Installing Jenkins
To install Jenkins on your CentOS system, follow the steps below:
Jenkins is a java-application, so the first step is to install java.
yum install java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel
Next step is to enable the Jenkins repository. To do that, import the GPG key using the following curl command:
wget -O /etc/yum.repos.d/jenkins.repo https://pkg.jenkins.io/redhat-stable/jenkins.repo
And add the repository to your system with:
rpm –import https://pkg.jenkins.io/redhat-stable/jenkins.io.key
Once the repository is enabled, install the latest stable version of Jenkins by typing:
yum install jenkins
After the installation process is completed, start the Jenkins service with:
systemctl start jenkins
systemctl status jenkins
systemctl enable jenkins
Configure the firewall to allow access for the Jenkins portal from external machines
firewall-cmd –permanent –add-port=8080/tcp
firewall-cmd –reload
Open web browser and go to the following URL.
http://your.ip.add.ress:8080
For security reasons, Jenkins puts up the initial password in /var/lib/Jenkins/secrets/initialAdminPassword file to prevent an unauthorised Jenkins installation. To unlock Jenkins copy the initial password and put into the administrator password section.
run this command to get the initialAdminPassword
cat /var/lib/jenkins/secrets/initialAdminPassword

After this you will see the window and click on “install suggested plugin”
After installation your Jenkins is ready ?. Now you can create your first job and enjoy the CI/CD tool.
