How do I use my Jenkins server?
- In the panel, open My servers and click your server.
- On the Overview tab, wait for the App row to say "Jenkins is ready". The page refreshes itself.
- Open the link in the Panel address row and enter the details from the Login and Password rows.
First steps
- The setup wizard is skipped, so no plugins come installed. Install the Git and Pipeline plugins from Manage Jenkins, Plugins, Available plugins.
- 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, rundocker compose pullanddocker compose up -din that folder. - If you need build tools, run your job on a separate agent.
Your own domain
- Point your domain's A record to your server's IP address.
- Connect over SSH and go to the folder:
cd /opt/seturack/jenkins - Replace the old name:
sed -i 's/OLD_NAME/yourdomain.com/g' caddy/Caddyfile .env.OLD_NAMEis the part afterhttps://in the address shown in the panel. docker compose up -ddocker compose exec caddy caddy reload --config /etc/caddy/Caddyfile- 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.
