Install Temurin JDK

From CentOS/RHEL/Fedora Instructions:

• Create RPM repository

cat <<EOF > /etc/yum.repos.d/adoptium.repo
[Adoptium]
name=Adoptium
baseurl=https://packages.adoptium.net/artifactory/rpm/${DISTRIBUTION_NAME:-$(. /etc/os-release; echo $ID)}/\$releasever/\$basearch
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://packages.adoptium.net/artifactory/api/gpg/key/public
EOF

• Install Temurin 11 (this will fail)

  • dnf -y install temurin-11-jdk

• Modify /etc/yum.repos.d/adoptium.repo

  • change rocky/$releasever to rocky/8

• Install Temurin 11 (this will succeed)

  • dnf -y install temurin-11-jdk

Install Jenkins

From Jenkins Redhat Packages:

• Create RPM repository

  • wget -O /etc/yum.repos.d/jenkins.repo https://pkg.jenkins.io/redhat-stable/jenkins.repo

• Add repository key

  • rpm --import https://pkg.jenkins.io/redhat-stable/jenkins.io.key

• Install Jenkins

  • dnf -y install jenkins

Configure Jenkins

• systemctl --full status jenkins
• systemctl edit jenkins

[Service]
Environment="JAVA_OPTS=-Djava.awt.headless=true -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -Djava.io.tmpdir=/var/cache/jenkins/tmp/ -Dorg.apache.commons.jelly.tags.fmt.timeZone=America/New_York -Duser.timezone=America/New_York"
Environment="JENKINS_OPTS=--pluginroot=/var/cache/jenkins/plugins"

• mkdir -p /var/cache/jenkins/tmp
• chown -R jenkins:jenkins /var/cache/jenkins/tmp
• systemctl show jenkins
• systemd-analyze verify jenkins.service
• systemctl start jenkins
• systemctl --full status jenkins
• journalctl -u jenkins

Thanks for catching that. Copy and paste strikes again.

Thanks for updating. I'm new to both Rocky and Jenkins (I use Ubuntu mostly so a switch from Debian to Red Hat is taking time!) and this was very useful.

Hello,
I am getting that error;

[root@localhost ~]# systemd-analyze verify jenkins.service
[root@localhost ~]# systemctl start jenkins
Job for jenkins.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status jenkins.service" and "journalctl -xeu jenkins.service" for details.

When I run recommended commands, outputs;

[root@localhost ~]# systemctl status jenkins.service
× jenkins.service - Jenkins Continuous Integration Server

and in case you would ask me, my java version is;

[root@localhost ~]# java -version
openjdk version "11.0.24" 2024-07-16
OpenJDK Runtime Environment Temurin-11.0.24+8 (build 11.0.24+8)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM Temurin-11.0.24+8 (build 11.0.24+8, mixed mode)

any help?

Edit: I solved myself, I forgot to do chown -R jenkins:jenkins /var/cache/jenkins/tmp
PS: For anyone out there, I solved by looking at the log file with journalctl -u jenkins.service --no-pager;
it outputs the error like this;

Exception in thread "main" java.io.UncheckedIOException: Jenkins failed to create a temporary file in /var/cache/jenkins/tmp/: java.io.IOException: No such file or directory

Long story short, do not forget to look log :)

Thanks.

I have this problem: I'm using OS Rocky 9 and Jenkins is running behind Nginx. I don't understand why it's not working.Please help me.
