toaster.do Jenkins backend

These python modules serve as the Jenkins backend to the Devuan SDK's Web interface. They are to be executed by the web CGI when a new build is requested.

Configuration

This backend is configured using two files. config.py and jenkins_creds.py. The former contains variables that tell the backend in what way to work and where to look for files. The latter - jenkins_creds.py is not included in the git repository as it contains important credentials which allow the backend to work with Jenkins' API.

The jenkins_creds.py file should look like the following:

jenkins_host = 'https://sdk.dyne.org:4443'
jenkins_cred = 'toaster:thetoasterpassword'

These files will be read and imported by sync_jobs.py when ran.

Usage

usage: sync_jobs.py [-h] [-a] [-d] [-n] jobname

positional arguments:
  jobname

optional arguments:
  -h, --help    show this help message and exit
  -a, --add
  -d, --delete
  -n, --dryrun

The jobname argument should be in a specific format. It should contain the requester's email, which sdk was chosen, the requested architecture, and a timestamp.

In case of vm-sdk or live-sdk, these would look like:

parazyd@dyne.org-vm_amd64-1537977964
parazyd@dyne.org-live_amd64-1537977964

In case of arm-sdk, we also need to know the board we're building for:

parazyd@dyne.org-arm_armhf_sunxi-1537977964

All of this combined, the required command to add a new job to Jenkins would look something like the following:

sync_jobs.py -a parazyd@dyne.org-vm_amd64-1537977964

In case of removing an existing job, all of the above applies the same way. You just have to use -d instead of -a.
