Description

Create a script that creates a Jenkins environment with a built-in executor. This should enable:

  • Sanity checks of Shared Library changes (fork and repo itself)
  • Sanity checks of Jenkinsfile changes (fork of rancher/test and repo itself)

Contributor guide

Research direction
Develop a script to set up a local Jenkins environment with an executor, enabling sanity checks for shared libraries and Jenkinsfiles. Start by researching Jenkins installation methods (e.g., Docker, WAR) and configuration as code. Then implement the script focusing on automation and dependency management.
