jenkins kubernetes plugin - Waiting for agent to connect (1/100)

9/3/2018

What the problem Base on below configuration, I did 2 test case:

  1. I use my specify images, there are 2 container will create in the same pod, include my define container,jenkins kubernetes plugin will auto create an JNLP container, but the actual command run in JNLP container, not in my specified container.
  2. I try to extend the jnlp-slave images(get it from office site), container name is "jnlp" in the kubenetes plugin pages (images is build by office docker file "https://hub.docker.com/r/jenkins/jnlp-slave/~/dockerfile/"), I first let the base jenkins/slave images works well, then try to extend it as I need. but when I try use default one, it always prompted "Waiting for agent to connect (1/100) ", it seems wait for JNLP client to connect, I enter the dynamic image which create by jenkins kubernetes plugin, I found there is not any process relation to "ENTRYPOINT ["jenkins-slave"]", I checked the jenkins logs, it prompted below info. Will be very glad for any kind of hint.

Jenkins Version :Jenkins ver. 2.138

Jenkins kubernetes Plugin : 1.12.3

What I have done:

  1. Kubernetes cluster is running well
  2. Jenkins master server is independent with Kubernetes cluster.
  3. Jenkins kubernetes plugi get kubernetes credential and connection testing successfully.
  4. Added an kubernetes cloud with labeled POD.
  5. Combined the label with a task of Jenkins by "Restrict where this project can be run"

FROM jenkins/slave:3.23-1-alpine
MAINTAINER Oleg Nenashev <o.v.nenashev@gmail.com>
LABEL Description="This is a base image, which allows connecting Jenkins agents via JNLP protocols" Vendor="Jenkins project" Version="3.23"

COPY jenkins-slave /usr/local/bin/jenkins-slave

ENTRYPOINT ["jenkins-slave"]

how to triger the job:

Jenkins trigger jobs by curl command (not in the pipeline), jenkins kubernetes plugin can trigger jobs with my defined images.

Issue was fixed with below actions:

  1. Rename your container name to jnlp in the kubernetes plugin.

  2. Keep the JNLP configured correctly in your images ENTRYPOINT From specific-images
    (COPY jenkins-slave /usr/local/bin/jenkins-slave ENTRYPOINT ["jenkins-slave"])

  3. Let "command to run" and arguments to pass to the command empty.
