Topology

The stack consists of a single container:

• cid-jenkins: the Jenkins application.

Configuration

See also the variables which control integration of the stack into the reverse proxy.
For changes to take effect the stack has to be reinstalled.

First Steps

The stack is preconfigured with the administrative user admin with password admin. The Jenkins postinstallation has already been carried out.

To create a first, very simple Jenkins Job...

• login to Jenkins as admin
• click New Item
• provide a name for your Job and select Freestyle project and click Ok
