Jenkins Slave Configuration

STEP1- Create a Slave EC2 Ubuntu Instance server:

STEP 2- Install jre on slave Ubuntu instance

1. sudo apt-get update

2. sudo apt-get upgrade
3. install a Java Runtime Environment: sudo apt-get install openjdk-8*
4. sudo apt-get install default-jre

STEP 3- By default SSH plugin not installed in your Master Instance. We have to install
manually.
 manage plugins -> search ssh in available tab -> select check box for ssh plugin to install
without restart.

STEP 4- Install nginx in your slave instance.

Use of nginx: Setting up an Nginx Proxy for port 80 -> 8888

we need to setup Nginx to proxy port 80 to 8888 so that you can keep Jenkins on 8888.

Command- sudo apt-get install nginx

Remove default configuration:

 $ cd /etc/nginx/sites-available
 $ sudo rm default ../sites-enabled/default
 Open new file /etc/nginx/sites-available
 Creating a file: sudo vi jenkins
After Creating jenkins file please paste the below code and change that if your port number is
different and paste masters node (public dns ipv4)
Note: Please look into the yellow to make changes in your jenkins file

upstream app_server {
server 127.0.0.1:8888 fail_timeout=0;
}

server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80 default ipv6only=on;
server_name ec2-34-207-115-93.compute-1.amazonaws.com;

location / {
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_redirect off;

if (!-f $request_filename) {
proxy_pass http://app_server;
break;
}
}
}
Link the configuration from sites-available to sites-enabled
 sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/default /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
 sudo service nginx restart

STEP 5– Go to Jenkins page and look for Build Executor Status

Creating a New Node and name it:

STEP 6– Changes to be made

 remote root directory always - /home/Ubuntu
 Launch Method- Launch slave agents via SSH
 Host- Always Slave IPv4 Public IP
 Press Add Jenkins
  Kind: Select SSH Username with private key
 Username always- Ubuntu is your user name.

Open your Terminal:

 Copy your Private Key code and Select Enter Directly and paste your Master Node
Private Key
Look for Credentials and select Ubuntu and save it.

Node is created

 Open node and Click on Log to check Connections will be allowed or not.
