Bit Bucket Jenkins Integration.

Question

Hi there,

I am New to both Bit-Bucket and Jenkins.

I have a Jenkins instance running on my local host.

I am trying to integrate this Jenkins instance with my Bit-bucket project using Web Hooks.

I am getting Invalid URL message when i give my Jenkins Instance url. Below is the error screen shot.

Am i missing something here ?

Have tried with the IP address also, like http://192.168.1.146:8080/jenkins/job/TestApplication/

Even this did not help me.

Thanks in advance.

Satish.

Hi Satish,

I could see in your screenshot you are using localhost on hooks address. You need to use a valid IP address on Bitbucket side. Also, please check this documentation about webhooks: https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucket/tutorial-create-and-trigger-a-webhook-747606432.html

@Kaz Nishimura - Thanks for pointing out this conceptual security issue. I have updated my answer with a risk assessment and options how to deal with this while increasing convenience on the side.

I think it's worth noting that a similar and issue exists when using dynamic DNS, no matter the fixed host name:
If the DNS name is consumed by a JVM which happens to use the odd (or even ill advised) default TTL to never re-resolve DNS names to IP addresses, you are effectively in the same situation. This non re-resolving JVM DNS behavior has bitten lots of users already, so from my observations, the likelihood of this to happen is considerably larger than the reuse of those ngrok identifiers (provided they handle them correctly) - YMMV of course.

Thank you for the additional information. If you choose to use such a tunneling service, keep in mind that you should not use any randomly generated host names in webhooks. Randomly generated host names may be assigned to another person someday if you shut down your tunnel. Always use a fixed host name (subdomain).
