Jenkins Job Builder: DevOps Library Jenkins #11

Welcome to the DevOps Library! This is Samantha, and in this lesson, we're going to cover one of our all-time favorite Jenkins add-ons, Jenkins Job Builder. Up until now, you've probably been setting up each of your jobs by hand through the Jenkins Web UI. While that does work for a while, after a dozen jobs or so it starts to become pretty tedious and error prone. Additionally, there’s also a good chance that none of your Jenkins configuration is version controlled, but all of that's about to change! Jenkins Job Builder, or JJB for short, uses simple human readable YAML or JSON files to generate Jenkins jobs. This has several advantages; Jenkins configuration stored as code, auditable version controlled jobs, and reusable job templates and macros. It's also very easy to use! Before we begin, we'd like to give a quick shout out to Hired.com for being kind enough to sponsor our Jenkins course. If you aren’t familiar with Hired, it’s a really cool company that completely reverses the traditional job search, by having companies apply to you, instead of you always doing the tedious work of applying. Thousands of companies look to Hired to connect with the best of the best in our field, like you! OH and if you do end up signing up through our own personal link, and landing a new job, Hired will give you a 2k bonus for being a loyal supporter of the DevOps library! Alright, let’s go ahead and get started with Jenkins Job builder! First, pull up the JJB documentation at the URL below. You might be wondering why we're going to Openstack.org for Jenkins docs. The reason is because Jenkins Job builder was actually created as part of Openstack. Don't worry, you don't need to actually know anything about Openstack, we just wanted to give you a little background information! :) Alright, in this lesson we're going to install JJB directly on our Jenkins master, but you can easily run it remotely if you'd prefer. Let's go ahead and SSH into our master. If you're using Ubuntu, you may be tempted to just install JJB using apt-get. Don't do it! If you do, you'll be stuck on an ancient version that doesn't work very well. Instead, let's install it using Pip!
