Jenkins on Mesos

This Jenkins plugin allows Jenkins to dynamically launch Jenkins slaves on a Mesos cluster depending on the workload!

Building the plugin

First configure the jenkins target:

    $ ./bootstrap
    $ mkdir -p build && cd build
    $ ../configure

Now build the plugin:

    $ cd jenkins
    $ make jenkins

This should build the Mesos plugin (mesos.hpi) in the ‘target’ folder.

Installing the plugin

Go to ‘Manage Plugins’ page in Jenkins Web UI and manually upload and install the plugin.

Alternatively, you can just copy the plugin to your Jenkins plugins directory (this might need a restart of Jenkins).

    $ cp target/mesos.hpi ${JENKINS_HOME}/plugins

Configuring the plugin

Now go to ‘Configure’ page in Jenkins. If the plugin is successfully installed you should see an option to ‘Add a new cloud’ at the bottom of the page. Add the ‘Mesos Cloud’ and give it the address (HOST:PORT) of a running Mesos master. Click ‘Save’ for the plugin to connect to Mesos.

Login to the Mesos master's Web UI to verify that the plugin is registered as ‘Jenkins Framework’.

Configuring Jenkins jobs

Finally, just add ‘mesos’ label to the jobs that you want to be run on a Jenkins slave launched on Mesos.

Thats it!
