Molgenis Jenkins Helm Chart

Jenkins master and slave cluster utilizing the Jenkins Kubernetes plugin. Wraps the kuberenetes jenkins chart, see documentation there!

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

Usually, you'll be deploying this to the molgenis cluster. In the Rancher Catalog, add the latest version of this repository. In the molgenis cluster management page, choose the catalog, pick the molgenis-jenkins app from the catalog and deploy it.

Configuration

When deploying, you can paste values into the Rancher Answers to override the defaults in this chart. Array values can be added as {value, value, value}.

jenkins.Master.HostName=jenkins.molgenis.org
jenkins.Master.AdminPassword=pa$$word
jenkins.Persistence.Enabled=false
jenkins.Master.InstallPlugins={kubernetes:1.8.4, workflow-aggregator:2.5, workflow-job:2.21, credentials-binding:1.16, git:3.9.1}
PipelineSecrets.Env.PGPPassphrase=literal:S3cr3t

You can use all configuration values of the jenkins subchart.

Because we use jenkins as a sub-chart, you should prefix all value keys with jenkins!

There is one additional group of configuration items specific for this chart, so not prefixed with jenkins:

PipelineSecrets

When deployed, the chart creates a couple of kubernetes secrets that get used by jenkins and mounted in the jenkins build pods. The secrets, like the rest of the deployment, is namespaced so multiple instances can run beside each other with their own secrets.

You can override the values at deploy time but otherwise also configure them in Rancher or through kubectl.

Env

Environment variables stored in molgenis-pipeline-env secret, to be added as environment variables in the slave pods.

Parameter	Description	Default
PipelineSecrets.Env.Replace	Replace molgenis-pipeline-env secret	true

Command line use

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,

$ helm install --name jenkins -f values.yaml molgenis-jenkins
