Installing Hudson-3.3.3 CI Server in Ubuntu-16.04 LTS

Hi, in this post we are going to see how to install Hudson Continuous Integration Server in ubuntu.

The following are the required soft wares need  to have a successful installation

1. java-1.6 or greater
2. hudson-3.3.3.war

We are going to use the WAR package of hudson to have the server up and running

Since most of us know how to install java, I am not going to talk about installing it, you can check online resources(plenty available) on how to install the same.

Let us download the hudson-3.3.3.war file from the location given below

https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/hudson/war/hudson-3.3.3.war

Make sure you have the downloaded package in a location you prefer.

Open a terminal and execute the command below to have your server up and running

> java -jar <location-of-hudson-3.3.3.war>/hudson-3.3.3.war

When the server is ready to serve... you should be able to see console as something below...

After executing the above command, Open a browser and on the address bar type the location as below...

http://localhost:8080/

Now your browser would have you at the page as given below...

Well this concludes the installation of hudson-3.3.3 CI server... hope you like it

thanks.
