Integrating Jenkins Multibranch Pipeline Using Webhooks and the multibranch-scan-webhook-trigger Plugin

Description

  • Jenkins Multibranch Pipeline – A branching build process where a separate pipeline is launched for each repository branch.
  • Webhook – A mechanism that allows sending notifications about changes in a Git repository directly to Jenkins.
  • multibranch-scan-webhook-trigger plugin – Adds the ability to trigger a rebuild of the Jenkins Multibranch Pipeline using webhooks.

Plugin Installation

  1. Open Jenkins in the web interface.
  2. Go to "Manage Jenkins".
  3. Navigate to "Manage Plugins".
  4. Select "Available plugins" and search for "multibranch-scan-webhook-trigger".
  5. Install the plugin by clicking "Install without restart".
  6. Enable the multibranch-scan-webhook-trigger plugin.

Project Configuration

  1. Create a new Jenkins Multibranch Pipeline project.
  2. In Jenkins, configure the connection to the required GitFlic repository:
  3. In the "Branch sources" menu, click "Add source", select "Git", and add the repository URL ending with ".git".

    If you don’t include "http(s)" in the URL, the GitFlic repository will be accessed via SSH.

  4. In the Jenkins project settings ("Scan Multibranch Pipeline Triggers"), select the "Scan by webhook" option.
  5. Generate a webhook token.
  6. Copy the URL provided by the plugin to use as the webhook.

    Example: http(s)://JENKINS_URL/multibranch-webhook-trigger/invoke?token=[Trigger token]

Git Repository Configuration

  1. Open your project repository.
  2. Go to "Settings" > "Webhooks".
  3. Add a new webhook using the URL copied from the Jenkins project settings.
  4. Select the events that should trigger the webhook.
  5. Save the changes.

Now, your Jenkins Multibranch Pipeline will automatically trigger on every repository change.
