Configuring jenkins with ansible and Jenkins configuration as code on vagrant
This repository (https://github.com/rrodolfos/jenkins-single-vagrant-ansible.git) contains vagrant and ansible configuration to deploy and provision a single jenkins server with jenkins configuration as code (a.k.a. JCasC):
DISCLAIMER
This implementation is intended for testing / PoC / playing purposes only, this solution is not scalable or secure enough for live / production environments. Use it at your own risk. Have fun!.
Requirements
The below requirements are needed to deploy and provision Jenkins VM.

- Vagrant 2.2.14
- Vagrant box debian/bullseye64
- Ansible 2.10.8
Included content
- Vagrantfile
- ansible.cfg
- Playbook.yml
- Roles
- common
- jenkins
Vagrantfile
VM machine definition as follow:
- jenkins
- 2 vcpu
- 1024 RAM
- 192.168.33.12 VM ip address
How to build it
Jenkins
This VM deploy a single Jenkins server as follow (by ansible):
- Install Jenkins dependencies
- Copy Jenkins default configuration
- Create Jenkins home
- Create init.groove.d directory with the configuration file (Groovy Hook Scripts) for modules instalation (JCasC among them) into jenkins home

- Have fun!
