CLI args: java -jar jenkins.war –help
Additional (unmentioned) CLI args at http://winstone.sourceforge.net/
There is a Slack package.
Add necessary user and group: from jenkins.SlackBuild:
groupadd -g 251 jenkins useradd -g 251 -u 251 -r -s /bin/bash -d /var/lib/jenkins jenkins
Is done in /etc/jenkins/jenkins.conf. (This file controlls /usr/bin/jenkinsd)
Jenkins needs a home dir JENKINS_HOME to perform builds and keep archives. The Slack package defaults that dir to /var/lib/jenkins. To move it to the /home partion with little effort, you can simply use a symlink:
cd /var/lib cp -a jenkins /home/ chown -R jenkins:jenkins /home/jenkins mv jenkins jenkins.sborg ln -s /home/jenkins jenkins
Just Replace .war file in /usr/share/jenkins/jenkins.war
This can do jenkins by itself if you give the according file permission to /usr/share/jenkins/jenkins.war
