Deploy Jenkins in the Kubernetes cluster
Deploying Jenkins on a Kubernetes cluster can be quite beneficial for managing CI/CD pipelines efficiently. Here's a general guide to get you started:
Prerequisites:
You should have a running Kubernetes cluster.
kubectl should be configured to connect to your cluster.
Check Kubernetes cluster and nodes
Setup Jenkins deployment
Create the Jenkins directory and navigate the directory
mkdir jenkins
cd jenkins
Create a Jenkins deployment YAML file
Create a YAML file called jenkins-deployment.yaml with the following content
vi jenkins-deployment.yaml
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
name: jenkins
spec:
replicas: 1
selector:
matchLabels:
app: jenkins
template:
metadata:
labels:
app: jenkins
spec:
containers:
- name: jenkins
image: jenkins/jenkins:lts
ports:
- name: http-port
containerPort: 8080
- name: jnlp-port
containerPort: 50000
volumeMounts:
- name: jenkins-vol
mountPath: /var/jenkins_home
volumes:
- name: jenkins-vol
emptyDir: {}
Create a Jenkins service YAML file
Expose the Jenkins deployment using a NodePort service:
vi jenkins-service.yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: jenkins
spec:
selector:
app: jenkins
ports:
- name: http-port
port: 8080
targetPort: 8080
nodePort: 30000
type: NodePort
Apply the YAML file to create the Jenkins service:
kubectl apply -f jenkins-deployment.yaml
kubectl apply -f jenkins-service.yaml
Check the service's
To verify if the Jenkins service is running from your terminal, execute the following command:
Access Jenkins:
Access Jenkins using the external IP and NodePort:
Navigate to the NeevCloud panel > Server > Select your node > copy Public_IP
Check Node Port
http://Node_IP: Nodeport
Run this path on your terminal using the sudo (root user)
