Update Jenkins on Ubuntu

I’ve got an installation of Jenkins on a Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS which I needed to update. In order to do so I did the following: Download the new version (2.107 at the moment of writing this post). In /home/user/backup/ execute:

wget http://updates.jenkins-ci.org/download/war/2.107/jenkins.war

1 2	wget http://updates.jenkins-ci.org/download/war/2.107/jenkins.war

Backup the old version (Jenkins war is installed in /usr/share/jenkins):

sudo cp /usr/share/jenkins/jenkins.war /home/user/backup/jenkins-2.8.war

1 2	sudo cp /usr/share/jenkins/jenkins.war /home/user/backup/jenkins-2.8.war

Overwrite the old jenkins.war:

sudo cp /home/user/backup/jenkins.war /usr/share/jenkins/jenkins.war

1 2	sudo cp /home/user/backup/jenkins.war /usr/share/jenkins/jenkins.war

Restart jenkins

sudo service jenkins restart

1 2	sudo service jenkins restart

Now, you’re all set and you can start updating the plugins. HTH, A little experiment: If you find this post and ad below useful, please check the ad out :-)

Only after running it as root, it did detect and loaded it properly. So, I’ve figured there’s no point having a terminal open at all times, but instead make it a “daemon”, via upstart. The code is simple; in /etc/init, create a file bfgminer.conf file with the following content:…read more
