ansible-jenkins

This is an ansible playbook to install and configure Jenkins-CI.

Note As of 2023, we have migrated all our CI/CD workflows to GitHub Actions and no longer use Jenkins.

The playbook will install NGINX, Docker, a local-only SMTP server and Jenkins. It will also install Docker-maintenance cron jobs and Jenkins-backup scripts to S3.

This playbook assumes that the instance is behind an elb and the elb will do its SSL termination. The ssl certificate can be obtained using AWS ACM or can be manually uploaded

This playbook is a rework of the ee-infra-jenkins

Jenkins backups

This playbook expects that you use the ThinBackup Jenkins plugin and that you save backups in /data/backups.
