Jenkins Custom Distribution Service

Overview

The main idea behind the project is to build a customizable Jenkins distribution service that could be used to build tailor-made Jenkins distributions. The service would provide users with a simple interface to select the configurations they want to build the instance with eg: plugins, authorization matrices etc. Furthermore it would include a section for sharing community created distros so that users can find and download already built Jenkins war/configuration files to use out of the box.

QuickStart

You can spin up the entire web application using a docker compose file command: Build the containers:

docker-compose up -d --build

Run the containers:

docker-compose up

Backend

The backend of the project is built on spring-boot and there is a dockerfile present in the root.

Steps to spin up the backend

Using Dockerfile

a) Create a package:

mvn clean package

b) Build Dockerfile:

docker build -t cds_backend .

c) Run Dockerfile:

docker run -p 5000:8080 cds_backend

Not using Dockerfile

a) Start up the spring boot server

mvn spring-boot:run

Frontend

The frontend of the project is built on react and there is a dockerfile present in the frontend directory.

Steps to spin up the frontend

Using Dockerfile

a) CD into the frontend directory:

cd frontend/

b) Build Dockerfile:
