Jenkins has powerful feature of master slave architecture which enables distributed builds. This article we will learn how to establish slave nodes on Ubuntu machines and integrate with Jenkins Master. Jenkins Master Your main Jenkins server is the Master. The Master’s job is to handle: Scheduling build jobs. Dispatching builds to the slaves for the actual execution. Monitor the slaves (possibly taking them online and offline as required). Recording and presenting the build results. A Master instance of Jenkins can also execute build jobs directly. Jenkins Slave A Slave is a Java executable that runs on a remote machine. Following are the characteristics of Jenkins Slaves: It hears requests from the Jenkins Master instance. Slaves can run on a variety of operating systems. The job of a Slave is to do as they are told to, which involves executing build jobs dispatched by the Master. You can configure a project to always run on a particular Slave machine, or a particular type of Slave ma

  How to setup SonaType Nexus 3 using Docker compose? Nexus is open source, binary repository manager and Java based tool. It can be installed quickly using Docker with less manual steps. What is Docker Compose? Compose is a tool for defining and running multi-container Docker applications. With Compose, you use a YAML file to configure your application’s services. Then, with a single command, you create and start all the services from your configuration.  Since Docker Compose lets you configure related containers in a single YAML file, you get the same Infrastructure-as-Code abilities as Kubernetes. But they come in a simpler system that’s more suited to smaller applications that don’t need Kubernetes’ resiliency and scaling.   The purpose of  docker - compose  is to function as  docker  cli but to  issue multiple command s much more quickly. To make use of  docker - compose , you  need  to encode the commands you were running before into a  docker - compose . yml  file   Run  docker
