Analysis

Overview

Task requirements

• you should run an instance of the Hudson server on the Sophie server machine.
  • create user for the Hudson server on the machine
  • the needed variables must be set correctly(JAVA_HOME, PATH, HUDSON_HOME,...)
  • there should be a Hudson log file on appropriate place. (the build folder where the server will be set up)
  • there should be bash script which runs the server on machine start
  • create users for all the developers to have access to the build server. Create authentication rules for each of the Hudson users.
  • write BUILD_SERVER_DEPLOYMENTS page with tutorial how to build the project and use the reports generated by Hudson.
  • Research the send mail option and configure it if it is possible

• All of these requirements except the last two were completed in BUILD_SERVER_INSTANCE_R0 task.

Task result

• See BUILD_SERVER_INSTANCE_R0.
• Wiki BUILD_SERVER_DEPLOYMENTS page with the build server tutorial.
• authentication rules for the hudson users.
• received mails on every build

Implementation idea

• See BUILD_SERVER_INSTANCE_R0.
• use Hudson tutorial: ​http://hudson.gotdns.com/wiki/display/HUDSON/Use+Hudson
• Use Matrix-based security in the Hudson configuration.

How to demo

• See BUILD_SERVER_INSTANCE_R0.
• Show the wiki tutorial page
• Show the new authentication rules to the developers.
• Build the project and show the received mail

Design

• See BUILD_SERVER_INSTANCE_R0 for the requirements which intercede with the instance task.
• BUILD_SERVER_DEPLOYMENTS created.
• In http://sophie2.org:8080/configure choose matrix-based security for authentication
  • you can write users and add them to the table. Each row represents an user.
  • decide the anonymous authentication - he/she should have only read privilidges
• update Hudson to its new version - 1.265. Update the report plugins also.
• for the e-mail notification:
  • use the manage hudson->system configuration to set up the smtp server
  • use sophie 2 job configuration to set up the emails and to check the e-mail notification option
• fill the project description (in sophie2 job configuration)

Implementation

• See BUILD_SERVER_INSTANCE_R0.
• emails notification were configured but Hudson sends emails depending on the unstable modules(which are five in our case). For now the decision is not to send emails until stable build - then we can send mails to the people who broke the build.
• the authentication is matrix-based - for all the users are set authentication rules. Only me can create and delete jobs and manage users.
• the project description is filled.
