Adding Plugins

The Jenkins masters which run in the Code Valet cluster will take the latest core build and build the master branch of all the plugins listed in plugins.txt in this repository, and all of those plugins' dependencies.

In order to propose a new plugin, submit a pull request editing plugins.txt with the name of the plugin repository under github.com/jenkinsci/.

Meta

Problem

The Jenkins project faces a challenge unusual to other contemporary CI/CD tools in that it is downloaded and executed on a user’s machine(s) rather than as a service. While this offers quite a lot of flexibility to the end-user, it puts Jenkins developers at a disadvantage for a number of reasons:

  1. There is no direct return line of feedback from where their code is executed. No error reports, etc.

  2. There is a significant lag between developers releasing code and it being adopted/used.

Solution

A free service which provides basic CI/CD functions, with Jenkins as the core platform, to all open source repositories on GitHub.

With a regularly updated "Jenkins distribution," consisting of many of the key plugins which people use, built from master, and rolled through the Code Valet cluster. Providing rapid, real-world, usage of Jenkins code.

Goals

  1. Provide a rapid feedback loop for Jenkins developers through real-world usage.

  2. Introduce new people to the wonders of Jenkins Pipeline and Blue Ocean.
