CloudBees Core Managed Master

Custom Managed Master Docker Image

This repository provides an example for creating a custom container (Docker) image to use as a Managed Master Docker image template to be provisioned by CloudBees Core Operations Center running on Kubernetes.

The image is configured to skip the Jenkins 2 Setup Wizard, install all of the CloudBees recommended plugins (minus a few) and some additional plugins typically used by CloudBees SAs for demos and workshops, and auto-configure the Jenkins instances. This config-as-code results in a streamlined CloudBees Core Managed Master provisioning process.

Dockerfile

  • The Dockerfile starts with a FROM value of the CloudBees Core Managed Master Docker image: cloudbees/cloudbees-core-mm.
  • The RUN /usr/local/bin/install-plugins.sh $(cat plugins.txt) command installs all the plugins.
  • The config-as-code.yml file provides Configuration-as-Code via the Jenkins CasC plugin.
  • The quickstart scripts futher modifies the Managed Master configuration using init.groovy.d scripts for configuration not currently supported by the CasC plugin.

Plugins installed:

See the plugins.txt file to see all the plugins that get installed - some non-CJE standard plugins highlights include:

Note, the install-plugins.sh script will download the specified plugins and their dependencies at build time and include them in the image; it also inspects the Jenkins WAR and skips any plugins already included by CloudBees (embedded in the WAR).

initilization scripts (Groovy init scripts that run on Jenkins post initialization)

Regular init scripts (on startup)
  • init_99_save.groovy: Ensures any previous configuration changes are saved, sets flags not to re-run certain scripts; currently not much done here as we prefer to wait for the CJE license to be activated
License Activated scripts - utilizes the custom CloudBees license-activated-or-renewed-after-expiration hook that will be fired after your CJE license is activated
  • init_01_quickstart_hook.groovy: This script is only used to trigger another custom groovy hook but only after the CloudBees license has been activated.
Quickstart scripts - a custom init groovy hook that fires after required plugins are installed and after a necessary restart
  • init_04_pipeline_model-def_config.groovy: Configures the agent label to be used for Pipeline Declarative Docker syntax. This is not documented very well, but there is a global and per folder setting to tell Declarative Pipeline what Jenkins agent label to use when using the `` syntax - to ensure that the underlying Pipeline Model Definition will be able to spin up the Docker image to use inside the agent.
  • init_10_global_flow_durability.groovy: Sets the global Pipeline Speed/Durability Setting to PERFORMANCE_OPTIMIZED, this may be overridden per Pipeline job or per-branch for a Pipeline Multibranch project. See Scaling Pipelines for more details. We might as well use maximum performance since we are using the One Shot Executor Strategy for agents.
