Jenkinsfile

// Example Jenkins pipeline with Cypress end-to-end tests running in parallel on 2 workers
// Pipeline syntax from https://jenkins.io/doc/book/pipeline/

// Setup:
//  before starting Jenkins, I have created several volumes to cache
//  Jenkins configuration, NPM modules and Cypress binary

// docker volume create jenkins-data
// docker volume create npm-cache
// docker volume create cypress-cache

// Start Jenkins command line by line:
//  - run as "root" user (insecure, contact your admin to configure user and groups!)
//  - run Docker in disconnected mode
//  - name running container "blue-ocean"
//  - map port 8080 with Jenkins UI
//  - map volumes for Jenkins data, NPM and Cypress caches
//  - pass Docker socket which allows Jenkins to start worker containers
//  - download and execute the latest BlueOcean Docker image

// docker run \
//   -u root \
//   -d \
//   --name blue-ocean \
//   -p 8080:8080 \
//   -v jenkins-data:/var/jenkins_home \
//   -v npm-cache:/root/.npm \
//   -v cypress-cache:/root/.cache \
//   -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
//   jenkinsci/blueocean:latest

// If you start for the very first time, inspect the logs from the running container
// to see Administrator password - you will need it to configure Jenkins via localhost:8080 UI
//    docker logs blue-ocean
