Re: Standard way to configure Linux Slave

2018-12-05 Thread Randall Becker 
Launching agents via SSH is a reasonable approach also for normalizing 
configuration of agents across multiple platforms.

My company's build environment uses multiple Linux flavours, a Windows 
client (configured using OpenSSH), and a NonStop - all as agents, with a 
Controller running under Ubuntu. Each host has a specific jenkins user its 
own unique key pair (with passphrases) to cut down on accidental 
configuration errors.

Hope this helps.

Re: Standard way to configure Linux Slave

2018-12-05 Thread Jeff Thompson 
For situations where it is reasonable, I agree with Slide’s recommendation: #1 
Launch agents via ssh

It’s a good implementation, fairly straightforward,  and I think it leads to 
better reliability and fewer broken connections. I don’t have any data on that, 
though, so I’d also love to hear from others with experience using the 
different mechanisms.

Re: Standard way to configure Linux Slave

FYI, even though the term is used in some places in the docs and code
(because it's hard to change everything), "agent" is the requested term
instead of "slave". That being said, I prefer the "Launch agents via ssh",
I've never had a problem with reconnection after a reboot of the agent
computer.
