A Simple Task To Execute With Jenkins Job

On the previous section, we've created a job and connected with GitHub as SCM for the job. Now, we'll execute a simple task. How is it going?

1. Create Bash Script
Cause I'm still new with Jenkins. I don't want to make it too hard. So, here I'm going to create simple bash script just for running two commands to install web server and change the HTML code.

#!/bin/bash
sudo apt install apache2 -y
sudo bash -c 'echo "Hello World! Web 1" > /var/www/html/index.html'

Then, I'll push it to the GitHub repository.

2. Add Rule To The Security Group
As I mentioned before, because we host the Jenkins on cloud. We need to create new rule for additional setting. For example: in this case we're going to install web server, then port 80 should be allowed for incoming traffic. So, here I add new rule to the existing security group that we used.

$ aws ec2 authorize-security-group-ingress --group-name jenkins --protocol tcp --port 80 --cidr 0.0.0.0/0
Return: true

3. Build Now
Now, we are ready to execute the job. Let's add the command under Build Environment, then click Build Now!

Access the web server!
