Install
=======
gem install hudson
- gem install hudson --pre (bleeding edge)
+You do not need to download Hudson CI. It is bundled in the RubyGem.
+
Example
=======
Hudson.rb is continuously tested using Hudson at [http://hudson.thefrontside.net/job/hudson.rb/](http://hudson.thefrontside.net/job/hudson.rb/).
The `hudson` application allows you to see the projects/jobs and their statuses:
$ hudson list --host hudson.thefrontside.net --port 80
hudson.rb - http://hudson.thefrontside.net/job/hudson.rb/
TheRubyRacer - http://hudson.thefrontside.net/job/TheRubyRacer/
-
- # alternately use environment variables
+
+Alternately use environment variables:
+
$ HUDSON_HOST=hudson.thefrontside.net HUDSON_PORT=80 hudson list
+Alternately, it will remember the last Hudson CI master used.
+
+ $ hudson list
+
Usage

-To run Hudson server:
+To run your own Hudson server (by default opens at http://localhost:3001):

+ -c, --control [3002] set the shutdown/control port
+ --daemon fork into background and run as a daemon
+ --logfile [PATH] redirect log messages to this file
+ -k, --kill send shutdown signal to control port
+ --home [/Users/drnic/.hudson/server] use this directory to store server data
-Note: HUDSON_HOME defaults to ~/.hudson
+The remaining CLI tasks are for communicating with a running Hudson server; either the one created above or hosted remotely.
+### Jobs

- Usage: hudson list [project_path] [options]
- -p, --port [3001] find hudson on specified port
- --host [localhost] find hudson on specified host
- -h, --help
+ Usage: hudson list [options]

+To add Jobs/Projects (create a Job) on a Hudson server:
- Usage: hudson create [project_path] [options]
- -p, --port [3001] find hudson on specified port
- --host [localhost] find hudson on specified host
- -h, --help
+ Usage: hudson create PROJECT_PATH [options]
+ --public-scm use public scm URL
+ --template [ruby] template of job steps (available: rails,rails3,ruby,rubygem)
+ --assigned-node [ASSIGNED-NODE] only use slave nodes with this label
+ --override override if job exists
+ --no-build create job without initial build
-For all commands, if flags for `host:port` are not provided, it will use either `$HUDSON_HOST` and `$HUDSON_PORT` or the previous target Hudson CI server.
+To trigger a Job to build:
+ Usage: hudson build
+
+To remove a Job from a Hudson server:
+
+ Usage: hudson remove PROJECT_PATH
+
+### Slave nodes
+
+To list slaves on a Hudson server (including itself):
+
+ Usage: hudson nodes
+
+To add a remote machine/remote VM to a Hudson server as a slave:
+
+ Usage: hudson add_node SLAVE_HOST
+ --slave-port [22] SSH port for Hudson to connect to slave node
+ --label [LABEL] Labels for a job --assigned_node to match against to select a slave. --master-key [MASTER-KEY] Location of master public key or identity file
+ --slave-fs [SLAVE-FS] Location of file system on slave for Hudson to use
+ --name [NAME] Name of slave node (default SLAVE_HOST)
+ --slave-user [deploy] SSH user for Hudson to connect to slave node
+
+
+### Selecting a Hudson CI server
+
+**For all client-side commands, there are `--host` and `--port` options flags.** These are cached after first used, so are only required for the first request to a Hudson CI server. For example:
+
+ hudson create . --host localhost --port 3001
+ hudson list
+ hudson create . --override
+
+Alternately, `$HUDSON_HOST` and `$HUDSON_PORT` can be provided in lieu of the cached target Hudson CI server
+
+ HUDSON_HOST=localhost HUDSON_PORT=3001 hudson list
+
