  Final Exam Technical Notes

  • A confusing note about a Jenkins docker pipeline. Jenkins automatically mounts your jenkins container workspace into your Docker container in the pipeline. So a pwd will show as the same directory as in your jenkins container. Look at the logs carefully when it starts up your docker container in your project.
  • A user must have Admin access to a repository on GitHub for CircleCI integration. The Final Exam GitHub Classroom repositories were not set up that way and there is no way for me to edit the assignment and add that back in. So I have to manually change it for each repository. Of course, I cannot do that until the repository is created. I will check occasionally. If you need it allowed earlier, let me know. You all do have Admin access to the markturn and markturnDocker repositories.
  • Install the Docker Pipeline plugin to use docker containers in a pipeline. I was going to show this in a screencast, but the server was down at the time.
  • If you get a permission problem on /var/run/docker.sock, then you need do the following in the Jenkins container as root:

    Note: Your day and time will be different. Also note that it may not save the permissions between starts. The group however, is saved.

• Final Exam Posted: Nov 30

  The Final Exam is due by 4 pm on Sunday, Dec 13 by 4 pm.

  Do the following on the markturn project. You can also use another codebase; make sure that the source repository is public or have access.

  • Implement either a Jenkins pipeline or CircleCI Students in 3460:589 must implement both.

  • Implement 2 additional features that these platforms provide that I did not show in class. These features can be either:

    • 2 additional features in a Jenkins pipeline
    • 2 additional features in CircleCI
    • 1 feature in a Jenkins pipeline and 1 feature in CircleCI

    You may find it easier to implement a similar feature in both Jenkins and CircleCI.

  • Write up a comparison of Jenkins pipeline and CircleCI. Discuss the additional features that you implemented.

  There is a GitHub Classroom repository for this project. Fill in the Report.md, and put any other code in this repository.
