Introduction

Jenkins is one of the most popular open-source continuous integration and continuous delivery servers available today. It provides lots of plugins for building deploying and automating plugins. With Jenkins, organizations can accelerate the software development process by automating it. Jenkins manages and controls software delivery processes throughout the entire lifecycle, including build, document, test, package, stage, deployment, static code analysis and much more.

Installing Jenkins

Jenkins provides an Ubuntu repository for the installation packages and we will install Jenkins from this repository.

wget -q -O - https://pkg.jenkins.io/debian/jenkins-ci.org.key | sudo apt-key add -
sudo sh -c 'echo deb http://pkg.jenkins.io/debian-stable binary/ >  /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jenkins.list'

You can set up Jenkins to watch for any code changes in places like SVN and GitHub, automatically do a build with tools like Ant and Maven, utilize container technology such as Docker and Kubernetes, initiate tests and then take actions like rolling back or rolling forward in production.ata
