Quickstart

Really Quick Quickstart guide

Make use of Jervis Bootstrap. This is meant for spinning up a Jenkins instance really fast. This is great for demo purposes, trying out Jervis, and developing quick patches.

git clone https://github.com/samrocketman/jervis-bootstrap.git
cd jervis-bootstrap
./jervis_bootstrap.sh

Once that's done running simply visit https://localhost:8080/ and start working! Jenkins is provisioned within that git repository and all files related to it, including JENKINS_HOME, exist inside of the jervis-bootstrap repository. This makes management and cleanup easy.

Controlling bootstrapped Jenkins

You can control the bootstrapped Jenkins with a script that was downloaded during the bootstrap process, provision_jenkins.sh.

Stop Jenkins

./provision_jenkins.sh stop

Start Jenkins

./provision_jenkins.sh start

Restart Jenkins

./provision_jenkins.sh restart
