A way to automatically populate one or more GitHub Organizations on a Jenkins instance

This document contains the way that I solved a specific issue. The issue was to populate one or more GitHub Organizations on a Jenkins instance upon initial start up.

Back story

To ensure compliance with audit, security, maintenance, and general sanity, my team is tasked with ensuring our 200+ developer have access to clean and up to date Jenkins instances.

The way we solve this is by having a locally developed portal that acts as an order form. Basically any developer can order an instance by supplying the request name of the instance and a list of one or more GitHub Organizations (from our internal GitHub Enterprise) they wish to use on the instance.

import jenkins.model.*

jlc = JenkinsLocationConfiguration.get()
String virtualHost = System.getenv("VIRTUAL_HOST")
virtualHost = virtualHost.toLowerCase()

if (!virtualHost?.trim()) {
    virtualHost = "[PLACE DEFAULT HOST HERE]"
}
jlc.setUrl("https://${virtualHost.toLowerCase()}/")
