Jenkins is a popular open-source automation tool that helps with continuous integration and continuous delivery. In this tutorial, we will be covering how to install Jenkins on Void Linux.
Before proceeding with this tutorial, you should have:
Jenkins requires Java to run. Ensure that Java is installed on your system by running the following command:
$ sudo xbps-install -S openjdk11-jre
This command installs OpenJDK 11 JRE.
To install Jenkins, we need to add the Jenkins repository to our system.
Run the following commands to add the Jenkins repository:
$ sudo echo "https://pkg.jenkins.io void/" | sudo tee -a /etc/xbps.d/jenkins.conf
$ sudo wget -O pkj.jenkins.io https://pkg.jenkins.io/debian-stable/binary/jenkins.io.key
$ sudo xbps-key add pkj.jenkins.io
Once the Jenkins repository is added, we can proceed with installing Jenkins using the following command:
$ sudo xbps-install -S jenkins
This command installs Jenkins on our system.
Finally, we can start Jenkins by running the following command:
$ sudo ln -s /etc/sv/jenkins /var/service/
This command creates a symbolic link to the Jenkins service directory and starts the Jenkins service.
To verify that Jenkins is installed, navigate to http://localhost:8080 in your web browser. If Jenkins is installed and running successfully, you should see the Jenkins login page.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed Jenkins on Void Linux!
In this tutorial, we covered how to install Jenkins on Void Linux, including adding the Jenkins repository, installing Java and Jenkins, and starting the Jenkins service. Jenkins is a powerful automation tool that can bring value to your development and deployment processes.
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!
