How to Create an Agent Node in Jenkins

[@abhishekjha5063]

Excellent way of teaching, calmly and in depth ! Thank you SIr !

[@amitrastogi1405]

Your videos are awesome, crisp and up to the point. Thanks a lot! The video helped me in setting up a docker build agent!

[@DevArt59]

Best videos I've seen, thank you for in depth explanations rather than "just do this" without the why, you got my sub

Being new to CI/CD and trying to learn it on my own, there are a number of places where I seem to have made assumptions that are faulty, making it difficult to get this to run successfully. For starters, I was trying to run this on my home Ubuntu machine. I don't understand the distinctions made about the various launch methods. Running at 13:50, the SSH connection is being refused. I'm going to start over, install on a remote server and see if things work/make more sense. I am doing this video lesson because I realized I needed to better understand how agents work in order to be able to succeed with the main goal tutorial "How to Build and Deploy a Java Web Application Using Jenkins". I like this teacher and this series, but it may be a little over my current knowledge level and it's been a challenge figuring out what the missing pieces are. There are a confusingly large number of videos on this channel.

Thanks alot, really helpful! One thing i was missing was the fact that i had to add this plugin "SSH Build Agents" to accomplish this process

[@praveenthuyamani101]

Your videos are just amazing; Can you please create a playlist by reordering theses videos

[@godzilla47111]

Hello Darin When you refer to previous videos you've recorded, could you kindly add links to those videos in the video description? It would greatly help in finding those videos and using the information provided there as a building block to understand the content in the current video.

[@prashantgaikwad4478]

This video doesn't show how the add HOSTNAME/IP address of an agent to the controller. Can you help in setting it up?

[@majorgear1021]

How do you specify which agent to run on in the JenkinsFile (pipeline file )? Can you use labels with the "agent" directive, or would you use the "agent " directive?

[@ChandrashekarGaajula]

Very helpful !!! Thanks for the specific instructions.

[@arielfranco8251]

Amaizing explanations on the videos.

[@jagadish86]

Great video, similar to how you created new node, how do I create new node under configure clouds under manage nodes section... We do it manually now but wanted to check if their is any rest API which can help to create nodes under configure cloud option under manage nodes in jenkins

[@ythalorossy]

Amazing explanation. Thank you very much.

[@musicinsession]

This guy is just the best!!!

[@KayeYoze]

Great job! I always enjoy and learn from your videos. Could you do a video on setting up a Windows Jenkins agent as a service, please? Thanks!

[@Ravisankar23]

Hi Darin, Thanks for the video. I have created Jenkins master in K8 Cluster and agents are Ec2 instances configured through EC2 plugin. I found some interesting issues, I could able to read details from secret files which are created under the workspace folder from an agent through the Jenkin pipeline and these files can access only through the root user. I understood that the jobs are running with the root user. How can I restrict my job to not read files from the fodders. In master node the Jenkins user is running with Jenkins:jenkins.

[@adityajha6196]

Can you please help with AWS ec2 as an agent

[@lamine7018]

Great! Question please. We have to install and setup another Linux server first before create a agent ?

[@ManuelJordan317]

Huge thanks for this video - +7 due the expanded explanation for many fields configurations

[@vishnusoman5904]

"DNS set up to identify agent1" is not clear. Can you please elaborate. I tried the command at 17:21 "ssh-keyscan -H agent1 >> /var/lib/jenkins/.ssh/known_hosts" but it throws Temporary failure in name resolution

[@joshua_hc_cr]

Hey, did you resolve this error?

[@dybnguyen]

Is there a video for restoring the jenkins’ data from the backup data?

[@tanvski5984]

awesome content, straightforward into what matters, thx

[@GumShoeNoir]

Hi Darin, thanks for the informative video. Are there any _official_, or well trusted community / contributors, ansible-playbook(s) to create agents? Or a list of tools and / or packages that should be present? I have Proxmox with VM and LXC templates that I can easily spin up a new Debian 11 for a new permanent agent node. With a list of tools, I can create a playbook, if one does not exist.

[@mj2068]

very very informative, thanks

[@sureshbabukasthuri5953]

Please create a video on multi configuration job

[@Fiermax]

Hi there, one question. My master use OS Windows (Windows Server 2019 Datacenter). To add a new node should I use the same OS ?

[@alioshneira2049]

Thanks a lot, I'll do it

[@criscalo]

Very nice video! Do you have a similar tutorial for launching an agent by connecting it to the master?

[@tloy1966]

What if use shared libs? Will shared libs fetch in master ?

[@juanpabloamorochod.752]

You have done it yez again Darin! Great video, thanks!

[@ksubrahmanyam7747]

[@TheTran-tf5ri]

Many thanks! Great job!

[@PrathamGupta2408]

Hi @CloudBeedDevs is not available in twitter, however I have a query, if anyone can help me with that. I need to connect an agent which lies in a completely different network, so I plan to use a bastian for that. The problem is that the security team doesn't want to expose anything on the hardware/OS level, and what I have access to is only the jenkins instance as an admin. I'm struggling to find a solution to connect to an agent via Bastian. Is there a way forward? (like IP address forwarding, or DNS rerouting or anything like that), pls help me.
