Day 36 and 37: Crafting Jenkins CI/CD Project! ๐Ÿš€

Hey there, DevOps enthusiasts! Today's mission is to create a seamless CI/CD pipeline for your Node.js application using Jenkins. It's time to blend your Docker and Docker Compose expertise into a live project. Excited? Let's dive in and make it happen! ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ’ป

Task-01: Setting Up GitHub Integration ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ

Step 1: Fork the Repository

Step 2: Connect Jenkins to Your GitHub Repository

  • Navigate to your Jenkins dashboard.

  • Go to "Manage Jenkins" > "Manage Plugins" and install the "GitHub Integration" plugin.

  • Once installed, go to "Manage Jenkins" > "Configure System" and scroll down to the "GitHub" section.

  • Add your GitHub credentials and save the configuration.

  • Next, create a new Jenkins job for your CI/CD pipeline and link it to your GitHub repository using the GitHub integration.

Step 3: Configure GitHub Webhooks

  • In your GitHub repository settings, navigate to "Webhooks" and add a new webhook.

  • Set the payload URL to your Jenkins server URL followed by /github-webhook/.

  • Make sure the content type is set to application/json.

  • Save the webhook configuration.

Task-02: Runningthe Application with Docker Compose ๐Ÿณ

Step 1: Create a Docker Compose File

  • Create a docker-compose.yml file in your project directory.

  • Define services for your Node.js application, specifying the Docker image, ports, environment variables, etc.

Step 2: Configure Jenkins Job

  • In your Jenkins job configuration, add a build step to execute a shell command.

  • Write a shell script to run the application using Docker Compose.

Step 3: Run the Project

  • Trigger the Jenkins job to run the CI/CD pipeline.

  • Once the pipeline completes successfully, access your Node.js application in the browser using the specified port.

  • Treat yourself to the sight of your beautifully deployed application! ๐ŸŽ‰

Task-03: To verify the webhook functionality, we'll modify our code in the GitHub repository and observe how it automatically triggers our pipeline.

The pipeline ran smoothly in Jenkins without needing any manual input.

Changes were accurately reflected.

The successful execution of this task boosts our confidence in deploying complete projects using Jenkins pipelines.

There you have it โ€“ a fully functional CI/CD pipeline for your Node.js application using Jenkins and Docker Compose. Enjoy the fruits of your labor and keep innovating! ๐ŸŒŸ #Jenkins #CI/CD #DevOps #TechJourney #DockerMagic โœจ
