➡️Building a CI/CD Pipeline with Jenkins, Docker, and GitHub

🌟 Objective
To create a Jenkins pipeline that automates the deployment of an Apache web server
containerized with Docker. The Dockerfile and project files are sourced directly from a GitHub
repository, ensuring seamless integration and version control.
➡️Key Achievements
1. Dockerized Apache Web Server
- Created a `Dockerfile` to configure and build a Docker image for the Apache server.
- The image exposes port 80 and is optimized for containerized deployment.

2. Integrated Jenkins with GitHub


- Configured the pipeline to clone the repository from GitHub dynamically during each run.
- Handled potential issues like pre-existing directories to maintain a clean workspace.

3. Automated CI/CD Pipeline


Built a Jenkins pipeline with the following stages:
- Clone Repository: Fetches the latest code from GitHub.
- Build Docker Image: Builds the Apache Docker image.
- Run Docker Container: Starts the container, mapping it to the appropriate host port.
- Check Container Status: Verifies the container is running successfully.

4. Resolved Real-World Challenges


- Port Conflicts: Encountered and fixed issues where port `8080` was already in use by
dynamically changing ports or stopping conflicting processes.
- Docker Permissions: Overcame permission issues by configuring user access to the Docker
daemon.
- Clean Workspace Management: Added cleanup steps to ensure smooth pipeline runs.

5. Improved Pipeline Robustness


- Introduced error handling for existing containers and added cleanup steps to prevent resource
conflicts.

➡️Technologies Used
- Jenkins: Orchestrated the entire CI/CD process.
- Docker: Built, deployed, and managed the Apache server container.
- GitHub: Centralized version control for the `Dockerfile` and project assets.
- Linux: Configured system-level permissions and resolved conflicts.
✅ Key Takeaways
This project underscored the importance of automation and robustness in DevOps pipelines. By
integrating Jenkins with Docker and GitHub, I learned how to build an end-to-end pipeline that is
efficient, scalable, and capable of handling real-world scenarios like permission issues and
resource conflicts.
Next Steps
➡️Looking forward to expanding this project by:
- Adding automated tests to the pipeline.
- Deploying the containerized application on Kubernetes.
- Monitoring and logging with tools like Prometheus and Grafana.
