 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## First Steps
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Prepare your Kubernetes cluster and set up access.
 | 
						|
Once you have running Kubernetes cluster you can focus on installing **jenkins-operator** according to the [Installation](installation.md) guide.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Deploy Jenkins
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Once jenkins-operator is up and running let's deploy actual Jenkins instance.
 | 
						|
Create manifest ie. **jenkins_instance.yaml** with following data and save it on drive.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```bash
 | 
						|
apiVersion: jenkins.io/v1alpha2
 | 
						|
kind: Jenkins
 | 
						|
metadata:
 | 
						|
  name: example
 | 
						|
spec:
 | 
						|
  master:
 | 
						|
    containers:
 | 
						|
    - name: jenkins-master
 | 
						|
      image: jenkins/jenkins:lts
 | 
						|
      imagePullPolicy: Always
 | 
						|
      livenessProbe:
 | 
						|
        failureThreshold: 12
 | 
						|
        httpGet:
 | 
						|
          path: /login
 | 
						|
          port: http
 | 
						|
          scheme: HTTP
 | 
						|
        initialDelaySeconds: 80
 | 
						|
        periodSeconds: 10
 | 
						|
        successThreshold: 1
 | 
						|
        timeoutSeconds: 5
 | 
						|
      readinessProbe:
 | 
						|
        failureThreshold: 3
 | 
						|
        httpGet:
 | 
						|
          path: /login
 | 
						|
          port: http
 | 
						|
          scheme: HTTP
 | 
						|
        initialDelaySeconds: 30
 | 
						|
        periodSeconds: 10
 | 
						|
        successThreshold: 1
 | 
						|
        timeoutSeconds: 1
 | 
						|
      resources:
 | 
						|
        limits:
 | 
						|
          cpu: 1500m
 | 
						|
          memory: 3Gi
 | 
						|
        requests:
 | 
						|
          cpu: "1"
 | 
						|
          memory: 500Mi
 | 
						|
  seedJobs:
 | 
						|
  - id: jenkins-operator
 | 
						|
    targets: "cicd/jobs/*.jenkins"
 | 
						|
    description: "Jenkins Operator repository"
 | 
						|
    repositoryBranch: master
 | 
						|
    repositoryUrl: https://github.com/jenkinsci/kubernetes-operator.git
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Deploy Jenkins to K8s:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```bash
 | 
						|
kubectl create -f jenkins_instance.yaml
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
Watch Jenkins instance being created:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```bash
 | 
						|
kubectl get pods -w
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Get Jenkins credentials:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```bash
 | 
						|
kubectl get secret jenkins-operator-credentials-<cr_name> -o 'jsonpath={.data.user}' | base64 -d
 | 
						|
kubectl get secret jenkins-operator-credentials-<cr_name> -o 'jsonpath={.data.password}' | base64 -d
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Connect to Jenkins (minikube):
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```bash
 | 
						|
minikube service jenkins-operator-http-<cr_name> --url
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Connect to Jenkins (actual Kubernetes cluster):
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```bash
 | 
						|
kubectl port-forward jenkins-<cr_name> 8080:8080
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
Then open browser with address http://localhost:8080.
