Jenkins is a popular open-source automation server that allows for continuous integration and delivery of software projects. In this tutorial, we will walk through the process of installing Jenkins on a Manjaro Linux system.
Before we begin, make sure that you have the following:
Before we install Jenkins, it is important to make sure that our system is up to date. To update our system, we will use the following command:
sudo pacman -Syu
This command will update our package index and ensure that our system is running the latest software versions.
As mentioned earlier, Jenkins requires Java to run. If you do not have Java installed on your system, you can install it using the following command:
sudo pacman -S jre8-openjdk-headless
This command will install Java 8 on your system. If you prefer to use a different version of Java, you can specify the version number in the command.
The next step is to add the Jenkins repository to our system. We will use the following command:
sudo pacman -S jenkins
This command will add the Jenkins repository to our system and install the latest version of Jenkins.
Now that Jenkins is installed on our system, we can start the Jenkins service using the following command:
sudo systemctl start jenkins
This command will start the Jenkins service and enable it to run automatically at system boot.
Jenkins should now be running on your Manjaro system. You can access Jenkins by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost:8080.
You should see the Jenkins dashboard where you will be prompted to enter the initial password. To retrieve the initial password, you can use the following command:
sudo cat /var/lib/jenkins/secrets/initialAdminPassword
Enter the initial password and then customize your Jenkins instance to your liking.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Jenkins on your Manjaro Linux system. Jenkins is a powerful tool that can help streamline the development process and increase productivity. As you continue to use Jenkins, you will discover its many features and benefits.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
