A Jenkins slave, ready to run with the dslabci.epfl.ch

To build this Docker container, run:

$ git clone https://github.com/Sjlver/jenkins-slave
$ cd jenkins-slave
$ docker.io build -t Sjlver/jenkins-slave .

To use this, run it as:

$ docker.io run -d --name="asap_jenkins_slave" -p 10022:22 sjlver/jenkins-slave

Once it runs, connect using SSH:

$ ssh -p 10022 jenkins@<host>

When you're connected, you will need to set up whatever you build host needs to work. This probably includes compilers and other tools. Have a look at the scripts folder for inspiration.

You also need to ensure that your host has access to the repos it needs; for this, copy the corresponding SSH key to /home/jenkins/.ssh.

In the Jenkins web interface, you can then add a new slave as follows:

• Manage Jenkins > Nodes > New Node
• Add a new "dumb node"
• Give your node a title, a label, etc.
• Select launch method: "Launch slave agents on Unix machines via SSH"
• Enter the host name where your container is running. Click on "Advanced" and enter the port (10022 in our example). For credentials, choose the Jenkins SSH key.