 | 
						|

 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Configure Seed Jobs and Pipelines
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Jenkins operator uses [job-dsl][job-dsl] and [kubernetes-credentials-provider][kubernetes-credentials-provider] plugins for configuring jobs
 | 
						|
and deploy keys.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Prepare job definitions and pipelines
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
First you have to prepare pipelines and job definition in your GitHub repository using the following structure:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
cicd/
 | 
						|
├── jobs
 | 
						|
│   └── build.jenkins
 | 
						|
└── pipelines
 | 
						|
    └── build.jenkins
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
**cicd/jobs/build.jenkins** it's a job definition:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
#!/usr/bin/env groovy
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
pipelineJob('build-jenkins-operator') {
 | 
						|
    displayName('Build jenkins-operator')
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    definition {
 | 
						|
        cpsScm {
 | 
						|
            scm {
 | 
						|
                git {
 | 
						|
                    remote {
 | 
						|
                        url('https://github.com/jenkinsci/kubernetes-operator.git')
 | 
						|
                        credentials('jenkins-operator')
 | 
						|
                    }
 | 
						|
                    branches('*/master')
 | 
						|
                }
 | 
						|
            }
 | 
						|
            scriptPath('cicd/pipelines/build.jenkins')
 | 
						|
        }
 | 
						|
    }
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
**cicd/jobs/build.jenkins** it's an actual Jenkins pipeline:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
#!/usr/bin/env groovy
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
def label = "build-jenkins-operator-${UUID.randomUUID().toString()}"
 | 
						|
def home = "/home/jenkins"
 | 
						|
def workspace = "${home}/workspace/build-jenkins-operator"
 | 
						|
def workdir = "${workspace}/src/github.com/jenkinsci/kubernetes-operator/"
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
podTemplate(label: label,
 | 
						|
        containers: [
 | 
						|
                containerTemplate(name: 'jnlp', image: 'jenkins/jnlp-slave:alpine'),
 | 
						|
                containerTemplate(name: 'go', image: 'golang:1-alpine', command: 'cat', ttyEnabled: true),
 | 
						|
        ],
 | 
						|
        envVars: [
 | 
						|
                envVar(key: 'GOPATH', value: workspace),
 | 
						|
        ],
 | 
						|
        ) {
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    node(label) {
 | 
						|
        dir(workdir) {
 | 
						|
            stage('Init') {
 | 
						|
                timeout(time: 3, unit: 'MINUTES') {
 | 
						|
                    checkout scm
 | 
						|
                }
 | 
						|
                container('go') {
 | 
						|
                    sh 'apk --no-cache --update add make git gcc libc-dev'
 | 
						|
                }
 | 
						|
            }
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
            stage('Dep') {
 | 
						|
                container('go') {
 | 
						|
                    sh 'make dep'
 | 
						|
                }
 | 
						|
            }
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
            stage('Test') {
 | 
						|
                container('go') {
 | 
						|
                    sh 'make test'
 | 
						|
                }
 | 
						|
            }
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
            stage('Build') {
 | 
						|
                container('go') {
 | 
						|
                    sh 'make build'
 | 
						|
                }
 | 
						|
            }
 | 
						|
        }
 | 
						|
    }
 | 
						|
}
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Configure Seed Jobs
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Jenkins Seed Jobs are configured using `Jenkins.spec.seedJobs` section from your custom resource manifest:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
apiVersion: jenkins.io/v1alpha2
 | 
						|
kind: Jenkins
 | 
						|
metadata:
 | 
						|
  name: example
 | 
						|
spec:
 | 
						|
  seedJobs:
 | 
						|
  - id: jenkins-operator
 | 
						|
    targets: "cicd/jobs/*.jenkins"
 | 
						|
    description: "Jenkins Operator repository"
 | 
						|
    repositoryBranch: master
 | 
						|
    repositoryUrl: https://github.com/jenkinsci/kubernetes-operator.git
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
**jenkins-operator** will automatically discover and configure all seed jobs.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
You can verify if deploy keys were successfully configured in Jenkins **Credentials** tab.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|

 | 
						|
 | 
						|
You can verify if your pipelines were successfully configured in Jenkins Seed Job console output.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|

 | 
						|
 | 
						|
If your GitHub repository is **private** you have to configure SSH or username/password authentication.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### SSH authentication
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Configure seed job like:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
apiVersion: jenkins.io/v1alpha2
 | 
						|
kind: Jenkins
 | 
						|
metadata:
 | 
						|
  name: example
 | 
						|
spec:
 | 
						|
  seedJobs:
 | 
						|
  - id: jenkins-operator-ssh
 | 
						|
    credentialType: basicSSHUserPrivateKey
 | 
						|
    credentialID: k8s-ssh
 | 
						|
    targets: "cicd/jobs/*.jenkins"
 | 
						|
    description: "Jenkins Operator repository"
 | 
						|
    repositoryBranch: master
 | 
						|
    repositoryUrl: git@github.com:jenkinsci/kubernetes-operator.git
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
and create Kubernetes Secret(name of secret should be the same from `credentialID` field):
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
apiVersion: v1
 | 
						|
kind: Secret
 | 
						|
metadata:
 | 
						|
  name: k8s-ssh
 | 
						|
data:
 | 
						|
  privateKey: |
 | 
						|
    -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
 | 
						|
    MIIJKAIBAAKCAgEAxxDpleJjMCN5nusfW/AtBAZhx8UVVlhhhIKXvQ+dFODQIdzO
 | 
						|
    oDXybs1zVHWOj31zqbbJnsfsVZ9Uf3p9k6xpJ3WFY9b85WasqTDN1xmSd6swD4N8
 | 
						|
    ...
