    It depends how you install it. If you install it globally then it will work for all your projects. Are you using rvm for ruby version and gemset management? https://rvm.io/

  • Jenkins Agents On Kubernetes
    7 projects | dev.to | 4 Sep 2023
    Jenkins is a Java based CI/CD system that can be self hosted. In order to initiate builds, Jenkins utilizes a component called an agent to execute build commands. These agents can be a constantly running service or part of an on demand service such as a cloud provider or Docker containers. Kubernetes is one such solution to deploying build agents on demand. This article will look at how to setup Kubernetes as a provider for Jenkins build agents.
  • Best CI/CD tools for React Native
    3 projects | dev.to | 17 Aug 2023
    In this article, we briefly discussed some popular CI/CD platforms for React Native and why they are crucial in the programming world. We also included some honorable mentions, Jenkins CI and Bitrise, in our comparison table. It is important to remember that every project is different, and therefore it is important to evaluate each tool’s advantages and disadvantages.
  • Looking for a decent (self hostable) program to orchestrate scripts, notify on failures, etc
    1 project | /r/sysadmin | 29 Jun 2023
    Originally, I was using Jenkins (Yes, the CI pipeline java app) for this, but it was clear that is not its purpose, and it was fairly clunky. The only real upside was direct git support, but I don't mind incorporating git pulls into my jobs themselves.

What are some alternatives?

When comparing RVM and Jenkins you can also consider the following projects:

rbenv - Manage your app's Ruby environment

argo-cd - Declarative Continuous Deployment for Kubernetes

asdf - Extendable version manager with support for Ruby, Node.js, Elixir, Erlang & more

woodpecker - Woodpecker is a simple yet powerful CI/CD engine with great extensibility.

chruby - Changes the current Ruby

drone - Gitness is an Open Source developer platform with Source Control management, Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery. [Moved to: https://github.com/harness/gitness]

ruby-build - A tool to download, compile, and install Ruby on Unix-like systems.

checks-api-plugin - Jenkins plugin that defines an API for Jenkins to publish checks to SCM platforms.

ruby-install - Installs Ruby, JRuby, Rubinius, TruffleRuby or MRuby

Concourse - Concourse is a container-based continuous thing-doer written in Go.

nvm - Node Version Manager - POSIX-compliant bash script to manage multiple active node.js versions

onedev - Git Server with CI/CD, Kanban, and Packages. Seamless integration. Unparalleled experience.
