I am implementing the recommendations from Integrating PHP projects with Jenkins for my own PHP projects.

I have created a jenkins user in my ubuntu 12.10 server. I used Phing as my build tool and I have one step in my build process where I need to restart my nginx using sudo.

According to this solution, it suggests to allow jenkins to use sudo without password.

And also, it is not entirely sure about the security implications for such an arrangement.

I want to ask whether I should go ahead with this arrangement.

I installed the jenkins on the same server as the production code.