 | 
						|
  username: github_user_name
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### Username & password authentication
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Configure seed job like:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
apiVersion: jenkins.io/v1alpha2
 | 
						|
kind: Jenkins
 | 
						|
metadata:
 | 
						|
  name: example
 | 
						|
spec:
 | 
						|
  seedJobs:
 | 
						|
  - id: jenkins-operator-user-pass
 | 
						|
    credentialType: usernamePassword
 | 
						|
    credentialID: k8s-user-pass
 | 
						|
    targets: "cicd/jobs/*.jenkins"
 | 
						|
    description: "Jenkins Operator repository"
 | 
						|
    repositoryBranch: master
 | 
						|
    repositoryUrl: https://github.com/jenkinsci/kubernetes-operator.git
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
and create Kubernetes Secret(name of secret should be the same from `credentialID` field):
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
apiVersion: v1
 | 
						|
kind: Secret
 | 
						|
metadata:
 | 
						|
  name: k8s-user-pass
 | 
						|
data:
 | 
						|
  username: github_user_name
 | 
						|
  password: password_or_token
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Jenkins Customisation
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Jenkins can be customized using groovy scripts or configuration as code plugin. All custom configuration is stored in
 | 
						|
the **jenkins-operator-user-configuration-<cr_name>** ConfigMap which is automatically created by **jenkins-operator**.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
**jenkins-operator** creates **jenkins-operator-user-configuration-<cr_name>** secret where user can store sensitive 
 | 
						|
information used for custom configuration. If you have entry in secret named `PASSWORD` then you can use it in 
 | 
						|
Configuration as Plugin as `adminAddress: "${PASSWORD}"`.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
kubectl get secret jenkins-operator-user-configuration-<cr_name> -o yaml
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
kind: Secret
 | 
						|
apiVersion: v1
 | 
						|
type: Opaque
 | 
						|
metadata:
 | 
						|
  name: jenkins-operator-user-configuration-<cr_name>
 | 
						|
  namespace: default
 | 
						|
data:
 | 
						|
  SECRET_JENKINS_ADMIN_ADDRESS: YXNkZgo=
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
kubectl get configmap jenkins-operator-user-configuration-<cr_name> -o yaml
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
apiVersion: v1
 | 
						|
data:
 | 
						|
  1-configure-theme.groovy: |2
 | 
						|
    import jenkins.*
 | 
						|
    import jenkins.model.*
 | 
						|
    import hudson.*
 | 
						|
    import hudson.model.*
 | 
						|
    import org.jenkinsci.plugins.simpletheme.ThemeElement
 | 
						|
    import org.jenkinsci.plugins.simpletheme.CssTextThemeElement
 | 
						|
    import org.jenkinsci.plugins.simpletheme.CssUrlThemeElement
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    Jenkins jenkins = Jenkins.getInstance()
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    def decorator = Jenkins.instance.getDescriptorByType(org.codefirst.SimpleThemeDecorator.class)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    List<ThemeElement> configElements = new ArrayList<>();
 | 
						|
    configElements.add(new CssTextThemeElement("DEFAULT"));
 | 
						|
    configElements.add(new CssUrlThemeElement("https://cdn.rawgit.com/afonsof/jenkins-material-theme/gh-pages/dist/material-light-green.css"));
 | 
						|
    decorator.setElements(configElements);
 | 
						|
    decorator.save();
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
    jenkins.save()
 | 
						|
  1-system-message.yaml: |2
 | 
						|
    jenkins:
 | 
						|
      systemMessage: "Configuration as Code integration works!!!"
