Migration from v0.1.x

Major Changes

Adding the seed job agent

From version v0.2.0 seed jobs are not run by master executors, but by a dedicated agent deployed as a Kubernetes Pod.

We’ve had disabled master executors for security reasons.

Replacing configuration jobs with Groovy scripts

In v0.1.x Jenkins Operator user configuration application was implemented using Jenkins jobs and this mechanism was replaced since v0.2.0 with Groovy scripts implementing the same functionality.

As a result, the Jenkins configuration jobs (“Configure Seed Jobs”, “jenkins-operator-base-configuration”, “jenkins-operator-user-configuration”) are no longer visible in Jenkins UI.

In v0.1.x you can see if any of the configuration jobs failed or succeeded in the Jenkins UI (job build logs). Instead, you can make sure the operator is running correctly by inspecting its logs, e.g.:

$ kubectl -n logs deployment/jenkins-operator

Making User Configuration sources configurable

In v0.1.x Jenkins Operator user configuration was stored in a ConfigMap and a Secret named jenkins-operator-user-configuration-<cr_name>, and its name was hardcoded in the operator.

Since v0.2.0 the user configuration can be stored in a multiple ConfigMap and Secret manifests and has to be explicitly pointed to with spec.configurationAsCode.configurations and spec.configurationAsCode.secret for the Configuration as Code plugin, and spec.groovyScripts.configurations and spec.groovyScripts.secret for the more advanced groovy scripts.

Migration

If you want to use v0.1.x operator configuration with v0.2.x you have to modify your Jenkins Custom Resource(s) and add explicit references to the existing ConfigMap and Secret, e.g.:

apiVersion: jenkins.io/v1alpha2
kind: Jenkins
metadata:
  name: <cr_name>
spec:
  ...
  configurationAsCode:
    configurations:
    - name: jenkins-operator-user-configuration-<cr_name>
    secret:
      name: jenkins-operator-user-configuration-<cr_name>
  groovyScripts:
    configurations:
    - name: jenkins-operator-user-configuration-<cr_name>
    secret:
      name: jenkins-operator-user-configuration-<cr_name>
  ...
