Let's try Jenkins

Currently, I use Travis CI for my github projects. Well, it does the job, but I wanted to try another CI.
Jenkins is used where I work, so let's give it a try.

I chose to use the docker version:

docker pull jenkins
mkdir jenkins
docker run -d -p 49001:8080 -v $PWD/jenkins:/var/jenkins_home -t jenkins

And it's on.

The first page invite you to install some recommended plugins. And it's really easy to add some more in Manage Jenkins -> Manage Plugins

I installed the new UI (Blue Ocean) to use the simplified pipeline management. To access this new interface, just add /blue at the end of jenkins url.

If you don't know about pipelines, just follow this link.

It is possible to create a pipeline in a few simple steps. First click on New Pipeline then follow the instructions. If there is no Jenkinsfile on the repository, it is possible to create one directly from jenkins UI and commit it to master or another branch.

It is really simple to use.
