👨💻Task-01: Forking Repository and GitHub Integration
Step 1: Forking the Repository
To kick off your Jenkins CI/CD project, start by forking the provided repository on GitHub. This action creates a personal copy of the repository under your GitHub account, allowing you to freely experiment without impacting the original codebase.
Step 2: Connecting Jenkins Job to GitHub Repository
Now that you have your forked repository, establish a connection between Jenkins and GitHub. Jenkins can automatically build and deploy your application whenever changes are pushed to the repository. This integration streamlines the development process and ensures that your CI/CD pipeline is triggered seamlessly.
Step 3: GitHub WebHooks and CI/CD Setup
Take a moment to familiarize yourself with GitHub WebHooks. These are mechanisms that allow GitHub to notify external services, such as Jenkins, about events in your repository. Configure WebHooks to enable automatic triggering of the CI/CD pipeline whenever changes occur in your GitHub repository.
For a comprehensive guide on this process, refer to the suggested video. This resource provides a step-by-step walkthrough, ensuring you have a solid understanding of how GitHub integration and WebHooks work in tandem with Jenkins.
👨💻Task-02: Running the Application with Docker Compose
Step 1: Execute Shell Script in Jenkins
Inside your Jenkins job configuration, set up an Execute Shell build step. This step will be responsible for executing commands within the Jenkins environment. In this case, it will run your Node.js application using Docker Compose.
Step 2: Crafting a Docker Compose File
Create a Docker Compose file tailored to your Node.js application. This file should define the services, networks, volumes, and other configurations required for your application to run smoothly in a Dockerized environment. This is an excellent opportunity for you to contribute to the open-source community by sharing your Docker Compose file.
If you're new to Docker Compose, consider consulting the official documentation for guidance on its structure and usage.
Step 3: Run the Project
Once your Jenkins job is configured and your Docker Compose file is ready, execute the job. Watch as Jenkins automatically builds and deploys your Node.js application using the defined CI/CD pipeline.
😊 Happy Learning!
