Jenkins Job-DSL

Prerequisites

• Installed plugin Jenkins Job-DSL

How to run

Build and Run Jenkins

git clone https://github.com/spy86/CI_CD
cd jenkins-casc
docker-compose build && docker-compose up -d

After a while, the jenkins image will be built and run. We can enter it using the address http://<IP-ADDRESS>:8089, when jenkins starts up, an empty jenkins dashboard will appear.

• The plugin that we will need to support Configuration as a Code is already installed when building the image, we can verify it in: Manage Jenkins -> Manage Plugins -> Installed. In filter field we need to type job dsl and installed plugin should be on the list

• We don't have a job that will allow us to create more jobs with Job DSL, so we need to create one.

NOTE: If we use Jenkins as a Code, we can define such a job in the main Jenkins configuration
