So there is likely a way to do this or a plugin that handles this already, but I have been unsuccessful at finding one. Perhaps I am not searching for the right key words.
Firstly, i would like to clearly state that I am attempting to use jenkins as an automated install server. Going out and installing software and configuring the servers with software such as tomcat and apache and mysql etc. so the steps are not build steps but general exec commands such as sed and cp/mv, calling install scripts etc. Within Jenkins I would like to be able to run a "build" on several servers at once, with ease. When building a project, I currently have to Add Server multiple times and create task lists for each. What i have here are 6 test servers that all need the same thing done to them, test01-test06. Currently I am building the project, adding test01 and then adding all 10 steps. After that i add test02 and then the same 10 steps. test03, rinse and repeat and so on. I was looking for a plugin that would allow me to configure all of the servers and then set a single entity, such as TestServers which is actually an object consisting of all 6 test servers. This way i can build a project and select "TestServers" and then add all 10 steps and done. Another reason for this is i have a complete test stack, 6 dev servers, 6 integration servers, 6 test servers. One work around i have thought of is creating a project that is blank and only consists of the 6 servers and then using that as a template, but this only gets around problem 1 - the list - by auto adding each server. i still have to build the task list for each one individually. So are there plugins that can help here? any other suggestions would be great! looking forward to the power jenkins can provide. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Users" group.
