Jenkins setup - Install Java, Jenkins, Maven, Tomcat on Ubuntu EC2 - How to install Java, Jenkins, Maven, Tomcat on Ubuntu EC2

Please follow steps to install Java, Jenkins, Maven, Tomcat on Ubuntu EC2. Jenkins is a java based application, so you need to install Java first. 

Java Setup on Ubuntu

sudo apt-get update

Install Java Open JDK 8 package

sudo apt-get install default-jdk -y

Once install java, enter the below command

OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.191-b12, mixed mode)

Now lets do Jenkins installation

Jenkins Setup

Add Repository key to the system

wget -q -O - https://pkg.jenkins.io/debian/jenkins-ci.org.key | sudo apt-key add -

Append debian package repo address to the system

echo deb http://pkg.jenkins.io/debian-stable binary/ | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jenkins.list

sudo apt-get update

Install Jenkins

sudo apt-get install jenkins -y

The above screenshot should confirm that Jenkins is successfully installed.

Access Jenkins in web browser

Now Go to AWS console.
  Click on EC2, click on running instances link. Select the checkbox of EC2 you are installing Java and Jenkins.

  Click on Action.

  Copy the value from step 4 that says --> Connect to your instance using its Public DNS: 

Now go to browser. enter public dns name or public IP address with port no 8080.This is how to select public DNS name:

http://EC2_public_dns_name:8080

Unlock Jenkins
You may get screen, enter the below command in Git bash( Ubuntu console)

Get the password from the below file

Setup SSH Keys in BitBucket & Setup Java Web App in BitBucket

We will see how to setup Java Web App using Maven in BitBucket and also how to setup SSH keys in Bitbucket.

Pre-requisites:

If you don't have an bitbucket account, You need to create an account in bitbucket.org.

Implementation steps:

3. Click on create repository.

4. now click on your avatar (left bottom of the screen, BitBucket settings-> security--> ssh keys

5. now go to your laptop, open git bash for windows laptop or iTerm (for iMac laptop) and connect to Jenkins EC2 instance using Git bash. How to connect, refer this url - http://www.cidevops.com/2018/02/how-to-connect-to-ec2-instance-from.html

6. Now type  ssh-keygen (and then simply enter four times, do not give any password)

7. copy the content of public key executing below command in Gitbash.

sudo cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

9. Now click on repo you created in step # 1. Click on Clone and copy the SSH url. Do not select HTTPS Url. The url will be from your repo you created under Clone link. 

10. go back to Gitbash  windows connected to Jenkins EC2, execute the below command. Paste the SSH url you copied above.

   11. Now after cloning, type ls -al command

12. It will show a folder with repo name..

13. navigate to repo folder by below command:

    cd mybitbucketrepo

14. use below command to create Java project using Maven. Maven is the build for creating and building java projects.

mvn archetype:generate -DgroupId=com.mkyong -DartifactId=MyWebApp -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-webapp -DinteractiveMode=false

15. type ls -al to see the new folder called MyWebApp

   16. type  below command to see the newly created project

git status

17. git add  *

18. Perform below command to commit the changes to local repository first.
