Jenkinsator is a script that simplifies some basic ops around the Jenkins master
Just download jenkinsator.py file and follow the instructions.
I.e. replace all occurances of SOURCE by DEST for the list of jobs provided in file jobs.txt:
python jenkinsator.py JENKINS_URL --login=LOGIN --password=PASSWORD job --replace "#SOURCE#DEST" --list-from-file=jobs.txt
For more details check:
python jenkinsator.py --help
The tool supports two ways: secure and in-secure (as it was shown in example above). The secure way is a little bit more complex and it uses the magic of .netrc in case of Linux/Mac or _netrc on Windows. So, all you need is to create a ~/.netrc file this follow content:
default
login <your_login>
password <your_password>
or
machine <jenkins_host_name>
login <your_login>
password <your_password>
If you just created the .netrc file, you must change the permission to 600 using the follow command:
chmod 600 ~/.netrc
Done! Now jenkinsator will be able to get the credentials from this file.
Work in Progress! So far jenkinsator was tested with python3.4+ only.
