I'm happy to update the examples via a pull request if helpful after (if I find plugins that are supported).
Sorry for the long post :-)

Tim Jacomb

@timja

@jibbajabber the document link is 'Reference' and it's after you've installed it on the <jenkins-url>/configuration-as-code page

the general way to do it is to configure manually and then use the export button

jibbajabber

@jibbajabber

@timja Thanks! Much clearer, appreciate the pointer :-)

Tim Jacomb

@timja

feel free to send a PR to make any docs clearer, would be appreciated :)

re: adding demos see https://github.com/jenkinsci/configuration-as-code-plugin/tree/master/demos#contributing

it's not quite as simple as adding an md file, but they are tested so we know that they work, which gives a lot of value :)

Mark

@MarkRx

Hello. Is it possible to manage the Jenkins master.key with JCasC? Even better, can that secret be obtained from vault?

Tim Jacomb

@timja

no it's not currently

I'm trying to install snky with Jcasc

Does anyone know snyk install name?

i.e for Maven: maven:
installations:

  - name: "Maven 3"
    properties:
      - installSource:
          installers:
            - maven:
                id: "latest"

for jdk jdk:
installations:

  - name: "open-jdk8"
    properties:
      - installSource:
          installers:
            - adoptOpenJdkInstaller:
                id: "jdk8u232-b09"

for snyk, I tried snyk:
installations:

  - name: "snyk-latest"
    home: ""
    properties:
      - installSource:
          installers:
            - snykInstaller:
                id: "latest"

It stopped Jenkins

Ope Omotayo

@opeomotayo_gitlab

Is snykInstaller wrong?

I want to prevent clearing credentials during the config loading which are not listed in the YAML. Currently all credentials which are not in my YAML but have been in my Jenkins are cleared. How can I achieve a merge behaviour (i.e. only the ones with a given id are set/overwritten and other credential ids are left untouched)?

Mark

@MarkRx

Is there logging that I can turn on to figure out why JCasC takes so long to boot? It's taking 9 minutes on an empty Jenkins instance (with plugins) -

2020-10-28 22:42:56.916+0000 [id=48] INFO jenkins.model.Jenkins$5#runTask: Took 512763ms for ConfigurationAsCode.init by pool-10-thread-4

@halkeye

@kwin From my experience thats the default, how sure are you that jcasc is the one deleting the other credentials?

2 replies

actually i'm not sure, cause i think i was using a different credential provider before

Konrad Windszus

@kwin

I am gonna open an issue then for making that possible

Gavin Mogan

@halkeye

i guess its setting the array of credentials, so replacing the entire list

Hi Everybody, wonder if you have a sample about adding nerwork(docker settings) to docker template
clouds:

- docker:
    name: "docker"
    dockerApi:
      dockerHost:
        uri: "tcp://proxy1:2375"
    templates:
      - labelString: "slave"
        name: "docker"
        dockerTemplateBase:
         // ---->>>. need to add   network=abc.  at this level <<<-----
