During my Google Summer of Code Project, I have created the brand new Folder Auth Plugin for easily managing permissions to projects organized in folders from the Folders plugin. This new plugin is designed for fast permission checks with easy-to-manage roles. The 1.0 version of the plugin has just been released and can be downloaded from your Jenkins' Update center. This plugin was inspired by the Role Strategy Plugin and brings...

At end of the first GSoC phase, I announced the first alpha release of the CLI tool and library that will help centralize plugin management and make plugin tooling easier. Phase 2 has mainly been focused on improving upon the initial CLI and library written in Coding Phase 1. In particular, we’ve been focusing on getting the tool ready to incorporate into the Jenkins Docker Image to replace the install-plugins.sh bash...

I am Long Nguyen from FPT University, Vietnam. My project for Google Summer of Code 2019 is Remoting over Apache Kafka with Kubernetes features. This is the first time I have contributed for Jenkins and I am very excited to announce the features that have been done in Phase 1. Project Introduction Current version of Remoting over Apache Kafka plugin requires users to manually configure the...

The Working Hour Plugin provides an interface to set up a schedule of allowable build days and times. Jobs that run outside of configured working hours are held until the next allowable build time. For the first code phase at Google Summer of Code, I’ve been working on Working Hours Project, which needed improvements on usability. Rather than classical Jelly pages, React seems to be...

"Everybody is re-inventing the wheel, partially implementing the "details" of plugin management (signed metadata, artifacts checksums, plugins detached from core,…​). It becomes obvious Jenkins should provide adequate tooling for plugin installation outside a live Jenkins instance." JENKINS-53767 My Google Summer of Code project tries to solve this problem by creating a library that will unify plugin management logic across the different implementations of Jenkins and providing a CLI tool that...

This is one of the Jenkins project in GSoC 2019. We are working on adding support for Multi-branch Pipeline Jobs and Folder Organisation in GitLab. The plan is to create the following plugins: GitLab API Plugin - Wraps GitLab Java APIs. GitLab Branch Source Plugin - Contains two packages: io.jenkins.plugins.gitlabserverconfig - Manages server configuration and web hooks management. Ideally should reside inside another plugin with name GitLab Plugin. In future, this...

I have been working on improving the performance of the Role Strategy Plugin as a part of my Google Summer of Code project. Since there was no existing way to measure performance and do benchmarks on Jenkins Plugins, my work for the first phase of the project was to create a framework for running benchmarks in Jenkins plugins with a Jenkins instance available. To make our job...

On behalf of the Jenkins GSoC org team, I am happy to announce that the Jenkins project has been accepted to Google Summer of Code 2019. This year we invite students and mentors to join the Jenkins community and work together on enhancing the Jenkins ecosystem. Just to provide some numbers, this is the biggest GSoC ever, 206 organizations will participate in GSoC this year. And it will be hopefully...

Google Summer of Code is as program where students are paid a stipend by Google to work on a free open source project like Jenkins, at full-time for four months (May to August). Mentors get actively involved with students starting at the end of February when students start to apply (see the timeline). We are looking for mentors and project ideas to participate in the 15th edition of the...
