Prerequisites

Jenkins Instance
AMI- RHEL-8
Instance type- T2 Medium
Security group- port 8080 (custom TCP)- anywhere

Docker Instance

AMI- bitnami-stacksmith-base-centos-7
Instance type- T2 Micro
Security group- Type:All TCP- Source:anywhere

Step1 Connect to the jenkins machine

Install the following utilities by running the following command

yum install wget zip unzip -y

Step2 Install java

wget --no-cookies --header "Cookie: gpw_e24=xxx; oraclelicense=accept-securebackup-cookie;" "http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/8u131-b11/d54c1d3a095b4ff2b6607d096fa80163/jdk-8u131-linux-x64.rpm"

rpm -ivh jdk-8u131-linux-x64.rpm

java -version

Step3 Install tomcat

wget http://apache.mirror.vexxhost.com/tomcat/tomcat-8/v8.5.57/bin/apache-tomcat-8.5.57.zip

unzip apache-tomcat-8.5.57.zip

mv apache-tomcat-8.5.57 /opt/tomcat

chmod -R 755 /opt/tomcat

start tomcat using the following command

/opt/tomcat/bin/startup.sh

Step4 Check the browser by providing the public ipaddress:portnumber

http://3.80.3.41:8080/

Step5 Deploy Jenkins war file inside the tomcat of the webapps

you can check the link here https://updates.jenkins-ci.org/download/war/ and use the latest one

wget https://updates.jenkins-ci.org/download/war/2.255/jenkins.war

cp jenkins.war /opt/tomcat/webapps/

Now update the tomcat wepage by adding jenkins at the end as shown below

http://3.80.3.41:8080/jenkins

Step6 Now install Git

yum install git -y

cat /root/.jenkins/secrets/initialAdminPassword

Select add maven option as shown below and enter the following

Open now Docker machine using new terminal

use the following command to Install docker in the terminal window

give new password and remember new password

groupadd docker

usermod -aG docker dockeradmin

sshd_config — OpenSSH daemon configuration file

Remove the comment for line 1 by deleting # symbol and add comment the line 3 by adding # save and exit the file . The final output looks as shown below

Now restart the service

service sshd restart

cd /opt
mkdir docker
cd docker

vi dockerfile

Paste the following text in the windowm, save and exit

FROM nginx:alpine
COPY . /usr/share/nginx/html

Next we need to give permission for docker admin

chown -R dockeradmin:dockeradmin /opt/docker
ls -ltra

Go to Jenkins dashboard now, and click Configuration system

Go to Publish over SSH section and enter the following

Click apply and save

Now go to docker machine and use the following command.

Now there are no images

docker images

Go to Jenkins dashboard and click Build now

If the job is stable and permission denied use the following command in docker machine and again run the build command

sudo chmod 666 /var/run/docker.sock
