How To Create Freestyle project/job in Jenkins

To Create Freedata-style project/job in Jenkin

Introduction of Jenkins

Jenkins is an open-source automation tool written in Java with plugins designed for Continuous Integration. Jenkins builds and tests your software projects continuously, making it easier for developers to integrate changes to the project and for users to get a fresh build. The tool also enables you to continuously deliver your applications.

Procedure

Step 1: Check the IP address by using the below command

[root@linuxhelp ~]# ip a

1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
    inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 ::1/128 scope host 
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
2: ens33: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 00:0c:29:b8:f7:db brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 192.168.6.122/23 brd 192.168.7.255 scope global noprefixroute ens33
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 fe80::20c:29ff:feb8:f7db/64 scope link noprefixroute 
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

Step 2: Restart Jenkins server by using the below command

[root@linuxhelp ~]# systemctl restart jenkins.service

Step 3: Search Jenkins server IP address and port number as shown in the below image

Step 4: This is the Login page of Jenkins

Step 5: This is the dashboard of Jenkins

Step 6: Click New item to create a new project

Step 7: Enter the item name (projectName)

Step 8: Select freedata-style project and click ok

Step 9: This is the dash board of the project. Now save and exit as shown in the below image

Step 10: Move to the terminal

Step 11: Change the directory to Jenkins default workspace location by using the below command

[root@linuxhelp ~]# cd /var/lib/jenkins/workspace/

Step 12: Long list the workspace using the below command

[root@linuxhelp workspace]# ls -la

total 4
drwxr-xr-x.  2 jenkins jenkins    6 Jul  2 06:06 .
drwxr-xr-x. 16 jenkins jenkins 4096 Jul  2 06:08 ..

Step 13: There is no workspace found

Step 14: Go to Jenkins web console again

Step 15: Now click build now

Step 16: This is the page of console output

Step 17: Move to the workspace location to check whether the project is successfully created.

Step 18: Then long list the default work space location

[root@linuxhelp workspace]# ls –la

total 4
drwxr-xr-x.  3 jenkins jenkins   26 Jul  2 06:12  .
drwxr-xr-x. 16 jenkins jenkins 4096 Jul  2 06:08  ..
drwxr-xr-x.  2 jenkins jenkins    6 Jul  2 06:12 'Test project'
