Re-imaging dev environment

Last updated on
14 July 2016

If a developer requests to have their Drupal.org development environment re-imaged, here is the process.

Note: This will destroy everything in the development environment! Make sure the requesting user has back ups.

  1. First, connect to Jenkins.
  2. Run the destroy_development_environment job. Enter:

    Site: drupal.org (this is the site you want to clone.)
    Name: [the part of the URL that comes before "-drupal.redesign.devdrupal.org", such as "metrics"]

    A screenshot of the Jenkins interface showing the fields filled in as above.

    Be absolutely sure you type the right thing in here and don't obliterate someone else's development environment. There is no confirm, no "pass go and collect $200", the site is gone once this job runs.

  3. Once this job complete, choose the deploy_development_environment job. Enter:

    Site: drupal.org (this is the site you want to clone.)
    Name: [the part of the URL that comes before "-drupal.redesign.devdrupal.org", such as "metrics". This should be named around an "initiative," rather than a person whenever possible.]
    Comment: [a description of the site and what it's for. This should reference a Drupal.org issue where changes are being discussed.]

    A screenshot of the Jenkins interface showing the fields filled in as above.

    This job will take about an hour and 45 minutes to complete.

  4. Post back to the issue that the request has been fulfilled, then mark it "fixed".
