How to connect Bitbucket to Jenkins properly

Question

Since about 1 week now, Bitbucket doesn\'t (?) send a request to my Jenkins server.

I\'ve set it all up like this:

Endpoint http://username:

I had a similar problems, till I got it working. Below is the full listing of the integration:

1. Generate public/private keys pair: ssh-keygen -t rsa

2. Copy the public key (~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub) and paste it in Bitbucket SSH keys, in user’s account management console:

3. Copy the private key (~/.ssh/id_rsa) to new user (or even existing one) with private key credentials, in this case, username will not make a difference, so username can be anything:

4. run this command to test if you can get access to Bitbucket account: ssh -T git@bitbucket.org

5. OPTIONAL: Now, you can use your git to to copy repo to your desk without passwjord git clone git@bitbucket.org:username/repo_name.git

6. Now you can enable Bitbucket hooks for Jenkins push notifications and automatic builds, you will do that in 2 steps:

   1. Add an authentication token inside the job/project you configure, it can be anything:

   2. In Bitbucket hooks: choose jenkins hooks, and fill the fields as below:

Where:

**End point**: username:usertoken@jenkins_domain_or_ip
**Project name**: is the name of job you created on Jenkins
**Token**: Is the authorization token you added in the above steps in your Jenkins' job/project 

Recommendation: I usually add the usertoken as the authorization Token (in both Jenkins Auth Token job configuration and Bitbucket hooks), making them one variable to ease things on myself.
