# 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
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: 'team@example.com',
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'
)
]) {
