Multiple jenkins's on one mashine

[FerkSwe]

Hello everyone. I'm sorry if what I am about to ask will sound completely retarded, but then so be it.

Okay, first off, I have no idea what I'm doing and the only reason I'm doing it is because I want to be able to provide free jenkins's for people that want them, specifically within the minecraft community. I have a thread on the bukkit forums where I give testservers, webhosting, filehosting and similar away and I want to add jenkins to that list. But to be able to do that I am coming to you with my questions.

So, I have a Dedicated server with CentOs 6 on it. Upon this I wish to host more than one Jenkins. And I have no clue how. 

I do know that I would prefer if each Jenkins had it's own user, it's own port and can be controlled individually.

I'm sorry if some of you get offended by me not reading up on stuff but I have tried and it's just very confusing. 

I came across this thread but it didn't really help me all that much since, as stated before, I have no clue what I am doing.

So if someone could point me in the right direction, maybe a tutorial or something? Or maybe even be so nice as to explain it to me I would be very thankful. 

Thanks for atleast reading my silly request.

For a start, jenkins saves its configurations in a folder so to be independant of each other you need to override it for each instance : https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Tomcat

Also other options to set the http port and others are specified here : https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Starting+and+Accessing+Jenkins

I'm on my iphone, so hard to write long explanation text, but that's a start.

Okay, let's say I go with the tomcat solution. 

Then I would first install tomcat, and in Tomcat's home/webapps I would put jenkins.war? And to add another jenkins just rename it Jenkins.war maybe?

If I understand the guide Tomcat will take care of the rest after I give it a war file to play with.

Have I understood things correct?

Thanks for your response!

I went to https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Tomcat and double-checked.  What you do depends on how you want the URLs to look.

 

If you have Tomcat on yourhost:8080, then adding a Jenkins war file called “jenkins.war” will create a Jenkins instance rooted at http://yourhost:8080/jenkins.  Adding a second one as “Jenkins.war” will create http://yourhost:8080/Jenkins.  This looks too confusing.

 

If you want multiple Jenkins instances all available at port 8080, make copies of your Jenkins WAR file with names matching what you want for URL.  Rename it minecraft1.war for http://yourhost:8080/minecraft1.

 

Also, you will need to set the environment using the servlet context descriptor.  If you use an actual environment variable, that’s the same throughout Tomcat (as Tomcat is one process), and all the Jenkins instances will be pointing to the same configuration (and job run) files.  Even if you want them to be identical, this is not how you want to do it.

Okay, so this would be the easiest way? Is there any other way? yourhost:8080/name does indeed look a bit confusing. Is there any way I can get yourhost:8080 as one jenkins and yourhost:8081 as another?

If you run with the embedded winstone instead of tomcat you can run
each on a different port.  And either way, you can run apache with the
ajp proxy module to accept on the normal port 80 and redirect to
whatever port/path the instance is running on.

Okay, so 

Step one:

Figure out and install winstone

Step two: 

Install jenkins with the help of winstone

Step Three:

Get ajp proxy module for apache and make it all awesome

Got'ya!

in jenkins.war

they packaged winstone also.

if you need to run more than one instance 

 set JENKINS_HOME in enviroment variable for each jenkins instance.

and  start with java -jar jenkins.war  --ajp13Port=8184 --httpPort=8183
