Jenkins is an open-source automation tool that helps with continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI\/CD) of software. It can be used in a master-slave configuration to distribute workloads across multiple machines. In this article, we’ll walk through the steps to set up a Jenkins master and slave on Ubuntu. Additionally, we’ll show you how to mirror your setup using rsync<\/strong> to ensure consistency across servers. If you’re looking for hosting solutions, consider using for your Jenkins setup.<\/p>\n

\n

Step 1: Install Jenkins on the Master Server<\/h2>\n

Start by updating your Ubuntu system and installing Jenkins on the master server. Run the following commands to do so:<\/p>\n

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade<\/code><\/pre>\n
Next, install Jenkins using the official repository:<\/p>\n
\r\nsudo apt install openjdk-11-jdk\r\nwget -q -O - https:\/\/pkg.jenkins.io\/debian\/jenkins.io.key | sudo apt-key add -\r\nsudo sh -c 'echo deb http:\/\/pkg.jenkins.io\/debian-stable binary\/ > \/etc\/apt\/sources.list.d\/jenkins.list'\r\nsudo apt update\r\nsudo apt install jenkins\r\n            <\/code><\/pre>\n
Once Jenkins is installed, start the Jenkins service:<\/p>\n
sudo systemctl start jenkins<\/code><\/pre>\n
This process is applicable whether you’re running Jenkins on a local server or a Windows VPSVirtual Private Server hosting<\/a> platform.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
\n
Step 2: Configure Jenkins Master<\/h2>\n
After installation, access Jenkins through your browser at http:\/\/your-server-ip:8080<\/code>. Unlock Jenkins using the password found in the following file:<\/p>\n
sudo cat \/var\/lib\/jenkins\/secrets\/initialAdminPassword<\/code><\/pre>\n
Complete the setup by installing the recommended plugins and creating an admin user. Once done, your Jenkins master will be ready. Setting up Jenkins on a virtual private server, such as a UK VPS Windows<\/a>, can offer additional flexibility and performance.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
\n
Step 3: Install Jenkins Slave<\/h2>\n
To set up the Jenkins slave, you need to install Java on the slave machine, which could be another Ubuntu server or a VPS Windows VPS Servers<\/a>. Run the following command to install Java:<\/p>\n
sudo apt install openjdk-11-jdk<\/code><\/pre>\n
After installing Java, navigate to the Jenkins master dashboard, go to Manage Jenkins > Manage Nodes and Clouds > New Node<\/strong>, and add the slave machine details. Make sure to configure the slave with the appropriate labels and settings based on your use case.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
\n
Step 4: Connect Jenkins Slave to Master<\/h2>\n
Once the slave is configured, connect it to the master server. On the slave machine, you can use the Launch agent via SSH<\/strong> option from the Jenkins dashboard. This requires the slave to be accessible via SSH<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n
