Installing and Configuring Jenkins on a RHEL 7 Server

Welcome to this guide on installing and configuring Jenkins on a RHEL 7 server. Jenkins is a popular Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) tool that automates the software development and testing processes.

To begin installing Jenkins on your RHEL 7 server, execute the following commands:

sudo yum install java-1.8.0-openjdk

sudo wget -O /etc/yum.repos.d/jenkins.repo https://pkg.jenkins.io/redhat/jenkins.repo

sudo rpm --import https://pkg.jenkins.io/redhat/jenkins.io.key

sudo yum install jenkins

After installing Jenkins, you should configure it. Edit the Jenkins configuration file, adding JENKINS_PORT="8080" to set the default port.

Now restart the Jenkins service using the command:

sudo systemctl restart jenkins

After this, Jenkins will be accessible at your server’s address and port 8080. Go to this address in your browser and follow the instructions to configure Jenkins.

You now have a configured and ready-to-use Jenkins CI/CD tool on your RHEL 7 server.
