Localyzer Jenkins Plugins
Set up Jenkins Plugins
You may setup the plugins used by LRM in two ways:
- Run the setup script using jenkins-cli.jar at the command line
- Install the plugins from the Jenkins interface
Both ways are fine, use either.
Execute install-lingoport-plugins.sh
This way to setup involves downloading the jenkins-cli.jar file, setting some variables, and running the script.
(Note: this is available in LRM 2.2)
Download jenkins-cli.jar
- Navigate to your Jenkins URL followed by cli, for example
- Click on the download link and copy the downloaded jenkins-cli.jar to a location you have access to
- Click on the Login command: An example is given on how to login Jenkins using jenkins-cli.jar. This will be useful soon.
Setup Environment Variables
Two global variables need to be setup:
- Set JENKINS_CLI to the absolute location of the downloaded jenkins-cli.jar file, for example
export JENKINS_CLI=/home/jenkins/jenkins-cli.jar
- Set JENKINS_URL to the URL for Jenkins, for example
export JENKINS_URL=http://locahost:8080/
Login using jenkins-cli.jar
The login command example you saw above should help you login with an account with administrative privileges. It should look like:
java -jar $JENKINS_CLI -s $JENKINS_URL login --username admin --password adminPassword
Execute the install-lingoport-plugins.sh
Go to the directory where the script is located and execute the script. For example:
cd /home/jenkins/lingoport/lrm-server-2.2/jenkins/plugins./install-lingoport-plugins.sh
Restart Jenkins
You may be able to do so with a browser URL such as
Verify the Plugins are Installed
- Navigate to the Jenkins URL for plugins, such as
Use the Jenkins interface
If executing the script does not work for you, an alternative is to setup all the plugins via the Jenkins interface.
The following Jenkins plugins are required. To see what plugins are installed, go to Jenkins -> Manage Jenkins -> Manage Plugins and select the Installed tab.
- Authorization Strategy Plugin (Or another authentication/authorization plugin)
Throttle
Go to Configure (Configure System) and under the Throttle Concurrent Builds, add a category (MAIN for instance) with 1 Maximum Total Concurrent Builds and 1 Maximum Concurrent Builds Per Node.
Every Jenkins job MUST have this throttle setup.
Note
A quick note for the relationship between the TOKEN necessary for the lingotekcall back and security:
1) The plugin is Build Authorization Token Root Plugin, https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Build+Token+Root+Plugin It must be installed. However, if no security is set, jobs cannot be triggered remotely using a TOKEN!!! So ...
2) Make sure security is set. The typical one is first set under Configure Global Security in Manage Jenkins for 'Matrix Security' and 'Using Jenkins Own Database'. Once this is set (as opposed to anonymous everything), one can then use the Build Authorization Token Root in the lingotekcall job: Set the Token to 'LINGOSQUARE'
