[FIXED] How to configure Jenkins to run on port 80

 October 09, 2022     continuous-integration, hudson, jenkins, ubuntu, upstart     No comments   

Issue

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 <james.page@ubuntu.com>"

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

Solution

Give a try to 'authbind':

sudo apt-get install authbind
sudo touch /etc/authbind/byport/80
sudo chmod 500 /etc/authbind/byport/80 
sudo chown jenkins /etc/authbind/byport/80

Then modify the script above to have (add authbind before the $JAVA_HOME/bin/java part):

exec daemon --name=jenkins --inherit --output=$JENKINS_LOG/jenkins.log \
--user=$USER -- authbind $JAVA_HOME/bin/java $JAVA_OPTS \
-jar $JENKINS_ROOT/jenkins.war $JENKINS_ARGS \
--preferredClassLoader=java.net.URLClassLoader

For newer Jenkins installations (1.598) on newer Ubuntu installations (14.04) edit /etc/init.d/jenkins and add authbind before $JAVA

$SU -l $JENKINS_USER --shell=/bin/bash -c "$DAEMON $DAEMON_ARGS -- authbind $JAVA $JAVA_ARGS -jar $JENKINS_WAR $JENKINS_ARGS" || return 2

As mentioned by Alan (see comment below) if you need IPv6 and your system is lower than Quantal you can instead of using apt-get to install authbind download a higher version. Make sure you have libc6 and libc6-udeb installed. Here is authbind version 2.1.1 from Ubuntu:

  • amd64
  • i386

Then execute:

sudo dpkg -i authbind_2.1.1_amd64.deb
# or sudo dpkg -i authbind_2.1.1_i386.deb

sudo touch /etc/authbind/byport/80
sudo chmod 500 /etc/authbind/byport/80 
sudo chown jenkins /etc/authbind/byport/80
