Overview

Jenkins automates the repetitive parts of software delivery - building, testing and deploying. Every time code is pushed, Jenkins can compile it, run the tests, check quality and publish or deploy the result.

With hundreds of plug-ins and pipelines defined as code (Jenkinsfile), it fits almost any technology stack.

Where it is used

• Continuous integration for Java and web projects
• Automated testing
• Automated deployment to servers
• Scheduled maintenance tasks

Run Jenkins and a first pipeline

docker run -p 8080:8080 -p 50000:50000 -v jenkins_home:/var/jenkins_home jenkins/jenkins:lts

pipeline {
    agent any
    stages {
        stage('Build') { steps { sh 'mvn -B package' } }
        stage('Test')  { steps { sh 'mvn -B test' } }
    }
}
