It depends what you’re running Jenkins on, first of all, and how you installed it.

If you’re using Ubuntu or CentOS, most likely Jenkins is running as a systemd service. To change the port, you’ll need to edit the system file, by doing something like this:

  • Find the system file by reading the output of sudo systemctl status jenkins. On my Ubuntu virtual, this is at /usr/lib/systemd/system/jenkins.service.

  • Edit the file, and look in the file for the PORT setting.

    # Port to listen on for HTTP requests. Set to -1 to disable.
# To be able to listen on privileged ports (port numbers less than 1024),
# add the CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE capability to the AmbientCapabilities
# directive below.
Environment="JENKINS_PORT=8080"

  • Save the file after you change the setting, and run systemctl daemon-reload to tell systemd you make a change.

  • Restart jenkins with systemctl restart jenkins.
