问题
Is there any way I can integrate Jenkins with Chef Server so that I can create jobs to be executed? I don't want to have to go to the Chef Workstation.
Do I need to install jenkins on a separate server or the chef workstation?
Can I execute all the recipes directly from the Jenkins console?
回答1:
Yes. You can create jobs in jenkins and can be integrated with chef. Knife search would be the best option. you can run chef-client to run recipes through jenkins to any machine.

Look into this chef-plugin. It might help. I have not tried it.
I hope this helps.

We managed to have this working except automatic deployment (I am doing some research if there is such thing yet).
What I recommend is having Jenkins slave connecting to your master (i.e. using Swarm plugin). This slave could be machine (i.e. Ubuntu server edition) with QEMU/KVM virtualization, Ruby, Vagrant (or other tool), ChefClien, TestKitchen, RSpecs (chefspecs) and Foodcritic. There is Chef Development Kit that has many of this.
What build do:
- Checkout your chef repository
- Run `kitchen test all' (or only subset of your suites)
- If status is 0 then execute
rspec --format doc(from yours cookbook directory - If status is 0 then execute
foodcritic -f - If status is 0 then you can upload your cookbook
knife upload cookbooks/my_cookbook
What we haven't figure out yet is:
- Update (increase) version of cookbook (if doing release)
- Still quite error prone approach using status and shell scripts in jenkins build
More resources:
- Foodcritic CI
