March 13, 2019 at 17:39Jenkins for Android build using docker
- From the sandbox
- Tutorial
Hello!
I work as an android developer, and not so long ago we ran into some routine tasks on our project that we would like to automate. For example, we have 5 different flavors, for each of which we need to upload our build to fabric, sometimes for different carts several times a day. Yes, this task can also be done using gradle task, but I would like not to start this process on the developer's machine, but to do it somehow centrally. Or for example, automatically upload the build in google play to beta. Well, I just wanted to pick the CI system. What came of this, and how we set it up, why is there Docker, later in the article.
In my understanding, the whole task was divided into approximately two stages:
In this article, I want to touch on the first point, and if it will be interesting to anyone, then in the next article I will describe the process of setting up assembly tasks in Jenkins itself.
Habré already has a wonderful article on this topic, but she’s already a couple of years, and some things in it are slightly outdated (for example sdkmanager), although she helped me a lot to figure out what and how to do at the initial stages.
If you look at the official documentation for installing Jenkins, we will see three different ways to do this: launch a ready-made docker image, download and run a war file, and also just install jenkins in the system in the old fashion (for example
To begin with, if someone else is not registered there, I suggest registering (here at the time of writing the article there was a referral link, but after reading the rules I threw it out). After registration, you can google one or another promotional code on the Internet, and get about 10 bucks to start.
After we need to get a new droplet. Select the item Droplets, and then Create Droplet .
The host system is Ubuntu 18.04. You could choose an image with Docker already installed and configured, but we will do everything on our own. Since the assembly of android builds is still resource-intensive, we need to choose a configuration for at least 20 bucks so that the builds are collected normally and relatively quickly.
We’ll choose a closer location (for example, in Germany). Then there are two options for how we will connect to our virtual server. We can add an ssh key or do without it. If in this place we do not indicate which key to use, then the password for the root user will be sent to our mail.
Here we can change the server name, and complete the creation by clicking the Create button .
Now we go into the created droplet, and copy the ip address for ourselves, for further connection and configuration.
We need an ssh client. If you work from under a poppy, then you can use the standard terminal, if from under Windows we can use putty to work or use the Linux subsystem(Windows 10 only). I personally use the latter option, and it completely suits me.
Connect to our server using the following command
The console will offer you to save the key, we agree with this. After connecting, we will create a new user for ourselves, add it to superusers (and give him the opportunity to use sudo without a password), copy him the key for access via ssh and say that he is the owner of these files (otherwise it will not work). The username is changed to any convenient for you.
Disconnect from root with the command
And we will reconnect already with the help of the created new user
After we update the system, and reboot our server (if during the update process the system will ask you something, it is enough to always choose the default values in this case).
Basic setup is complete. From the point of view of the combat system, it is not very secure, but within the framework of this article it is completely suitable.
To install Docker in our system, we will use the official documentation . Since we have a newly installed system, we will skip this point, and if you have a system on which something has been running for a long time, on the recommendation of the guys from Docker, delete possible old versions
Do not forget to first connect back via ssh to our server. The installation of Docker itself is described in great detail in the documentation, I will give general commands to make it easier for you. What they do can be read there. First add the repository.
And then install Docker itself:
So that in the future we could call docker commands without the sudo prefix, execute the following command (which is also carefully described in the instructions ).
After that, you need to re-login (using the exit command and reconnecting to the server) in order for this to work.
Docker itself is installed, which we can check with the command
She downloads the test image, runs it in the container. The container, after starting, prints an informational message and exits.
Congratulations, we’ve finished the stage of preparing the server for work!
We will create the Docker image by writing our own Dockerfile. Examples of how to do this correctly on the Internet a wagon and a small cart, I will show my ready-made version, and I will try to comment on it as much as possible. There is also an instruction manual from docker itself with examples on the correct and canonical spelling of dockerfile.
Create and open your Dockerfile for editing
In it, for example, we’ll put the contents of my Dockerfile
A few clarifications:
After writing Dockerfile, we need to turn it into a ready-made image for Docker, on the basis of which containers will be created. This is done simply by a team
where the parameter
Yes, of course, we can use our ready-made image to launch the container, but if we need to do this on more than several devices, creating a Dockerfile each time and building a finished image from it will not be very convenient. And if we also update the contents of our Dockerfile, then rolling out the changes across all the nodes will not be convenient at all. For these purposes, there is a public repository of Docker Hub images . It allows you to not collect an image every time, on each node, but simply download it to yourself from the public repository, and use it equally on all machines. For example, the image that served as an example for this article is available in the repository named osipovaleks / docker-jenkins-android , and later in the article we will work with it.
This article does not imply a detailed study of the Docker Hub, we will not understand how to upload our images there (although this is not very difficult) and what can be done with them there, we will not understand that there may still be your own personal public or private repositories, In this all can be sorted out independently if necessary.
There are two ways to start a container.
Which startup option to use? Here you can choose for yourself, it is believed that Docker Compose is rather a tool for launching several containers at once, which are tied to each other, and if you need to run only one container, then you can use just a command
Now after these sub-steps for starting and configuring the server, as well as starting the container with Jenkins, we can proceed to its initial configuration
Take the ip address of our server, add the port 8080 indicated by us to it and follow this link in the browser.
If before that everything was configured and started correctly, then here we will see the following picture.
For the first setup, we need to enter the password that the system generated during installation. To do this, we just need to look at the contents of the file
where the parameter is the
the following appears in the console
User ALexhha suggested a simpler option to read this password, without connecting to the container itself. The fact is that at the time of launching Jenkins itself, this password is shown in the logs. It turns out that all we need is to read the container logs. In our case, this is done with the following command:
where is the
***************************************************** ***********
This option is a bit simpler and faster.
Copy it, paste it into the Administrator password field in the web interface and click Continue . On the next screen, select Install suggested plugins and install a set of default plugins.
After installing the plugins, create a user for ourselves and click on Save and Finish We
agree with the Instance Configuration section, where we are prompted to fill in the URL on which Jenkins will work (in our case, leave everything as it is)
And on the next screen click on the cherished Start using Jenkins
So, we installed and launched Jenkins!
It is already quite possible to work with it, but in order to collect our Android builds, you will need to configure a few more points. The localization of Jenkins is related to the selected language of your browser, and of course the translation into Russian is not completely finished, and we get a hellish mixture of Russian and English. If you succeeded in exactly the same way, and it infuriates you, then you can use the special plug-in and set the default interface language. Well, or switch your browser to the English interface.
Let's go to the Jenkins settings and select the item System Configuration.
Check the box for Environment variables and enter the name ANDROID_HOME in the field and specify / var / lib / android-sdk / in the field .(this is exactly the data we indicated in the Dockerfile as the home directory for storing the Android SDK).
Click on the Save button , exit this settings section and go to the section called Global Tools Configuration .
Set up the JDK partition (where the JAVA_HOME variable was also populated by us in the Dockerfile, and we can use its value / usr / lib / jvm / java-8-openjdk-amd64 / here ).
Also here we still need to fill out the Gradle section. We select and install the version of Gradle that is used in those projects that you will build using this CI system. You can have several versions. You can also not start the Gradle variable at all if you have gradlew in the repository, for example, and you can build it using it.
With this we can end our first stage. The Jenkins system is fully operational and we can move on to customizing the build tasks themselves. Please note that the system was customized to our needs and may not provide what you need - for example, there are no android emulators for testing and NDK.
If this article interests anyone, then I will continue in the second part with an example of one or two hassles, I will describe the integration of Jenkins and Bitbucket (it is he, not Github, because it’s easier with free private repositories and articles on the Internet about it’s smaller, but perhaps more fun), I’ll tell you how to make friends with the ssh key of our container with the repository, about email notifications, as well as several other chips. In general, about everything that we have configured.
I ask you not to kick much, this is my first article on Habr. Good to all!

