Jenkins with puppet

Question

I am experimenting with puppet and while exploring the docs i found that i had to use the rtyler/jenkins Puppet module to deploy my Jenkins instance using puppet.  But I barely have an idea of  how to use Puppet to configure the Jenkins plugins once I've installed them. Can somebody please suggest me a few docs or blogs that i could refer to?

Answer 1

• For anyone interested in how to pull this off, I'm using the Jenkins SCM plugin available here: https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/SCM+Sync+configuration+plugin

• This requires manually setting up Jenkins and having the plugin sync all the configuration settings to a repository. 

• All future Jenkins instances provisioned by Puppet will need to have all the necessary plugins installed, but the SCM plugin will automatically download all the necessary settings. 

• However, do note that some of the plugins will require you to manually add includes into the SCM to begin tracking them: https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/SCM+Sync+Config+shared+additionnal+includes
