Jenkins is an open-source automation server that provides a way for developers to automate software building, testing, and deployment. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Jenkins on NetBSD.
Before we begin, make sure you have the following:
Login to your NetBSD instance and update the system. Use the following command:
sudo pkgin -y update
Jenkins requires Java to run. We can install OpenJDK using the following command:
sudo pkgin -y install openjdk11
Now, we can download the Jenkins package using the following command:
sudo pkgin -y install jenkins
The above command will download and install Jenkins on your NetBSD instance.
Once Jenkins is installed, we need to start the Jenkins service. We can start it using the following command:
sudo /etc/rc.d/jenkins start
Now Jenkins is running on your NetBSD instance. To access the Jenkins web interface, open your web browser and type http://<your-server-ip>:8080 in the address bar.
You can proceed with the Jenkins setup wizard that will guide you through configuring Jenkins.
If you want to stop the Jenkins service, use the following command:
sudo /etc/rc.d/jenkins stop
Jenkins is now installed on your NetBSD instance, and you can use it to automate software building, testing, and deployment. Keep in mind that Jenkins is a powerful automation server that can be used to perform complex tasks, so make sure to follow the best practices and keep your environment secure.
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!
