Screenshare Into Jenkins Build Agents

How to Screenshare into the Build Agent

You will need to have a PEMfile so you can tunnel through our Bastion host, please ask @Ben for one if you don’t have one.

Build Agent IP Addresses:

1. 172.31.103.222

2. 172.31.104.216

3. 172.31.105.208

4. 172.31.105.199

5. In Terminal on your machine, establish an SSH tunnel to the given build agent:

   ssh -i Documents/remote_builds/MyKeypair.pem -fN -l ubuntu -L 5900:build-agent-ip-address:5900 [connect-prod.lionstudios.cc](<http://connect-prod.lionstudios.cc/>)

6. Launch the "Screen Sharing" app:

• Connect to localhost:

• Enter the Jenkins Build credentials, which can be found in 1Pass (Lion CI Build Agent credentials)

• Log in as the "jenkins" user (use the password as previous step). If you are prompted with a dialog box that mentions that "jenkins" is currently using the display "localhost", make sure "Share the display" is selected and then click the "Connect" button:

• Once finished, simply close the Screen Sharing app to leave, don't log out of the agent.
