Support environments without access to the Internet

[jaranflaath]

Hi,

we have our Jenkins server running in an environment without access to the internet. Would it be possible to have a version of the build monitor plugin that does not require internet access, but have all required resources bundled with the plugin?

Hi and thanks for taking your time to give me your feedback!

All the resources that the monitor uses should already be bundled with it (javascript, css, angular, etc). Could you please help me understand your request better by clarifying the following:

• are you referring to the fact that you can't download the plugin from Jenkins Update Centre, because your Jenkins doesn't have access to the Internet
• or is there any particular issue you're seeing with the behaviour of the plugin when it's run on Jenkins without access to the Internet?

Hi, thanks for the quick response.

I've manually downloaded the plugin and installed it in Jenkins, but when I create a new view based on the Build Monitor View, the view takes a very long time to load. Upon inspecting, i saw there were requests to fonts.googleapis.com and to ajax.googleapis.com to download webfonts and angularjs.

Once these requests time out, the view shows up with only the view name on top, and the configuration cog.

Opening the log, shows the error: No module: ngCookies.

Because of the requests to googleapis.com I drew the conclusion that this error was due to the external resources, which we are unable to access - but I may very well be wrong! :)

By the way, the requests to googleapis.com seems to be caused by lines 10, 17 and 18 in https://github.com/jan-molak/jenkins-build-monitor-plugin/blob/master/src/main/resources/com/smartcodeltd/jenkinsci/plugins/buildmonitor/BuildMonitorView/main.jelly

That's a very good point about the font, sir, I'll check if there are no license restrictions and if it's fine for me to distribute it with the plugin.

I'll also need to improve the way ngCookies is included if there's no Internet connection present.
I did some initial work in this area, and as you can see on line 19 I only load angular if it hasn't been loaded from googleapis. This works fine, since you're not getting any JavaScript errors for angular. What needs an improvement though, is the loading mechanism for ngCookies on line 21 which I shall look into.

Thanks for taking your time to investigate it :)

Happy to help! Will keep an eye out for new releases :)

Hi,
I have installed Jenkins and plugins on a machine that does not has internet access. Can you please tell me how can I use Jenkins without using Git ?
