Hi,
My project consists of a number of services and i have a build-deploy-test
pipeline for each. The infrastructure consists of an array of docker hosts
where applications are deployed and tested and i have no shortage of them.
The build part (mostly maven) happens on Jenkins master node only. For the
deployment n testing, i have a dedicated Ansible machine and a jmeter host
machine which has the latest version of them installed. I would like to
change that to be able to specify a version of Ansible and Jmeter. Now the
deployment and test machines are where i feel the shortage of hardware.
Today i was experimenting with docker pipeline plugin majorly because i
hoped to put the abundant docker machines to do the deployments and tests
as well. I couldn't get it to work because my docker daemons are not
listening on the default or any other port and i will have to get it
changed. I have a few questions that will basically help me decide if this
plugin is of any use in my situation or not.
1- I will be using only remote docker hosts to start slave containers and i
will be implementing everything with pipeline code. During this execution,
is it still going to eat up an executor on master ?
2 - Is this plugin any easier to use than just adding the docker machines
as slaves and start the containers via sh commands and executing what you
need ?
3 - Is Jenkins creating any workspace on remote docker host via this syntax
- docker.withServer('tcp://dockerhost:2376', 'credentials') {...} ? How is
doing it without SSH ?
4 - I do my maven builds on master node and obviously there is a huge
cache. Is there any benefit running the maven build inside a container on
master node after mounting the cache ? It looks like it is only going to
take more resources.
5 - In the docker pipeline syntax, it seems like we have to specify a port
for this temp container - withRun('-p 8080:80')
how do i make sure that different pipelines get a free port everytime
?