In my understanding, the whole task was divided into approximately two stages:
- Install and configure Jenkins itself with the Android SDK
- Set up tasks already inside Jenkins
In this article, I want to touch on the first point, and if it will be interesting to anyone, then in the next article I will describe the process of setting up assembly tasks in Jenkins itself.
So, the first point is the installation and configuration of the Jenkins system
Habré already has a wonderful article on this topic, but she’s already a couple of years, and some things in it are slightly outdated (for example sdkmanager), although she helped me a lot to figure out what and how to do at the initial stages.
If you look at the official documentation for installing Jenkins, we will see three different ways to do this: launch a ready-made docker image, download and run a war file, and also just install jenkins in the system in the old fashion (for example
apt-get install jenkinsubuntu as an example). The first option is the most correct, because it does not carry any unnecessary settings and dependencies to our host system, and at any time even if something goes wrong, it is easy and simple to delete everything and start again. But the standard docker image for jenkins contains some of the data that we do not need (for example, the blueocean plugin) and do not contain what we will definitely need (for example, android sdk). It was decided to create our own docker image that inside it will download and run the war file, download and install android sdk, as well as configure all other settings that we need. In order to start it later, we need a host system with docker installed. I suggest here not to reinvent the wheel and use DigitalOcean.Create and configure a virtual machine
To begin with, if someone else is not registered there, I suggest registering (here at the time of writing the article there was a referral link, but after reading the rules I threw it out). After registration, you can google one or another promotional code on the Internet, and get about 10 bucks to start.

