Can I configure my VM as a slave in Jenkins? My host machine will be master and my VM machine will be the slave machine. Is this possible?

You can certainly use a virtual machine as a Jenkins slave.

All you need to do is set up a VM (OS based on your requirement) to automatically start a service that runs a script to start Jenkins slave.

So if your host is a windows machine which is the Jenkins master, the VM could be used as a slave machine.

The first step is the VirtualBox cloud configuration:

  1. Configure the VirtualBox server, that allows to remotely manage VMs, and start it.

    VBoxManage setproperty websrvauthlibrary null
    vboxwebsrv

  2. Manage Jenkins -> Configure System -> Cloud -> Add a new cloud -> VirtualBox
  3. Set Name, URL, Username and Password
  4. Test connection

    If it doesn't work, then you can try to disable authentication library by executing following command on VirtualBox host:
    VBoxManage setproperty websrvauthlibrary null

    If you got this error:

    Runtime modeler error: Wrapper class org.virtualbox_3_1.IWebsessionManagerLogon is not found. Have you run APT to generate them?

    Then you should upgrade Java (probably it is a bug in jax-ws). Also note that plugin was tested on Java 1.6.0_19.

VirtualBox slave

Now you can setup your nodes in Jenkins and use them to build your projects:

  1. Add Manage Jenkins -> Manage Nodes -> New Node
  2. Set Node name for VirtualBox Slave
  3. Select VirtualBox Host, Virtual Machine Name and Virtual Machine Type
Hope this will help
Best Regards
