Setting up Webhooks in Jenkins (step-by-step process)
- To get started with Jenkins Webhooks, we first need to set up an AWS account.
- Go to AWS Management Console
- Click Create a new AWS account or sign in with your credentials if already have one.
- Now launch an EC2 instance along with port 8080 in security groups, Because Jenkins port number is 8080, it works on the 8080 port
EC2 Instance
After launching an instance now it connect to gitbash terminal by using SSH client by
Gitbash terminal
Now we need to install required packages, they Docker, Java, Git and jenkins run time is java so we need to install java package also, following commands were we used to install this packages
Sudo yum -y install docker
Sudo yum -y install git
Sudo yum -y install jenkins
sudo yum -y install java-17*, here * (star) indicates that all modules in java
After completion of installation of jenkins and docker, we need to start and enable docker and jenkins by using following commands:
sudo systemctl start jenkins
sudo systemctl enable jenkins
We can check whether our docker and jenkins were running or not by using following commands
sudo systemctl status jenkins
sudo systemctl status docker
To launch an jenkins page we need to administration password, this administration password was appear when we run an command sudo systemctl status jenkins. It shows in below figure
Highlighted is the administration password
Now copy your instance public IP Address and browse it along with port 8080, example is
44.193.197.70:8080
Jenkins page
Now paste administration password click on continue fill the user data and credentials.
Official page of jenkins
- Now Install Plugins
- Jenkin is an open-source and there are numbers of plugins that have been published by the Jenkins community. We need to install the webhook plugin for our application.
- Go to Manage Jenkins → Manage Plugins → Available tab and search for webhook plugin and buildpipeline plugin
- Install the plugin (Plugin will automatically install all its dependencies)
How To Setup Up Jenkins Webhooks For Automated Builds?
Jenkins is a broadly utilized open-source automation server that assists with automating the building, testing, and deployment of software applications. One of the main elements of Jenkins is its ability to coordinate with different tools and services. In this article, we will zero in on setting up the Jenkins GitHub webhook integration.
Let’s first understand what a webhook is before we get into the specifics. A webhook is a way for an application to send continuous data to another application. A webhook is a way that GitHub notifies Jenkins of changes to a repository in the context of Jenkins and GitHub. In response to the webhook notification, Jenkins can then build and test the code automatically. When a new commit is pushed to a GitHub repository, Jenkins uses the webhook to start a build.
