将Jenkins CI部署到Heroku

Question

Is there a way to run Jenkins CI as an Heroku app?

It is possible to run Java Apps on heroku but I cannot find description of how to make Jenkins run on Heroku anywhere.

Very grateful for hints.

Answer 1

Easy enough to load Jenkins as a heroku app

1) pom.xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!--
  Just need a plain and mostly empty pom.xml for Orchard to detect that this is a Java application
-->
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
         xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
         xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd">
    <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
    <groupId>com.example</groupId>
    <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
    <artifactId>helloworld</artifactId>
</project>

2. A Procfile that looks like this:

Only listen on http; disable ajp and https

web: java -jar jenkins.war --httpPort=$PORT --ajp13Port=-1 --httpsPort=-1

3. The jenkins.war file.

The real problem becomes that jenkins uses the local filesystem for storage and the local storage is not persistent in the Heroku environment so you have to manage your configuration regularly or using the github storage add-on.
