How to Reboot RedHat Server 9 using Jenkins and Ansible Playbooks

 In order for you to automate the process of Reboot RedHat Servers with Jenkins and Ansible Playbooks.

You have to create a Jenkins pipeline for an application that involves the following steps: rebooting a Red Hat Server 9 using Ansible Playbooks, building, testing, scanning with SonarQube and Fortify, and storing the artifact in JFrog Artifactory. 

Below are the detailed steps along with the required Jenkinsfile, Ansible playbook, and information on the necessary credentials.

Prerequisites

1. Jenkins Setup:

   • Jenkins should be installed and configured.
   • Plugins: Ansible, SonarQube Scanner, Fortify, JFrog Artifactory.

2. Credentials:

   • Ansible: SSH Key for Red Hat Server.
   • SonarQube: API Token.
   • Fortify: API Token.
   • JFrog Artifactory: Username and API Key.

3. Tools:

   • Ansible installed and configured on Jenkins.
   • SonarQube and Fortify servers accessible from Jenkins.
   • JFrog Artifactory accessible from Jenkins.

Jenkins Pipeline Script (Jenkinsfile)

groovy
pipeline {
    agent any

    environment {
        ANSIBLE_PLAYBOOK = 'reboot-server.yml'
        ANSIBLE_INVENTORY = 'hosts'
        SONARQUBE_SERVER = 'sonarqube.example.com'
        SONARQUBE_TOKEN = credentials('sonarqube-token')
        FORTIFY_SERVER = 'fortify.example.com'
        FORTIFY_TOKEN = credentials('fortify-token')
        ARTIFACTORY_SERVER = 'artifactory.example.com'
        ARTIFACTORY_CREDENTIALS = credentials('artifactory-credentials')
    }

    stages {
        stage('Reboot Server') {
            steps {
                script {
                    ansiblePlaybook(
                        playbook: "${ANSIBLE_PLAYBOOK}",
                        inventory: "${ANSIBLE_INVENTORY}",
                        extras: "--become --extra-vars '
ansible_become_pass=${env.ANSIBLE_SSH_PASS}'"
                    )
                }
            }
        }
        stage('Build') {
            steps {
                // Replace with your build steps, e.g., Maven, Gradle
                echo 'Building the application...'
            }
        }
        stage('Test') {
            steps {
                // Replace with your testing steps
                echo 'Running tests...'
            }
        }
        stage('SonarQube Scan') {
            environment {
                SONARQUBE_URL = "${SONARQUBE_SERVER}"
            }
            steps {
                withSonarQubeEnv('SonarQube') {
                    sh 'sonar-scanner -Dsonar.projectKey=my_project 
-Dsonar.sources=. -Dsonar.host.url=${SONARQUBE_URL} 
-Dsonar.login=${SONARQUBE_TOKEN}'
                }
            }
        }
        stage('Fortify Scan') {
            steps {
                script {
                    // Assuming Fortify command-line tools are 
installed and configured
                    sh "sourceanalyzer -b my_project -scan -f 
my_project.fpr -url ${FORTIFY_SERVER} -token ${FORTIFY_TOKEN}"
                }
            }
        }
        stage('Artifact Storage') {
            steps {
                script {
                    // Replace with your artifact storage steps
                    sh "curl -u ${ARTIFACTORY_CREDENTIALS} -T 
./path/to/your/artifact.ext https://${ARTIFACTORY_SERVER}/
artifactory/path/to/repo/"
                }
            }
        }
    }

    post {
        always {
            cleanWs()
        }
    }
}

Ansible Playbook (reboot-server.yml)

yaml
---
- name: Reboot Red Hat Server
  hosts: all
  become: yes
  tasks:
    - name: Reboot the server
      ansible.builtin.reboot:
        reboot_timeout: 300

Inventory File (hosts)

css
[all]
redhat-server-1 ansible_host=your.server.ip ansible_user=your_ssh_user 
ansible_ssh_private_key_file=/path/to/ssh_key

Adding Credentials in Jenkins

1. Ansible SSH Key:

   • Go to Jenkins Dashboard > Credentials > System > Global credentials (unrestricted).
   • Add a new credential of type "SSH Username with private key".
   • Add your SSH key file for the Red Hat Server.

2. SonarQube Token:

   • Go to Jenkins Dashboard > Credentials > System > Global credentials (unrestricted).
   • Add a new credential of type "Secret text".
   • Enter your SonarQube API token.

3. Fortify Token:

   • Repeat the same steps as for the SonarQube Token, but use your Fortify API token.

4. JFrog Artifactory Credentials:

   • Add a new credential of type "Username with password".
   • Enter your Artifactory username and API key.

Summary

This Jenkins pipeline script is designed to:

1. Reboot a Red Hat Server 9 using Ansible.
2. Build the application (customise the build steps according to your project).
3. Run tests (customise the test steps according to your project).
4. Perform a SonarQube scan for code quality analysis.
5. Perform a Fortify scan for security analysis.
6. Upload the artifact to JFrog Artifactory.

Make sure to replace placeholder steps with your actual build and test commands, and ensure that your Jenkins environment is configured correctly with the necessary tools and credentials.
