Building the Deployment Package

Build Commerce Deployment Package

After you have access to the Jenkins server and the bootstrap and build-jenkins-agents jobs are complete, you can start building the deployment package. For information, see the How to Access Jenkins section.

The build-deployment-package job in Jenkins requires the following parameters:

• cloudOpsForKubernetesRepoURL: The Git repository URL of the CloudOps for Kubernetes code, used for the Jenkinsfile for this build
• cloudOpsForKubernetesBranch: The branch of CloudOps for Kubernetes to use for the Jenkinsfile
• epCommerceRepoURL: The Git repository URL for the Self Managed Commerce code
• epCommerceBranch: The branch of Self Managed Commerce to use
• epCommerceCredentialId: The Jenkins credential ID used to access the Git repositories

note

The values set in the docker-compose.yml file during the bootstrap process are the default values.

The job pushes the deployment package into the Nexus server, which is setup during the bootstrap process, in the ep-releases repository at com.elasticpath.extensions.ext-deployment-package.

The job also creates an artifact named output.json. This file contains values you need to find the deployment package when you are building the Docker images.

Next Steps

With a deployment package built, continue on to building the Commerce Docker images.
