In my previous post I described how I started a continuous delivery stack with one simple command. The next step is to prepare the stack to build and deploy an application in an automated way. In this post I describe how to configure the stack so it is ready for processing a simple Spring Boot application. Although I have the ...

In this article, we’ll discuss a way to create a Jenkins service inside a Docker Swarm cluster and some of the benefits such a service provides. Environment Setup We’ll start by creating a Docker Swarm cluster. I will assume you already have at least a basic knowledge how Docker Swarm Mode works. If you don’t, I suggest you read the ...

Finally I introduced the new (or not so new) Jenkins Pipeline plugin which allows you to create your continuous delivery pipeline by coding ...

The idea behind this article is to explore ways to deploy releases with Jenkins to Docker Swarm without downtime. We’ll use blue-green procedure. More info about the process and one possible implementation can be found in the Blue-Green Deployment, Automation and Self-Healing Procedure article. One of the downsides of the process we used in that article is Ansible itself. While ...

Intro During the summer I had the chance to play a little bit with Jenkins inside Kubernetes. More specifically I wanted to see what’s the best way to get the Docker Workflow Plugin running. So, the idea was to have a Pod running Jenkins and use it to run builds that are defined using Docker Workflow Plugin.  After a lot of ...

First we must install the Gradle plugin for Jenkins.               The we must install the Android emulator plugin for Jenkins. We have to install Gradle on jenkins: ...

Recently I have been working on a project that has two main modules: Backend and Frontend. The Backend is a Spring Boot application and the Frontend is an AngularJS 1.3 application. While preparing the build we are using Grunt for building AngularJS code and Gradle for building the Spring Boot application. Grunt is creating a JAR file containing all resources ...
