managing jenkins jobs?

Archives Ansible Project

Hi all

been googling to no avail - I want to manage Jenkins with
Ansible, and have the basics for the master here:

     https://github.com/rasputnik/ansible-jenkins

Next step is to configure some plugins and global config;
this seems like it'd be a pretty common use case but although
some plugins have a separate config file, the majority of them
add stanzas to the main config.xml.

I can't see much to help me with managing 'fragments' of XML rather
than lineinfile (shudder). Has anyone had any success with this approach?

You can start with https://galaxy.ansible.com/list#/roles/2451 - this is a role showing entire deployment and config so you can get the idea, but there are other roles from the same user that deal with individual things (like jobs, plugins, etc.).

I did come across that one on github - there are *tons* of teeny
little roles in there that all do 1 thing.

I'll dig around in there till I find one that looks close to what I
need. Thanks!