useradd -m -s /bin/bash username \
&& echo 'username ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL' >> /etc/sudoers \
&& mkdir /home/username/.ssh \
&& cp /root/.ssh/authorized_keys /home/username/.ssh/authorized_keys \
&& chown username:username -R /home/username/.ssh

exitAnd we will reconnect already with the help of the created new user
ssh username@YOUR_IP_ADDRESSAfter we update the system, and reboot our server (if during the update process the system will ask you something, it is enough to always choose the default values in this case).
sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade -y && sudo apt autoremove -y && sudo rebootBasic setup is complete. From the point of view of the combat system, it is not very secure, but within the framework of this article it is completely suitable.
Install Docker.
To install Docker in our system, we will use the official documentation . Since we have a newly installed system, we will skip this point, and if you have a system on which something has been running for a long time, on the recommendation of the guys from Docker, delete possible old versions

&& curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add - \
&& sudo apt-key fingerprint 0EBFCD88 \
&& sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) stable"And then install Docker itself:
sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.ioSo that in the future we could call docker commands without the sudo prefix, execute the following command (which is also carefully described in the instructions ).
sudo usermod -aG docker usernameAfter that, you need to re-login (using the exit command and reconnecting to the server) in order for this to work.
Docker itself is installed, which we can check with the command
docker run hello-worldShe downloads the test image, runs it in the container. The container, after starting, prints an informational message and exits.
Congratulations, we’ve finished the stage of preparing the server for work!

A few clarifications:
- In the beginning, there was a desire to use a lighter alpine instead of ubuntu, but it does not have ia32-libs support , which is required for building projects using the Android SDK.
- We install openjdk-8-jdk, not the more lightweight openjdk-8-jdk-headless, because some Jenkins functions need a complete system (for example, displaying unit test results).
- It is necessary to install locales, due to the fact that on some projects, without them, the gradle assembly crashes without clear errors and logs, and I spent several days to get to the bottom of this reason (on regular ubuntu which is not in docker, all locales are filled by default) .
- We need to immediately accept all the licenses for the Android SDK, so that during the build process Jenkins can independently install the components it needs (for example, the SDKs it needs for different versions of api). If necessary, in the future inside the docker container it will be possible to manage the SDK using sdkmanager, for example,
sdkmanager --listit allows you to view all available and all installed components, andsdkmanager --install "platforms;android-26"install the SDK for version 26 of the api. - In general, it was possible not to start the user jenkins, and stay with the root user, but somehow it’s not quite right, you could also not give him superuser rights, but this was done in terms of convenience, if something needs to be installed at the setup and debug stage.
- The basic size of the image turned out to be rather big (almost 800 mb), but overall I came to the conclusion that for me this is not very critical, and it’s easier for me to download it in this form than to spend time searching and removing packages that I don’t need.
After writing Dockerfile, we need to turn it into a ready-made image for Docker, on the basis of which containers will be created. This is done simply by a team
docker build -t jenkins-imagewhere the parameter
-t jenkins-imageis responsible for the name of your image, and the dot at the end of the command indicates that the Dockerfile for assembly needs to be searched inside this directory. The assembly process itself takes some time, and after the assembly there should be something like this in the console.Successfully built 9fd8f5545c27Which tells us that our image has been successfully assembled, and we can proceed to the next step, namely the launch of our container
Successfully tagged jenkins-image: latest
Docker Hub and ready-made images
Yes, of course, we can use our ready-made image to launch the container, but if we need to do this on more than several devices, creating a Dockerfile each time and building a finished image from it will not be very convenient. And if we also update the contents of our Dockerfile, then rolling out the changes across all the nodes will not be convenient at all. For these purposes, there is a public repository of Docker Hub images . It allows you to not collect an image every time, on each node, but simply download it to yourself from the public repository, and use it equally on all machines. For example, the image that served as an example for this article is available in the repository named osipovaleks / docker-jenkins-android , and later in the article we will work with it.
This article does not imply a detailed study of the Docker Hub, we will not understand how to upload our images there (although this is not very difficult) and what can be done with them there, we will not understand that there may still be your own personal public or private repositories, In this all can be sorted out independently if necessary.
Container launch
There are two ways to start a container.
- The first way, just with a command
docker run, allows you to do this quickly and easily in the followingdocker run --name jenkins -d -it -v jenkins-data:/var/lib/jenkins -v jenkins-home:/home/jenkins -p 8080:8080 --restart unless-stopped osipovaleks/docker-jenkins-android
where the commandrunhas the following parameters--name jenkins- name of the future container-d- launch of the container in the background-it- flags for working with STDIN and tty-v jenkins-data:/var/lib/jenkinsand-v jenkins-home:/home/jenkins- create (if not created) and map to the internal sections of the container special volume files that will allow us to save our customized Jenkins even after reconstituting the container-p 8080:8080- map the host port to the container port, so that we have access to the web interface (yes this is the port that we specified in the Dockerfile)--restart unless-stopped- the option determines the autorun policy of the container after rebooting the host (in this case, autostart if the container was not manually turned off)osipovaleks/docker-jenkins-android- image for deployment.
At the exit to the Docker console, we should get the id of the created container, and also show information about how the image is loaded into the system (of course, if it is not already loaded), something likeUnable to find image 'osipovaleks/docker-jenkins-android:latest' locally

