July 25, 2014 is the 15th Annual System Administrator Appreciation Day. Cake welcome!
The first System Administrator Appreciation Day was celebrated on July 28, 2000. Kekatos was inspired to create the special day by a Hewlett-Packard magazine advertisement in which a system administrator is presented with flowers and fruit-baskets by grateful co-workers as thanks for installing new printers. Kekatos had just installed several of the same model printer at his workplace.
I just had a little gotcha using Jenkins and trying to integrate it so that bitbucket can use git hooks to kick off builds on commits. So I thought I’d share how I managed to get it all working as to me it wasn’t that clear.
Firstly I’ll assume you have a secured Jenkins instance setup and a repository on bitbucket.
Once it’s working login to your jenkins instance as the user you wish to use to kick off builds and manually build a job you’ve configured.
