Setting up Continuous Integration on Jenkins 2

Installing Jenkins 2

Standard

Install JDK 8 on your machine.

Go to the official site https://jenkins.io/2.0/

Download the jenkins.war

With Docker

Launch the Docker image (the default port has been changed to 18080 since the JHipster app is configured to run on 8080)

docker container run -d --name jenkins2 -p 18080:8080 -p 50000:50000 jenkins/jenkins

You can then access the Jenkins dashboard on

  • http://localhost:18080 (on MacOS & Linux)
  • http://192.168.99.100:18080 (on Windows)
    • If this doesn’t work replace 192.168.99.100 with your docker’s default ip address: docker-machine ip default

Note: You’ll be asked for an initialAdminPassword which you’ll find in the logs during your container startup. You can also access it via docker logs jenkins2 e.g.
