jenkins – skill DevOps & Hạ tầng cho agent AI

Jenkins

Build, test, and deploy applications using Jenkins, the leading open-source automation server.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:

• Setting up Jenkins pipelines (declarative or scripted)
• Configuring Jenkins agents and executors
• Managing Jenkins plugins and security
• Creating shared libraries for pipeline reuse
• Integrating Jenkins with external tools

Controller, agent and secret scope

Verify the current Jenkins release's supported Java version and plugin compatibility; Java 11 is not a universal current requirement. Isolate untrusted PR builds from controller/admin credentials and production-capable agents. The privileged docker:dind example is an exceptional host-risk configuration, not a secure default; prefer a reviewed isolated builder. Branch conditions alone are not deploy authorization or proof the source is trusted. Scope credentials to the smallest trusted stage, never interpolate secrets into URLs/arguments or shared logs, and obtain applicable deployment/notification authority. Pin reviewed agent images and shared-library revisions.

Prerequisites

• Jenkins server (2.x or later)
• Admin access to Jenkins
• Java 11+ on Jenkins server
• Basic Groovy understanding for pipelines

Declarative Pipeline

Create Jenkinsfile in repository root:

pipeline {
    agent any
    
    environment {
        DOCKER_REGISTRY = 'registry.example.com'
        APP_NAME = 'myapp'
    }
    
    stages {
        stage('Build') {
            steps {
                sh 'npm ci'
                sh 'npm run build'
            }
        }
        
        stage('Test') {
            steps {
                sh 'npm test'
            }
            post {
                always {
                    junit 'test-results/*.xml'
                }
            }
        }
        
        stage('Deploy') {
            when {
                branch 'main'
            }
            steps {
                sh './deploy.sh'
            }
        }
    }
    
    post {
        failure {
            mail to: '[email protected]',
                 subject: "Pipeline Failed: ${env.JOB_NAME}",
                 body: "Check console output at ${env.BUILD_URL}"
        }
    }
}

Agent Configuration

Docker Agent

pipeline {
    agent {
        docker {
            image 'node:20'
            args '-v /tmp:/tmp'
        }
    }
    stages {
        stage('Build') {
            steps {
                sh 'npm ci && npm run build'
            }
        }
    }
}

Kubernetes Agent

pipeline {
    agent {
        kubernetes {
            yaml '''
                apiVersion: v1
                kind: Pod
                spec:
                  containers:
                  - name: node
                    image: node:20
                    command:
                    - sleep
                    args:
                    - infinity
                  - name: docker
                    image: docker:24-dind
                    securityContext:
                      privileged: true
            '''
        }
    }
    stages {
        stage('Build') {
            steps {
                container('node') {
                    sh 'npm ci && npm run build'
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Labeled Agents

pipeline {
    agent { label 'linux && docker' }
    stages {
        stage('Build') {
            steps {
                sh 'make build'
            }
        }
    }
}

Parameters

pipeline {
    agent any
    
    parameters {
        string(name: 'BRANCH', defaultValue: 'main', description: 'Branch to build')
        choice(name: 'ENVIRONMENT', choices: ['dev', 'staging', 'prod'], description: 'Target environment')
        booleanParam(name: 'RUN_TESTS', defaultValue: true, description: 'Run tests?')
    }
    
    stages {
        stage('Deploy') {
            when {
                expression { params.ENVIRONMENT == 'prod' }
            }
            steps {
                sh "deploy.sh ${params.ENVIRONMENT}"
            }
        }
    }
}

