This tap contains a formula to install the Jenkins Slave on macOS.
brew tap iteratec/jenkins-slave
brew install jenkins-slave
You can start the slave manually for test via commandline:
jenkins-slave -jnlpUrl http://your-jenkins/computer/node/slave-agent.jnlp -secret 9...b
But this is not recomended for production setup and only for testing. For production setup you should install jenkins-slave as daemon. To do so you first need to configure he daemon:
jenkins-slave-configure --url http://your-jenkins/computer/node/slave-agent.jnlp --secret ******
and then install it:
sudo brew services start jenkins-slave
If you've cloned this repo and want to install your work in progress locally run the following command from inside this repository:
brew install --build-from-source ./jenkins-slave.rb
Good resource to stat is the Formula Cookbook.
Services on Mac OS are done by Launch Daemons (Daemons and Services Programming Guide from Apple).
To check if the service runs run this command:
sudo launchctl list | grep jenkins
Thisshould print:
2673 0 com.ribose.jenkins.slave
The first number is the PID of the running command and the second number is the status code. A status indicates an error. You cna inspect it wuth launchctl error <NUMBER>
