Automate creation of node in jenkins after deploying static container

[Haroon-Khel]

An additional feature of the dockernode.yml playbook will be to automate the creation of the jenkins node of a newly deployed container. Python's jenkins library should facilitate this

For 2Q when the project is created

Python's jenkins library should facilitate this

We also have some groovy code for this in https://github.com/adoptium/jenkins-helper/blob/master/src/NodeHelper.groovy which may be useful.

Experimented with https://pypi.org/project/jenkinsapi/ and https://pypi.org/project/python-jenkins/. I hit this error on both of their create_node/slave() function

  File "/Users/hkhel/Library/Python/3.9/lib/python/site-packages/requests/models.py", line 1021, in raise_for_status
    raise HTTPError(http_error_msg, response=self)
requests.exceptions.HTTPError: 404 Client Error: Not Found for url: https://ci.adoptium.net/computer/doCreateItem

Doesnt look like a permissions error.

I tried using ansible's jenkins_script module which allows for executing groovy commands on a jenkins server, https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/community/general/jenkins_script_module.html, no luck
