| xnox | jibel, could i poke you about lp:qa-jenkins-jobs ? | 13:20 |
|---|---|---|
| jibel | xnox, sure | 13:20 |
| xnox | e.g. i'm browsing jenkins configs, and I don't see e.g. a job that pulls lp:qa-jenkins-jobs and actually deploys/updates them in jenkins. How is that done? | 13:20 |
| jibel | xnox, ah this is done manually because it needs secret keys that are not on the nodes | 13:21 |
| xnox | cause e.g. in jenkins-dsl, there is usually a "dsl" job that pulls git/bzr repo and generates the jobs. And all the generated jobs, have a link to "parent" generator job =) but i don't see it. | 13:21 |
| jibel | xnox, nuclearbob can help with this | 13:21 |
| jibel | he is not online yet though | 13:21 |
| xnox | jibel, horum. I thought the bzr branch is public. And e.g. secrets could be stored in jenkins secrets. Thus e.g. i'm not sure why jenkins couldn't be polling and redploying it's own jobs =) | 13:22 |
| * xnox does see a jenkin ssh key as a secret | 13:22 | |
| jibel | xnox, to deploy the jobs you need the key of the jenkins api. But you're right, it could be done in a job | 13:25 |
| jibel | xnox, I'll ask Max when he's online | 13:25 |
| xnox | yeap, reading the docs it looks like they don't use jenkins to deploy jenkins-yaml/job-builder by default. | 13:25 |
| xnox | which is probably good, cause e.g. with jenkins-dsl one ends up having a "manually" entered job, to pull dsl configs, which then deploy everything, which is kind of ugly =) | 13:26 |
| xnox | ah =) i can have my own api token and deploy my own things. | 13:26 |
| xnox | i think i should bring up a local jenkins and test things there, instead of the production instance. | 13:27 |
| jibel | xnox, you can deploy test jobs with jjb on the production instance. We asked for a staging instance but it takes a while | 13:39 |
| jibel | xnox, as long as it's new jobs it's fine | 13:40 |
| xnox | jibel, well. if that jenkins is deployed with mojo+juju, we can redploy test instances in canonistack. | 13:55 |
| xnox | not sure if that would be useful at all, as it will not have access to any production slaves.... | 13:55 |

| xnox | jibel, gave up on docker. trivially deployed jenkins, and trivially got api tocken to upload my jenkins jobs on to it. Now i just need to iterate, and create my jobs, then i'll deploy them to production jenkins or some such. | 14:52 |
| jibel | nuclearbob, ^ when xnox is ready can you help him with jjb to deploy his jobs in production? | 14:54 |
| nuclearbob | jibel: yeppers | 14:54 |
| nuclearbob | xnox: we have configs in lp:qa-jenkins-jobs that work with jenkins-job-builder if you want any help or examples with that | 14:55 |
| nuclearbob | xnox: I'm very happy with it as a tool for managing multiple jobs with common elements and linking them together | 14:55 |
| nuclearbob | xnox: also makes deploying the same jobs to dev/staging and then later production a trivial process | 14:56 |
| nuclearbob | but I suppose that's true of any good jenkins tool | 14:56 |
| xnox | yeap. | 14:58 |
| xnox | nuclearbob, i just might end up needing extra plugins, and/or extra tooling installed on the slaves =/ | 14:58 |
| xnox | and i think that would fall outside of jjb and instead will need mojo/juju tweaks. | 14:58 |
| nuclearbob | xnox: for installing tooling on the slaves, I recommend creating a setup job, for when the slaves inevitably need to be rebuilt | 14:58 |
| nuclearbob | ah, yeah | 14:59 |
| nuclearbob | for plugins in jaas I go through rt | 14:59 |
| nuclearbob | but if you need mojo/juju stuff I'm only marginally helpful | 14:59 |
| nuclearbob | I haven't touched mojo in over a year | 14:59 |
| nuclearbob | better than nothing, but probably not as good as many other people around :) | 14:59 |
| xnox | nuclearbob, #is pointed me to the branch which has our jenkins configs et.al. So actually i could have deployed exact copy of our jenkins in e.g. canonistack =) | 15:01 |
| nuclearbob | xnox: oh, that's lovely. mojo and juju are pretty fantastic for replicating cloud deployments :) | 15:01 |
| xnox | anyway lunch for me =) | 15:03 |