Credentials

Using Credentials

pipeline {
    agent any
    
    environment {
        AWS_CREDS = credentials('aws-credentials')
        DOCKER_CREDS = credentials('docker-hub')
    }
    
    stages {
        stage('Deploy') {
            steps {
                withCredentials([
                    usernamePassword(
                        credentialsId: 'github-token',
                        usernameVariable: 'GH_USER',
                        passwordVariable: 'GH_TOKEN'
                    )
                ]) {
                    // Use the reviewed Jenkins SCM credential binding for an approved push.
                    // Never put the token into a remote URL or process arguments.
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Parallel Stages

pipeline {
    agent any
    
    stages {
        stage('Tests') {
            parallel {
                stage('Unit Tests') {
                    steps {
                        sh 'npm run test:unit'
                    }
                }
                stage('Integration Tests') {
                    steps {
                        sh 'npm run test:integration'
                    }
                }
                stage('E2E Tests') {
                    steps {
                        sh 'npm run test:e2e'
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Shared Libraries

Library Structure

vars/
├── buildApp.groovy
├── deployApp.groovy
└── notifySlack.groovy
src/
└── com/example/
    └── Pipeline.groovy
resources/
└── templates/
    └── deployment.yaml

Define Shared Step

// vars/buildApp.groovy
def call(Map config = [:]) {
    def nodeVersion = config.nodeVersion ?: '20'
    
    docker.image("node:${nodeVersion}").inside {
        sh 'npm ci'
        sh 'npm run build'
    }
}

Use Shared Library

@Library('my-shared-library') _

pipeline {
    agent any
    
    stages {
        stage('Build') {
            steps {
                buildApp(nodeVersion: '20')
            }
        }
        stage('Deploy') {
            steps {
                deployApp(environment: 'staging')
            }
        }
    }
    
    post {
        failure {
            notifySlack(channel: '#builds', status: 'FAILED')
        }
    }
}

Scripted Pipeline

node('linux') {
    try {
        stage('Checkout') {
            checkout scm
        }
        
        stage('Build') {
            docker.image('node:20').inside {
                sh 'npm ci'
                sh 'npm run build'
            }
        }
        
        stage('Test') {
            sh 'npm test'
        }
        
        if (env.BRANCH_NAME == 'main') {
            stage('Deploy') {
                sh './deploy.sh'
            }
        }
    } catch (e) {
        currentBuild.result = 'FAILURE'
        throw e
    } finally {
        cleanWs()
    }
}

Plugin Management

Essential Plugins

// Install via Jenkins CLI or init.groovy.d
def plugins = [
    'workflow-aggregator',      // Pipeline
    'git',                      // Git integration
    'docker-workflow',          // Docker Pipeline
    'kubernetes',               // Kubernetes agent
    'credentials-binding',      // Credentials
    'blueocean',               // Blue Ocean UI
    'job-dsl',                 // Job DSL
    'configuration-as-code'    // JCasC
]

Configuration as Code

# jenkins.yaml
jenkins:
  systemMessage: "Jenkins configured via JCasC"
  numExecutors: 2
  
  securityRealm:
    local:
      users:
        - id: admin
          password: ${ADMIN_PASSWORD}
  
  authorizationStrategy:
    globalMatrix:
      permissions:
        - "Overall/Administer:admin"
        - "Overall/Read:authenticated"

credentials:
  system:
    domainCredentials:
      - credentials:
          - usernamePassword:
              id: "docker-hub"
              username: "user"
              password: ${DOCKER_PASSWORD}

Multibranch Pipeline

// Automatically discovers branches with Jenkinsfile
// Configure in Jenkins UI: New Item > Multibranch Pipeline

// Branch-specific behavior in Jenkinsfile
pipeline {
    agent any
    
    stages {
        stage('Deploy') {
            when {
                anyOf {
                    branch 'main'
                    branch 'release/*'
                }
            }
            steps {
                sh './deploy.sh'
            }
        }
    }
}

Common Issues

Issue: Pipeline Syntax Errors

Problem: Jenkinsfile fails to parse

Solution: Use Pipeline Syntax generator in Jenkins UI, validate with jenkins-cli

Issue: Agent Not Connecting

Problem: Build agents disconnect

Solution: Check agent logs, verify network connectivity, increase timeout settings

Issue:
