We run Jenkins server as docker agent, then in Github action how will we do that? Bit confused
Akash
To run a Jenkins server as a Docker agent in GitHub Actions, you can use the following steps:
1. Create a Dockerfile that defines the Jenkins image. The Dockerfile should include the following steps:
* Install the Jenkins server.
* Install the plugins that you need.
* Configure the Jenkins server.
2. Build the Docker image.
3. Create a GitHub Actions workflow file. The workflow file should include the following steps:
* Create a Docker agent.
* Run the Jenkins job.
Here is an example of a Dockerfile that defines a Jenkins image:
```
FROM jenkins/jenkins:latest
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y git
RUN jenkins-plugin-cli install greenballs
```
Here is an example of a GitHub Actions workflow file that runs a Jenkins job:
```
name: Run Jenkins job
on:
push:
branches:
- main
jobs:
build:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: docker/setup-agent@v2
- name: Run Jenkins job
run: |
docker run -it --rm \
-v jenkins_home:/var/jenkins_home \
jenkins/jenkins:latest \
/bin/bash -c "jenkins -s"
```
This workflow file will create a Docker agent, run the Jenkins job, and then delete the Docker agent.
I hope this helps
Hi @Raghav, fantastic explanation. Is there any continuation tutorial available for this GitHub Actions?
Hi Prem, not for now, I created this for beginners to get started with GitHub Actions
@@RaghavPal But it was wonderful. It would be helpful if you continue so..
Yes, I will do more sessions on this. You can suggest the topics Prem
im add 2 test syntax on my package json like:
test-register : "npx cypress run register"
test-login : "npx cypress run login"
how to run both of that on git action yaml? im using && but failed on jobs
Akmal
To run multiple commands sequentially in a GitHub Actions workflow YAML, you can use the `run` attribute with a pipe (`|`) to chain the commands together. Let's create a workflow that executes both your `test-register` and `test-login` commands:
```yaml
name: Cypress Tests
on:
push:
branches:
- main # Adjust this to your branch name
jobs:
cypress_tests:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- name: Checkout code
uses: actions/checkout@v2
- name: Install dependencies
run: npm install # Replace with your package manager command
- name: Run Cypress tests
run: |
npx cypress run register
npx cypress run login
```
Here's what each section does:
1. Checkout code: Fetches your repository code.
2. Install dependencies: Installs the necessary dependencies (you can replace this with your actual package manager command).
3. Run Cypress tests: Executes both `npx cypress run register` and `npx cypress run login` sequentially.
Make sure to adjust the branch name in the `on` section to match your desired trigger. If you encounter any issues, double-check your package.json scripts and ensure that the Cypress commands are correctly configured.
Sir can you please come up with Github Actions real interview questions?

How to make project available online after deploying through github actions
Hi Rekha,
To make your project available online after deploying through Github Actions, you need to host your application on a web server or a cloud platform that supports your application's stack. Here are the general steps to do this:
Choose a hosting provider: There are many hosting providers available that support various application stacks. Some popular options are Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Microsoft Azure, Heroku, and Netlify. Choose a provider that supports your application's stack and fits your requirements.
Create an account and set up your project: Follow the provider's instructions to create an account and set up your project. This usually involves creating a new instance or server, configuring security settings, and connecting to your Github repository.
Deploy your application: Depending on the provider, there are different ways to deploy your application. Some providers support automatic deployment from Github, where your application is automatically deployed to the server after every commit. Others require manual deployment through a command-line interface or a web interface. Follow the provider's instructions to deploy your application.
Configure your DNS settings: Once your application is deployed, you need to configure your DNS settings to point to your server. This involves creating a DNS record that maps your domain name to your server's IP address. The specific steps depend on your domain registrar and hosting provider.
Test your application: After configuring your DNS settings, test your application to make sure it's available online. You can do this by visiting your domain name in a web browser.
Overall, the process of making your project available online after deploying through Github Actions involves deploying your application to a web server or a cloud platform and configuring your DNS settings to point to your server. The specific steps depend on the hosting provider you choose and your application's stack
i creeated the action created my workflow then commited action are not started
Sourabh
There are a few possible reasons why your GitHub Actions workflow may not be starting:
* The workflow may be misconfigured. For example, the workflow may be missing a required trigger or event.
* The workflow may be referring to a repository that does not exist.
* The workflow may be referring to a branch or tag that does not exist.
* The workflow may be referring to a file that does not exist.
* The workflow may be trying to access a resource that is not available.
To troubleshoot the issue, you can try the following:
* Check the workflow configuration for errors.
* Make sure that the workflow is referring to the correct repository, branch, tag, and file.
* Make sure that the workflow is not trying to access any resources that are not available.
* If you are still having problems, you can try asking for help on the GitHub Actions forum or Slack channel.
In the meantime, you can try manually triggering the workflow by clicking the "Run workflow" button on the GitHub Actions tab.
I hope this helps
