Jenkins or: How I learned to stop worrying and love automation
summary
Shows a concrete, repeatable setup for secure Jenkins for Drupal and PHP: Nginx + Let's Encrypt fronting Jenkins, Jenkins jobs and config stored in code and deployed with Ansible + Docker, and a live demo that deploys a multi‑site code update, runs drush cron, dumps databases and executes Behat tests in containers — all succeeding in the demo. Covers CI for Jenkins (CI for your CI), nightly Jenkins home backups (snapshot then push to Jenkins home to S3), RAM sizing advice, plugin choices and credential hardening.
