I'm running Ubuntu 11.10 and have run sudo apt-get install jenkins
to install Jenkins on this system.
I've seen some tutorials on how to setup a reverse proxy (Apache, Nginx, etc), however this is a VM dedicated for just jenkins and I'd like keep it as lean as possible while having jenkins running on port 80.
I've found the upstart config in /etc/init/jenkins.conf
and modified the port to 80 env HTTP_PORT=80
When I start jenkins via service jenkins start
, ps
reveals that it runs for a few seconds then terminates.
Is this because jenkins is running as the jenkins
user on a privileged port? If so, how do I fix this? Any other ideas a welcome.
Here is the upstart config:
description "jenkins: Jenkins Continuous Integration Server" author "James Page <[email protected]>" start on (local-filesystems and net-device-up IFACE!=lo) stop on runlevel [!2345] env USER="jenkins" env GROUP="jenkins" env JENKINS_LOG="/var/log/jenkins" env JENKINS_ROOT="/usr/share/jenkins" env JENKINS_HOME="/var/lib/jenkins" env JENKINS_RUN="/var/run/jenkins" env HTTP_PORT=80 env AJP_PORT=-1 env JAVA_OPTS="" env JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/default-java" limit nofile 8192 8192 pre-start script test -f $JENKINS_ROOT/jenkins.war || { stop ; exit 0; } $JENKINS_ROOT/bin/maintain-plugins.sh mkdir $JENKINS_RUN > /dev/null 2>&1 || true chown -R $USER:$GROUP $JENKINS_RUN || true end script script JENKINS_ARGS="--webroot=$JENKINS_RUN/war --httpPort=$HTTP_PORT --ajp13Port=$AJP_PORT" exec daemon --name=jenkins --inherit --output=$JENKINS_LOG/jenkins.log --user=$USER \ -- $JAVA_HOME/bin/java $JAVA_OPTS -jar $JENKINS_ROOT/jenkins.war $JENKINS_ARGS \ --preferredClassLoader=java.net.URLClassLoader end script
You can find this file in the Jenkins install folder (the default path is C:\Program Files\Jenkins\jenkins. xml). Open the file using a text editor such as Notepad or Notepad++. Scroll down until you find the line that contains --httpPort=8080 and change the number to the port you want to set.
Networking parameters. Runs Jenkins listener on port $HTTP_PORT using standard http protocol. The default is port 8080.
Jenkins runs on Tomcat, which uses port 8080 as the default. -p 5000:5000 required to attach slave servers; port 50000 is used to communicate between master and slaves.
Another solution is to simply use iptables to reroute incoming traffic from 80 to 8080. The rules would look like:
-A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 8080 -j ACCEPT -A PREROUTING -t nat -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 8080
Reformatted as an iptables.rules file:
*filter :INPUT ACCEPT [100:100000] :FORWARD ACCEPT [0:0] :OUTPUT ACCEPT [95:9000] -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 8080 -j ACCEPT COMMIT *nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 8080 COMMIT
The advantage of a iptable.rules file is the rules can persist after reboots. Just make sure to integrate any other current iptable rules into the same file!
On Redhat/CentOS this file can go in /etc/sysconfig/iptables
.
On Debian/Ubuntu systems they can be saved in /etc/iptables/rules.v4
by using the iptables-persistent
package. Or the iptable.rules can be called by modifying /etc/network/interfaces
or hooking into if-up
/if-down
scripts. The Ubuntu Community wiki has a great page explaining these methods.
As is usually the case with networking, there's a lot of different ways to accomplish the same result. Use what works best for you!
that's it