To do this, we need to install it:sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y docker-compose
Next, create a directory for the project (this is important if you care what the automatically created volumes for the container will be called) and go to itmkdir jenkinsProject && cd jenkinsProject
and inside we create the compose file itself and go into edit modetouch docker-compose.yml && nano docker-compose.yml
and put the following contents in itversion: '3' services: jenkins: container_name: jenkins image: osipovaleks/docker-jenkins-android ports: - "8080:8080" restart: unless-stopped volumes: - "jenkins-data:/var/lib/jenkins" - "jenkins-home:/home/jenkins" volumes: jenkins-data: jenkins-home:
In it, perhaps, only the first line raises questions (version: '3') which indicates the version of the compose file 's capabilities, as well as a section with a blockvolumesthat lists those that are used in this container.
Run your container with the command:docker-compose up -d
where the flag-dalso indicates that the creation and launch of the container will be done in the background. As a result, Docker should show something like the following:Creating volume "jenkinsproject_jenkins-data" with default driver

agree with the Instance Configuration section, where we are prompted to fill in the URL on which Jenkins will work (in our case, leave everything as it is)
And on the next screen click on the cherished Start using Jenkins
So, we installed and launched Jenkins!
It is already quite possible to work with it, but in order to collect our Android builds, you will need to configure a few more points. The localization of Jenkins is related to the selected language of your browser, and of course the translation into Russian is not completely finished, and we get a hellish mixture of Russian and English. If you succeeded in exactly the same way, and it infuriates you, then you can use the special plug-in and set the default interface language. Well, or switch your browser to the English interface.
Let's go to the Jenkins settings and select the item System Configuration.
Check the box for Environment variables and enter the name ANDROID_HOME in the field and specify / var / lib / android-sdk / in the field .(this is exactly the data we indicated in the Dockerfile as the home directory for storing the Android SDK).
Click on the Save button , exit this settings section and go to the section called Global Tools Configuration .
Set up the JDK partition (where the JAVA_HOME variable was also populated by us in the Dockerfile, and we can use its value / usr / lib / jvm / java-8-openjdk-amd64 / here ).
Also here we still need to fill out the Gradle section. We select and install the version of Gradle that is used in those projects that you will build using this CI system. You can have several versions. You can also not start the Gradle variable at all if you have gradlew in the repository, for example, and you can build it using it.
With this we can end our first stage. The Jenkins system is fully operational and we can move on to customizing the build tasks themselves. Please note that the system was customized to our needs and may not provide what you need - for example, there are no android emulators for testing and NDK.
If this article interests anyone, then I will continue in the second part with an example of one or two hassles, I will describe the integration of Jenkins and Bitbucket (it is he, not Github, because it’s easier with free private repositories and articles on the Internet about it’s smaller, but perhaps more fun), I’ll tell you how to make friends with the ssh key of our container with the repository, about email notifications, as well as several other chips. In general, about everything that we have configured.
I ask you not to kick much, this is my first article on Habr. Good to all!
