Configuring Jenkins with a Discord Bot

This guide demonstrates how I integrated Jenkins with my Discord bot for CI/CD tasks.

Prerequisites

• Any Linux OS.
• Docker installed.

---

1. Create a Docker Container With Jenkins

This is done by inputting the command

sudo docker run -p 8080:8080 -p 50000:50000 -d -v jenkins_home:/var/jenkins_home jenkins/jenkins:lts

Explanation

• Runs on port 8080 as its the default web server port.
• Exposes port 50000 for master/slave communication.
• -d runs in detached mode allowing the container to run in the background.
• -v jenkins_home:/var/jenkins_home binds the volume jenkins_home to the system directory /var/jenkins_home.

2. Verify the container is Running and Retrieve Temporary Admin Password

Input to retrieve active docker containers:

sudo docker ps

Output of previous command

Now input this and scroll up to retrieve the first sign in password:

sudo docker logs <CONTAINER ID>

Scroll up to see something like this. Copy and Paste the password string

3. Final Jenkins Installation

Install all suggested packages

Wait and ensure all packages are installed

Afterwards, Jenkins can be accessed at localhost:8080 (on local machine) or <IP SUBNET>:8080 if the container is running on a VM.
