Installing Jenkins from scratch

This is how I install Jenkins on a bare system. I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 32bit

First Steps

System Config

Always good to update the system packages after a fresh install:

Certificate Authority Commands

Reference: http://www.mad-hacking.net/documentation/linux/security/ssl-tls/creating-ca.xml

Setup

This directory structure is needed for the Certificate Authority

mkdir -p private

mkdir -p demoCA/newcerts

To backup:

$ sudo -u postgres -i
$ export DB_NAME="mydatabase"
$ pg_dump -Fc "$DB_NAME" > "$DB_NAME"-`date -u +%Y%m%d%H%M%S`.dump

To restore:

$ sudo -u postgres -i

$ export DB_NAME="mydatabase"

We are using a patched version of nginx that does not erase the "ETag" http header for gzipped responses.

See: https://forum.nginx.org/read.php?2,240120,240120#msg-240120

This is what was done:

To compile nginx, the PCRE library is needed. Here is how it was installed:

$ wget ftp://ftp.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/software/programming/pcre/pcre-8.37.tar.gz

$ tar -zxvf pcre-8.37.tar.gz
