Vagrant for Jenkins on Ubuntu

A simple Vagrantfile you can use to set up Jenkins and start using it.

examples/vagrant-jenkins-ubuntu/Vagrantfile

# vi: set ft=ruby :
Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
  config.vm.box = "ubuntu/cosmic64"
  config.vm.network "forwarded_port", guest: 8080, host: 8080, host_ip: "127.0.0.1"
  config.vm.provision "shell", inline: <<-SHELL
    apt-get update
    apt-get upgrade -y

    wget -q -O - https://pkg.jenkins.io/debian/jenkins.io.key | sudo apt-key add -
    sh -c 'echo deb http://pkg.jenkins.io/debian-stable binary/ > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jenkins.list'
    apt-get update
    apt-get install -y openjdk-8-jre
    apt-get install -y jenkins
  SHELL
end

Create an empty directory.
Copy the above file to it as Vagrantfile.
Install Vagrant and VirtualBox if you don't have them yet.
cd to the directory and run vagrant up. It will take a while to download the image and then to install Jenkins in the image.
Then on your computer browse to http://localhost:8080/ It will want to get a secret code.
On the command line type int vagrant ssh this will ssh into the VirtualBox running Jenkins
type sudo cat /var/lib/jenkins/secrets/initialAdminPassword to get the secret, copy that secret to the browser
Install the defaults, create a user for yourself.
At this point I got a blank page (seems to be some bug) so I switched back to the terminal and restarted the machine by typiing in sudo reboot.
Once the machine started again you can reload the page in the browser and it will (most likely) show you the login page of Jenkins.
