Puppet and Jenkins Adding Jenkins slaves using puppet code

Question

How can I add jenkins slaves if i am using jenkins module from the puppet forge. Can somebody help me with this?

Answer 1

You can automatically add slaves to jenkins, and have them auto register themselves. Most options are actually optional, as nodes will auto-discover the master, and connect.

It requires the swarm plugin on the master & the class jenkins::slave on the slaves, as below:

node /jenkins-slave.*/ {
      class { 'jenkins::slave':
        masterurl => 'http://jenkins-master1.domain.com:8080',
        ui_user => 'adminuser',
        ui_pass => 'adminpass',
      }
    }

    node /jenkins-master.*/ {
        include jenkins
        include jenkins::master
    }