 | 
						|
      adminAddress: "${SECRET_JENKINS_ADMIN_ADDRESS}"
 | 
						|
kind: ConfigMap
 | 
						|
metadata:
 | 
						|
  name: jenkins-operator-user-configuration-<cr_name>
 | 
						|
  namespace: default
 | 
						|
``` 
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
When **jenkins-operator-user-configuration-<cr_name>** ConfigMap is updated Jenkins automatically 
 | 
						|
runs the **jenkins-operator-user-configuration** Jenkins Job which executes all scripts then
 | 
						|
runs the **jenkins-operator-user-configuration-casc** Jenkins Job which applies Configuration as Code configuration.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Install Plugins
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Edit CR under `spec.master.plugins`:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
apiVersion: jenkins.io/v1alpha2
 | 
						|
kind: Jenkins
 | 
						|
metadata:
 | 
						|
  name: example
 | 
						|
spec:
 | 
						|
  master:
 | 
						|
   plugins:
 | 
						|
   - name: simple-theme-plugin
 | 
						|
     version: 0.5.1
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Then **jenkins-operator** will automatically install plugins after Jenkins master pod restart.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Configure backup and restore
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Backup and restore is done by container sidecar.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
### PVC
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
#### Create PVC
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Save to file pvc.yaml:
 | 
						|
```yaml
 | 
						|
apiVersion: v1
 | 
						|
kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
 | 
						|
metadata:
 | 
						|
  name: <pvc_name>
 | 
						|
  namespace: <namesapce>
 | 
						|
spec:
 | 
						|
  accessModes:
 | 
						|
  - ReadWriteOnce
 | 
						|
  resources:
 | 
						|
    requests:
 | 
						|
      storage: 500Gi
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Run command:
 | 
						|
```bash
 | 
						|
$ kubectl -n <namesapce> create -f pvc.yaml
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
#### Configure Jenkins CR
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```yaml
 |

      imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent
 | 
						|
      volumeMounts:
 | 
						|
      - mountPath: /jenkins-home # Jenkins home volume
 | 
						|
        name: jenkins-home
 | 
						|
      - mountPath: /backup # backup volume
 | 
						|
        name: backup
 | 
						|
    volumes:
 | 
						|
    - name: backup # PVC volume where backups will be stored
 | 
						|
      persistentVolumeClaim:
 | 
						|
        claimName: <pvc_name>
 | 
						|
  restore:
 | 
						|
    action:
 |

        - /home/user/bin/restore.sh # this command is invoked on "backup" container to make restore backup, for example /home/user/bin/restore.sh <backup_number>, <backup_number> is passed by operator
 |

    containerName: backup # container name is responsible for restore backup
 |

    #recoveryOnce: <backup_number> # if want to restore specific backup configure this field and then Jenkins will be restarted and desired backup will be restored

## Debugging
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Turn on debug in **jenkins-operator** deployment:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```bash
 | 
						|
sed -i 's|\(args:\).*|\1\ ["--debug"\]|' deploy/operator.yaml
 | 
						|
kubectl apply -f deploy/operator.yaml
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Watch Kubernetes events:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```bash
 | 
						|
kubectl get events --sort-by='{.lastTimestamp}'
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Verify Jenkins master logs:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```bash
 | 
						|
kubectl logs -f jenkins-<cr_name>
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Verify jenkins-operator logs:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```bash
 | 
						|
kubectl logs deployment/jenkins-operator
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Troubleshooting
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Delete Jenkins master pod and wait for the new one to come up:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```bash
 | 
						|
kubectl delete pod jenkins-<cr_name>
 | 
						|
```
