Jenkins CI Server

Ubuntu

• installed on Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot)

apt-get remove apache bind9

Mono

• using Mono 2.10 for best support for c# 4.0 etc

apt-get install mono-runtime mono-xbuild mono-gmcs

other development tools

apt-get install bzr doxygen

NAnt

• apt-get install nant
• then download latest NAnt, NAnt 0.91 Release
• unpack tar.gz file to /usr/local/nant-0.91
• modify /usr/bin/nant and point at /usr/local/nant-0.91/bin/NAnt.exe

• somehow, there is a problem when building for mono-2.0 or mono-4.0. The solution is to have two NAnt profiles:

the default /usr and the other is /usr/local/nant-for-4.0

/usr/bin/nant:

#!/bin/sh
#exec /usr/bin/cli /usr/lib/NAnt/NAnt.exe "$@"
mono --runtime=v2.0 /usr/local/nant-0.91/bin/NAnt.exe "$@"

/usr/local/nant-for-4.0/bin/nant:

#!/bin/sh
#exec /usr/bin/cli /usr/lib/NAnt/NAnt.exe "$@"
mono --runtime=v4.0 /usr/local/nant-0.91/bin/NAnt.exe "$@"

Jenkins

• http://pkg.jenkins-ci.org/debian-stable/

wget -q -O - http://pkg.jenkins-ci.org/debian-stable/jenkins-ci.org.key | sudo apt-key add -
vi /etc/apt/sources.list:
  deb http://pkg.jenkins-ci.org/debian-stable binary/

apt-get update
apt-get install jenkins

• change port to 80: https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Installing+Jenkins+on+Ubuntu
  • better to use lighttpd because Apache needs another 200 MB of RAM.
  • /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf

add mod_proxy to the server.modules list, and at the bottom:
proxy.server = (
   "/" => (( "host" => "127.0.0.1", "port" => 8080)),
)

• setup security: https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Standard+Security+Setup
