# Jenkins Helm Chart Jenkins master and slave cluster utilizing the Jenkins Kubernetes plugin * https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Kubernetes+Plugin Inspired by the awesome work of Carlos Sanchez ## Chart Details This chart will do the following: * 1 x Jenkins Master with port 8080 exposed on an external ClusterIP * All using Kubernetes Deployments ## Installing the Chart In the rancher UI, choose the molgenis-jenkins app from the catalog and deploy it. ## Configuration The following tables list the configurable parameters of the Jenkins chart and their default values. You can paste these values into the Rancher Answers if you like. Array values can be added as {value, value, value}, e.g. ``` Master.InstallPlugins={kubernetes:1.8.4, workflow-aggregator:2.5, workflow-job:2.21, credentials-binding:1.16, git:3.9.1} ``` ### Jenkins Master | Parameter | Description | Default | | --------------------------------- | ------------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | `nameOverride` | Override the resource name prefix | `jenkins` | | `fullnameOverride` | Override the full resource names | `jenkins-{release-name}` (or `jenkins` if release-name is `jenkins`) | | `Master.Name` | Jenkins master name | `jenkins-master` | | `Master.Image` | Master image name | `jenkinsci/jenkins` | | `Master.ImageTag` | Master image tag | `lts` | | `Master.ImagePullPolicy` | Master image pull policy | `Always` | | `Master.ImagePullSecret` | Master image pull secret | Not set | | `Master.Component` | k8s selector key | `jenkins-master` | | `Master.UseSecurity` | Use basic security | `true` | | `Master.AdminUser` | Admin username (and password) created as a secret if useSecurity is true | `admin` | | `Master.Cpu` | Master requested cpu | `200m` | | `Master.Memory` | Master requested memory | `256Mi` | | `Master.InitContainerEnv` | Environment variables for Init Container | Not set | | `Master.ContainerEnv` | Environment variables for Jenkins Container | Not set | | `Master.RunAsUser` | uid that jenkins runs with | `0` | | `Master.FsGroup` | uid that will be used for persistent volume | `0` | | `Master.ServiceAnnotations` | Service annotations | `{}` | | `Master.ServiceType` | k8s service type | `LoadBalancer` | | `Master.ServicePort` | k8s service port | `8080` | | `Master.NodePort` | k8s node port | Not set | | `Master.HealthProbes` | Enable k8s liveness and readiness probes | `true` | | `Master.HealthProbesLivenessTimeout` | Set the timeout for the liveness probe | `120` | | `Master.HealthProbesReadinessTimeout` | Set the timeout for the readiness probe | `60` | | `Master.HealthProbeLivenessFailureThreshold` | Set the failure threshold for the liveness probe | `12` | | `Master.ContainerPort` | Master listening port | `8080` | | `Master.SlaveListenerPort` | Listening port for agents | `50000` | | `Master.DisabledAgentProtocols` | Disabled agent protocols | `JNLP-connect JNLP2-connect` | | `Master.CSRF.DefaultCrumbIssuer.Enabled` | Enable the default CSRF Crumb issuer | `true` | | `Master.CSRF.DefaultCrumbIssuer.ProxyCompatability` | Enable proxy compatibility | `true` | | `Master.CLI` | Enable CLI over remoting | `false` | | `Master.LoadBalancerSourceRanges` | Allowed inbound IP addresses | `0.0.0.0/0` | | `Master.LoadBalancerIP` | Optional fixed external IP | Not set | | `Master.JMXPort` | Open a port, for JMX stats | Not set | | `Master.CustomConfigMap` | Use a custom ConfigMap | `false` | | `Master.Ingress.Annotations` | Ingress annotations | `{}` | | `Master.Ingress.TLS` | Ingress TLS configuration | `[]` | | `Master.InitScripts` | List of Jenkins init scripts | Not set | | `Master.CredentialsXmlSecret` | Kubernetes secret that contains a 'credentials.xml' file | Not set | | `Master.SecretsFilesSecret` | Kubernetes secret that contains 'secrets' files | Not set | | `Master.Jobs` | Jenkins XML job configs | Not set | | `Master.InstallPlugins` | List of Jenkins plugins to install | `kubernetes:0.11 workflow-aggregator:2.5 credentials-binding:1.11 git:3.2.0` | | `Master.ScriptApproval` | List of groovy functions to approve | Not set | | `Master.NodeSelector` | Node labels for pod assignment | `{}` | | `Master.Affinity` | Affinity settings | `{}` | | `Master.Tolerations` | Toleration labels for pod assignment | `{}` | | `NetworkPolicy.Enabled` | Enable creation of NetworkPolicy resources. | `false` | | `NetworkPolicy.ApiVersion` | NetworkPolicy ApiVersion | `extensions/v1beta1` | | `rbac.install` | Create service account and ClusterRoleBinding for Kubernetes plugin | `false` | | `rbac.apiVersion` | RBAC API version | `v1beta1` | | `rbac.roleRef` | Cluster role name to bind to | `cluster-admin` | ### Jenkins Agent | Parameter | Description | Default | | ----------------------- | ----------------------------------------------- | ---------------------- | | `Agent.AlwaysPullImage` | Always pull agent container image before build | `false` | | `Agent.Enabled` | Enable Kubernetes plugin jnlp-agent podTemplate | `true` | | `Agent.Image` | Agent image name | `jenkinsci/jnlp-slave` | | `Agent.ImagePullSecret` | Agent image pull secret | Not set | | `Agent.ImageTag` | Agent image tag | `2.62` | | `Agent.Privileged` | Agent privileged container | `false` | | `Agent.Cpu` | Agent requested cpu | `200m` | | `Agent.Memory` | Agent requested memory | `256Mi` | | `Agent.volumes` | Additional volumes | `nil` | Specify each parameter using the `--set key=value[,key=value]` argument to `helm install`. Alternatively, a YAML file that specifies the values for the parameters can be provided while installing the chart. For example, ```bash $ helm install --name my-release -f values.yaml stable/jenkins ``` > **Tip**: You can use the default [values.yaml](values.yaml) ## Mounting volumes into your Agent pods Your Jenkins Agents will run as pods, and it's possible to inject volumes where needed: ```yaml Agent: volumes: - type: Secret secretName: jenkins-mysecrets mountPath: /var/run/secrets/jenkins-mysecrets ``` The supported volume types are: `ConfigMap`, `EmptyDir`, `HostPath`, `Nfs`, `Pod`, `Secret`. Each type supports a different set of configurable attributes, defined by [the corresponding Java class](https://github.com/jenkinsci/kubernetes-plugin/tree/master/src/main/java/org/csanchez/jenkins/plugins/kubernetes/volumes). ## NetworkPolicy To make use of the NetworkPolicy resources created by default, install [a networking plugin that implements the Kubernetes NetworkPolicy spec](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/administer-cluster/declare-network-policy#before-you-begin). For Kubernetes v1.5 & v1.6, you must also turn on NetworkPolicy by setting the DefaultDeny namespace annotation. Note: this will enforce policy for _all_ pods in the namespace: kubectl annotate namespace default "net.beta.kubernetes.io/network-policy={\"ingress\":{\"isolation\":\"DefaultDeny\"}}" Install helm chart with network policy enabled: $ helm install stable/jenkins --set NetworkPolicy.Enabled=true ## Persistence The Jenkins image stores persistence under `/var/jenkins_home` path of the container. A dynamically managed Persistent Volume Claim is used to keep the data across deployments, by default. This is known to work in GCE, AWS, and minikube. Alternatively, a previously configured Persistent Volume Claim can be used. It is possible to mount several volumes using `Persistence.volumes` and `Persistence.mounts` parameters. ### Persistence Values | Parameter | Description | Default | | --------------------------- | ------------------------------- | --------------- | | `Persistence.Enabled` | Enable the use of a Jenkins PVC | `true` | | `Persistence.ExistingClaim` | Provide the name of a PVC | `nil` | | `Persistence.AccessMode` | The PVC access mode | `ReadWriteOnce` | | `Persistence.Size` | The size of the PVC | `8Gi` | | `Persistence.volumes` | Additional volumes | `nil` | | `Persistence.mounts` | Additional mounts | `nil` | #### Existing PersistentVolumeClaim 1. Create the PersistentVolume 1. Create the PersistentVolumeClaim 1. Install the chart ```bash $ helm install --name my-release --set Persistence.ExistingClaim=PVC_NAME stable/jenkins ``` ## Custom ConfigMap When creating a new parent chart with this chart as a dependency, the `CustomConfigMap` parameter can be used to override the default config.xml provided. It also allows for providing additional xml configuration files that will be copied into `/var/jenkins_home`. In the parent chart's values.yaml, set the `jenkins.Master.CustomConfigMap` value to true like so ```yaml jenkins: Master: CustomConfigMap: true ``` and provide the file `templates/config.tpl` in your parent chart for your use case. You can start by copying the contents of `config.yaml` from this chart into your parent charts `templates/config.tpl` as a basis for customization. Finally, you'll need to wrap the contents of `templates/config.tpl` like so: ```yaml {{- define "override_config_map" }} {{ end }} ``` ## RBAC If running upon a cluster with RBAC enabled you will need to do the following: * `helm install stable/jenkins --set rbac.install=true` * Create a Jenkins credential of type Kubernetes service account with service account name provided in the `helm status` output. * Under configure Jenkins -- Update the credentials config in the cloud section to use the service account credential you created in the step above. ## Run Jenkins as non root user The default settings of this helm chart let Jenkins run as root user with uid `0`. Due to security reasons you may want to run Jenkins as a non root user. Fortunately the default jenkins docker image `jenkins/jenkins` contains a user `jenkins` with uid `1000` that can be used for this purpose. Simply use the following settings to run Jenkins as `jenkins` user with uid `1000`. ```yaml jenkins: Master: RunAsUser: 1000 FsGroup: 1000 ``` Docs taken from https://github.com/jenkinsci/docker/blob/master/Dockerfile: _Jenkins is run with user `jenkins`, uid = 1000. If you bind mount a volume from the host or a data container,ensure you use the same uid_ ## Running behind a forward proxy The master pod uses an Init Container to install plugins etc. If you are behind a corporate proxy it may be useful to set `Master.InitContainerEnv` to add environment variables such as `http_proxy`, so that these can be downloaded. Additionally, you may want to add env vars for the Jenkins container, and the JVM (`Master.JavaOpts`). ```yaml Master: InitContainerEnv: - name: http_proxy value: "http://192.168.64.1:3128" - name: https_proxy value: "http://192.168.64.1:3128" - name: no_proxy value: "" ContainerEnv: - name: http_proxy value: "http://192.168.64.1:3128" - name: https_proxy value: "http://192.168.64.1:3128" JavaOpts: >- -Dhttp.proxyHost=192.168.64.1 -Dhttp.proxyPort=3128 -Dhttps.proxyHost=192.168.64.1 -Dhttps.proxyPort=3128 ```
