jenkins job dsl ide about ciis0.github.io

[ciis0]

iteration 1:

• folder on controller (rhel7)
• chmod g+ws
• i worked directly on controller via vim + jenkins ssh cli
• others via samba mount
• 👎 git via samba is not very performant

[ciis0]

iteration 2:

• GUI: coder-server instead of samba
  • 👎 dedicated tool not integrated into other people's tools
• Shell: sshfs
  • 👎 bad git performance

iteration 3:

sync folder on controller to working environment with unison.

server is RHEL which does not have unison in repos, install from GH releases, into /opt/unison; this requires to add -servercmd /opt/unison/bin/unison, but for brevity omitted below.

init with (-force prefers that root during conflict resolution):
unison job-dsl ssh://controller//var/lib/jenkins/job-dsl -force ssh://controller//var/lib/jenkins/job-dsl -auto
keep in sync by adding -repeat watch.

unison with prf file:

# ~/.unison/job-dsl-prf.prf
root=job-dsl
root=ssh://controller//var/lib/jenkins/job-dsl
force=newer
auto=true
servercmd=/opt/unison/bin/unison

init	unison job-dsl-prf (unison will create the job-dsl directory from profile for you)
sync	unison job-dsl-prf -repeat watch
