Jenkins is an open-source automation server that supports building, deploying, and automating any project. In this guide, we will show you how to install Jenkins on the Fedora CoreOS Latest.

Step 1: Log in and Update Your Fedora CoreOS System

First, log in to your Fedora CoreOS system with root privileges. Once you are logged in, update your system by running the following command in the terminal:

Step 2: Install OpenJDK and Git

Jenkins requires Java and Git to be installed on your system. Use the following command to install OpenJDK and Git:

sudo dnf install -y java-1.8.0-openjdk git

Step 3: Install Jenkins

To install Jenkins, add the Jenkins repository key to your system, and import the Jenkins repository using the following commands:

sudo rpm --import https://pkg.jenkins.io/redhat/jenkins.io.key
sudo nano /etc/yum.repos.d/jenkins.repo

When the editor opens, paste the following lines into it:

[jenkins]

gpgcheck=1

Save the file and exit the editor.

Next, update the list of available packages, and install Jenkins using the following command:

sudo dnf update

Step 4: Start and Enable Jenkins Service

Once you have installed Jenkins on your system, start the Jenkins service and enable it to start automatically at boot time using the following commands:

sudo systemctl start jenkins.service

Step 5: Access Jenkins Web Interface

Jenkins runs on port 8080 by default. To access the Jenkins web interface, go to your web browser and enter the following URL:
