Continuous Integration with Jenkins on Amazon EC2

This documented is a slightly adapted version to this one: https://gist.github.com/jsuwo/9038610 by Jeff Shantz. He has a fantastic video series on setting up Jenkins on AWS EC2 here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JSOGJQAhtE&feature=youtu.be&ab_channel=JeffShantz

AWS EC2 set-up

• Choose 1-2GB Ubuntu Server
• Create new security group and Enable HTTP (& leave SSH open)
• Launch!
• Create new key pair (and add alias to ~/.ssh/config)

Initial Setup

Fixing Locales in Ubuntu 13.04 on Amazon EC2

sudo apt-get install language-pack-en

Installing Jenkins

wget -q -O - http://pkg.jenkins-ci.org/debian/jenkins-ci.org.key | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb http://pkg.jenkins-ci.org/debian binary/" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jenkins.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install jenkins

Installing and Configuring Apache

Installing Apache

sudo apt-get install apache2
sudo a2enmod proxy
sudo a2enmod proxy_http

/etc/apache2/sites-available/jenkins.conf

<VirtualHost *:80>
	ServerName HOSTNAME
	ProxyRequests Off
	<Proxy *>
		Order deny,allow
		Allow from all
	</Proxy>
	ProxyPreserveHost on
	ProxyPass / http://localhost:8080/
</VirtualHost>

Change the HOSTNAME to the AWS public DNS name

Enabling jenkins.conf

sudo a2ensite jenkins
sudo service apache2 reload

Installing Java / Git / SVN / Ant

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer ant git-core subversion

You can get the path to Java and Ant as follows:

readlink -f /usr/bin/ant
readlink -f /usr/bin/javac

Install PHP & MySQL

sudo apt-get install php5-cli libapache2-mod-php5 
sudo apt-get install mysql-server libapache2-mod-auth-mysql php5-mysql php5-curl
sudo apt-get php5-xsl # For phpdox

If you need to upgrade to PHP 5.6:

sudo apt-get remove php5-cli libapache2-mod-php5 php5 php5-xsl php5-cli libapache2-mod-php5
sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ondrej/php5-5.6
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install php5-cli libapache2-mod-php5 php5 php5-xsl php5-cli libapache2-mod-php5

Node, npm and Grunt-CLI

To get the latest version of node:

curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup | sudo bash -
sudo apt-get install nodejs
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/bin/node

Install npm and Grunt cli

sudo apt-get install npm
npm install grunt-cli

Other utilities

sudo apt-get install unzip

Other steps

• Install composer
• Create a deploy key under jenkins:~/.ssh (/var/lib/jenkins/.ssh/) & add config
• Install npm, grunt, grunt-cli (?)
• Install bitbucket plugin and create webhook (-- not working?) - instead do it custom script with token.
