Setting up a scalable CI platform with jenkins, docker and rancher
summary
Sets up a Rancher cluster with two hosts, runs Jenkins master plus swarm agents, and provisions Nexus and Gerrit from versioned scripts so all config is in Git. Builds run inside Docker images described by Jenkinsfile-driven pipelines, a seed job auto-creates project jobs, artifacts and Docker images push to Nexus, and acceptance tests deploy stacks to Rancher, exercise a Spring REST app and report green. Demo succeeds and stacks are torn down; scale is by adding hosts via Rancher stacks and host labels.
