Possible to Change Jenkins URL? : http://localhost:8080

Question

Possible to Change Jenkins URL? : http://localhost:8080

1. Currently I have jenkins setup on a virtual machine.
2. Is it possible to setup Jenkins on a URL which is more is accessible for other users?
3. For example I dont want other users to access test results by connecting to the Virtual machine instead I want them to access a URL from their own device in turn enabling them to login and see test results via jenkins.

thanks for you help

Let's say IP of your virtual machine is 192.168.x.x.

Open the Port 8080 via firewall and then change the URL of jenkins from "Manage Jenkins >>Config Sys >> Jenkins Location>" to "http://192.168.x.x:8080"

Now you can access it from other machine on same network domain.Just have to hit the url http://192.168.x.x:8080

You can now create different users with different privileges for the same.

You can find it under Manage Jenkins >> Manage Users >> Create Users.

It is related to networking. The machines should be on the same network, so they can talk to each other (unless you have public IP).

The ONLY rule to give access is, that machines can talk to each other (of course, in their language, 0's & 1's).

I suggest following things to do to share the URL:

1. Ask the users to connect to the same network that your machine is in.
2. Verify whether they are able to PING your machine IP (get it from ipconfig command for windows - router assigns IP for your machine, that starts with 192.168 or 10.10). command example: ping 10.10.1.10
3. If any issues in Ping, it might be Windows Firewall or Anti-virus which might be blocking, so allow the IPs in your firewall so they can access your machine.
4. Then ask them to access Jenkins using the following URL http://[IP of your machine:8080]

I tried these steps all passed except i cannot access my http://[IP of your machine:8080] even on the same machine any other machines. They are in the same network and i am able to ping it as well. Also, i see this error on jenkins - It appears that your reverse proxy set up is broken. – Jewry

We want the Jenkins web interface to be accessible from anywhere (not just on the local machine), so we’re going to open up the config file:

sudo nano /usr/local/opt/jenkins-lts/homebrew.mxcl.jenkins-lts.plist

Find this line:

<string>--httpListenAddress=127.0.0.1</string>

And change it to:

<string>--httpListenAddress=0.0.0.0</string>
