Jenkins Debian Packages

This is the Debian package repository of Jenkins to automate installation and upgrade.

To use this repository, first add the key to your system:

    
  curl -fsSL https://pkg.jenkins.io/debian/jenkins.io-2023.key | sudo tee \
    /usr/share/keyrings/jenkins-keyring.asc > /dev/null

Then add a Jenkins apt repository entry:

    
  echo deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/jenkins-keyring.asc] \
    https://pkg.jenkins.io/debian binary/ | sudo tee \
    /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jenkins.list > /dev/null

Update your local package index, then finally install Jenkins:

   
  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get install fontconfig openjdk-17-jre
  sudo apt-get install jenkins

The apt packages were signed using this key:

pub   rsa4096 2022-03-03 [SC]
      D91D3E00200107E4219524DD42715B56E211B042

Why is the other content on the page being retained if it will not be readable after the redirect?

hainenber · 2023-09-08T16:37:31Z

I decided to leave the remaining content as is to ensure the HTML templating scripts/functions wouldn't break. At the moment, I'm not well versed to the codebase so I'd like to add incremental change before understanding it further to remove the HTML templating apparatus and subsequently, the page's contents.

basil · 2023-09-08T16:44:05Z

The content should be removed at the same time that the redirect is being introduced. As-is, this PR is not ready for merge.

hainenber · 2023-09-08T17:15:43Z

I've pushed new commits to clean up unused content as redirection is added.

This is the index.html generated by make war.publish

Is this migration losing information? I don't see any references to tzdata-java on https://www.jenkins.io/doc/book/installing/linux/, but I see them (deleted) in this PR.

I checked with Rocky Linux 8 using the installation instructions from https://www.jenkins.io/doc/book/installing/linux/#red-hat-centos and when I enter the command sudo yum install java-17-openjdk, one of the dependencies that is listed to be installed is tzdata-java. I believe the removal of the tzdata-java reference is safe.

I haven't checked Rocky Linux 9, but I assume that if tzdata-java is an openjdk-17 dependency on RHEL 8 it will also be one on RHEL 9.

basil · 2023-09-29T19:32:52Z

It had to be updated to get the automated tests to pass in #418 and #420. I wouldn't consider its removal safe until it is removed from the automated tests.

Super. I'll submit an update to the installation document in the user guide so that the user guide includes that information.

Thanks for catching that. Added to the Debian documentation in jenkins-infra/jenkins.io#6721

That will need a larger addition to the installation section of the documentation. There isn't a section for openSUSE installation yet. I'll need to check with @kmartens27 to see if he's available to work on an openSUSE section for the documentation.

bin/indexGenerator.py

AFAIU, removing those lines here and in templates/index.html will result in pages without the <jio> footer.

dduportal · 2025-12-21T10:33:49Z

Is this PR still wanted?

If yes, since jenkins-infra/helpdesk#3705 is almost finished, I suggest that we introduce an infrastructure side redirection in the web service pkg.origin.jenkins.io. It would mean:

As a prerequisite, https://www.jenkins.io/doc/book/installing/linux/#linux should be updated to:
- Add the openSUSE instructions (since [pkg.jenkins.io] Unify RPM Jenkins packages (RedHat/OpenSUSE) jenkins-infra/helpdesk#4924)
- Check that all requirements written in this repository are also present and up to date in www.jenkins.io (looks like it is already the case)
We should update the PR here to only remove ALL HTML content (an infrastructure-side redirection means we will never see any HTML content)
