How do I use my Jenkins server?

Apps 102 views Markdown
  1. In the panel, open My servers and click your server.
  2. On the Overview tab, wait for the App row to say "Jenkins is ready". The page refreshes itself.
  3. Open the link in the Panel address row and enter the details from the Login and Password rows.

First steps

  1. The setup wizard is skipped, so no plugins come installed. Install the Git and Pipeline plugins from Manage Jenkins, Plugins, Available plugins.
  2. Create your first job with New Item on the home page.

Good to know

  • Anonymous access is off, so nothing shows without signing in.
  • Jenkins runs in a container: /opt/seturack/jenkins. To update, run docker compose pull and docker compose up -d in that folder.
  • If you need build tools, run your job on a separate agent.

Your own domain

  1. Point your domain's A record to your server's IP address.
  2. Connect over SSH and go to the folder: cd /opt/seturack/jenkins
  3. Replace the old name: sed -i 's/OLD_NAME/yourdomain.com/g' caddy/Caddyfile .env. OLD_NAME is the part after https:// in the address shown in the panel.
  4. docker compose up -d
  5. docker compose exec caddy caddy reload --config /etc/caddy/Caddyfile
  6. Sign in to Jenkins at the new address and update Manage Jenkins, System, Jenkins URL.

Caddy gets and renews the certificate by itself.

No server yet? Order a server with Jenkins installed: you choose the size and pay for what you choose.
