Currently I deploy my PHP project using Subversion checkout on the target machine. I use Hudson/Jenkins for testing and code analysis purposes, but can and should it be used for deployment? If so, how?

  • I think @arex1337 isn't asking for "how to install jenkins" but "how to / should i use jenkins to get my code to the production servers". Can you clarify ? :) – edorian Feb 06 '11 at 13:53

We use it for all the above where I work. I've briefly described the process here. You can Google "Hudson template" or "Jenkins template" for a boilerplate to doing so.

I'm currently researching Jenkins for use with PHP-based projects, but have yet to use it in an actual deployment situation. Chapter 12 of Jenkins: The Definitive Guide by John Ferguson Smart covers implementing automated and continuous deployment. This chapter should give you some ideas. You can download the guide for 'free' from

http://www.wakaleo.com/books/jenkins-the-definitive-guide

...provided you're willing to fill out your details in the download form.

Also, Sebastian Bergmann (the creator of the php-template for Jenkins) has authored a book entitled Integrate Your PHP Project with Jenkins which is supposed to be published in August, 2011 by O'Reilly Media. I don't know the exact contents of the book, but let's hope it provides good examples of how to use Jenkins for deploying applications built using PHP.

  • Addendum: The first part of a multi-part tutorial by J. Armando Jeronymo on continuous integration with Jenkins has just appeared on PHPmaster: http://phpmaster.com/continuous-integration-with-jenkins-1/ Hopefully the next parts in the tutorial series will discuss what kinds of development scenarios benefit most from using Jenkins. – Marcus Barnes Mar 28 '12 at 17:25

you should check out the build pipeline plugin: https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Build+Pipeline+Plugin you can set up your own qa workflow with that.
