Jenkins on Void

Jenkins is janky.

Start

Start the service file.

1sudo ln -s /etc/sv/jenkins /var/service
2sudo sv start jenkins

Then visit the web interface with $BROWSER localhost:8080.

If it's not working, try running the command from the run file the first time:

1chpst -u jenkins java -jar /opt/jenkins/jenkins.war

Updating

Jenkins will not work if out of date. You will be prompted to update by downloading a jenkins.war file. Download it, then stop the service, and move the file to /opt/jenkins/jenkins.war, then start the service again.
