Method of Installation

This is a CI/CD Pipeline for Web Application Using Jenkins, GitHub and Docker.

• Install Jenkins: Jenkins must be installed with a Java Development Kit (JDK) for proper functionality. Steps for successful installation of both can be found at https://www.jenkins.io/doc/book/installing/linux/, for Linux environments. The port 8080 must be allowed if a firewall is set up on your server.
• Install Docker: Docker can also be installed by visiting https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ubuntu/ for an Ubuntu environment and following all the steps given.
• GitHub: No prior installation is needed for GitHub. Login into your GitHub and create a new repository needed for the project.

Usage

This project defines with three main technologies namely Jenkins, GitHub and Docker. Jenkins makes use of Webhooks provided by GitHub to integrate with it. Webhooks serves as a trigger between Jenkins and GitHub. Once code changes as been pushed to GitHub, it triggeers Jenkins automatically through Webhooks. It serves as a pipeline, automated for Build, Test and Deploy purposes with Docker. Jenkins server was installed on my web-01 server for public internet for usage for webhooks and Docker server was installed on my web-02 server for easier integration with Jenkins for Test and Deploy purposes with containers. To deploy with Docker, certain build steps and configurations as to be met with Jenkins.
