Create a Pipeline Job<\/h2>\n<p>Choose &#8220;Pipeline&#8221; when creating a new Jenkins job. Pipelines are defined as code in a Jenkinsfile, stored in your repository, so your deployment logic stays version-controlled.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Define the Stages<\/h2>\n<p>A basic Jenkinsfile includes three stages:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Build:<\/strong> Compile code and run tests.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Package:<\/strong> Create an artifact (JAR or Docker image) and push it to a registry.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Deploy:<\/strong> SSH into the server, pull the artifact, and restart the service.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Minimal Example<\/h3>\n<pre>pipeline {\n  agent any\n  stages {\n    stage('Build') { steps { sh 'docker build -t myapp:latest .' } }\n    stage('Deploy') { steps { sh 'ssh deploy@server \"docker pull myapp &amp;&amp; docker restart myapp\"' } }\n  }\n}<\/pre>\n<h2>3. Trigger via Webhooks<\/h2>\n<p>Link your Git host to Jenkins using a webhook (e.g., <code>http:\/\/your-jenkins:8080\/github-webhook\/<\/code>) and enable the &#8220;GitHub hook trigger&#8221; option. Now every push to your main branch automatically starts the pipeline.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Notify and Rollback<\/h2>\n<p>Use the <code>post<\/code> block to send email alerts on failures. For production, keep the previous artifact version and add a manual approval step with <code>input<\/code> to guard critical releases.<\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>Automating deployments with Jenkins eliminates manual steps, increases reliability, and speeds up delivery. Start with a simple pipeline, enable webhooks, then layer on notifications and rollback for a robust CI\/CD workflow.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;`<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;`html How to Automate Deployments with Jenkins: A Step-by-Step Guide Manually deploying applications is slow and error-prone.
