From Zero to Green Build: How I Built a Jenkins + DevPod CI Pipeline with Mise (+ 10 Real Errors That Taught Me Everything)

A complete hands-on guide to building an isolated, reproducible CI pipeline with Jenkins Controller, SSH-connected DevPod agents, and Mise runtime management.

Continuous Integration (CI) setups frequently suffer from a classic problem: the "Works on My Machine" dilemma. Local development happens in nicely customized containers or modern toolchains, while CI build servers either drift into giant "snowflakes" full of globally installed packages, or run bloated custom VMs that take forever to configure and maintain.

In this project, I set out to build a modern, isolated, and fully reproducible CI lab environment:

Jenkins Controller handles scheduling and orchestration.

DevPod (Containers via SSH) provides isolated, reproducible build agents.
