Chapter 24. Configuring Pipeline Execution

The first time a user creates a build configuration using the Pipeline build strategy, OpenShift Container Platform looks for the a template named jenkins-ephemeral in the openshift namespace and instantiates it within the user’s project. The jenkins-ephemeral template that ships with OpenShift Container Platform creates, upon instantiation:

Cluster administrators can control what is created by either modifying the content of the built-in template, or by editing the cluster configuration to direct the cluster to a different template location.

To modify the content of the default template:

oc edit template jenkins-ephemeral -n openshift

$ oc edit template jenkins-ephemeral -n openshift

To use a different template, such as the jenkins-persistent template which uses persistent storage for Jenkins, add the following to your master configuration file:

jenkinsPipelineConfig:
  autoProvisionEnabled: true 
  templateNamespace: openshift 
  templateName: jenkins-pipeline 
  serviceName: jenkins-pipeline-svc 
  parameters: 
    key1: value1
    key2: value2

jenkinsPipelineConfig:
  autoProvisionEnabled: true 

  templateNamespace: openshift 

  templateName: jenkins-pipeline 

  serviceName: jenkins-pipeline-svc 

  parameters: 

    key1: value1
    key2: value2
