I was thinking about this the other day. My plan is to create a simple
jenkins job that manages all of my other jenkins jobs. Some of the other
suggestions might feed into this.
My goal is to able to bootstrap a new jenkins server in minutes for
disaster recovery and for bringing up new development sites.
roughly the steps would be
1. deploy some docker servers (we use MAAS)
2. spin up a jenkins server instance using a Dockerfile in the devops
repo
3. create this one special job and run it. I am hoping I can define
this job in my Dockerfile. This job will
1. survey MAAS for a list of jenkins build hosts and add them with
executors and labels based on their size
2. pull the list of jobs from the devops repo (format TBD)
3. create the jobs
4. kick them off in some prescribed order (some have parameters or
cron properties so they need to be run once manually)
I would be happy to share whatever I come up with although I can't promise
it will be very soon. Any suggestions for projects I should look at for
integration or inspiration?
