Who faced the setting of Continuous Deployment?

Question

VMware

Faced with the task of setting up Continuous Deployment. From improvised means there are Jenkins and Vsphera where Selenium tests can be run. But how to set everything up correctly? I would be grateful for good links or comments with advice.

Answer 1

I usually load commands in jenkins bash that I can issue from the console. The only automation that falls on his plugin is to pull the git repository every few minutes and check if there are new commits there.
Simplified, the installation scheme looks like this:
1) I install jenkins
2) I create a task and set up import from the git repository.
3) I look into which folder he downloaded everything, go there in the console, log in as the jenkins user (sudo -u jenkins -i).
4) I run tests from the console under this user, collect and deploy everything that is needed.
5) I put successful commands from point 4 into the Jenkins task so that he repeats all this himself.
Now, however, jenkins launches ansible and it already configures the servers itself, but that's a completely different story)
