Where is “Jenkins URL” configuration stored?

I'm trying to set up a non-default URL as part of a puppet script that installs Jenkins. I know how to edit the value via the web UI but I can't seem to find where the value is actually stored. I've looked through the jenkins_home folder and apache and have yet to find it.

The correct place to change this is <yourjenkins>/configure. Look for "Jenkins URL". https://mcmap.net/q/446255/-jenkins-website-root-path – Foliolate 31/3, 2014 at 18:14

It stores it in a rather unlikely place: hudson.tasks.Mailer.xml in Jenkins home folder.

In case someone runs into this nowadays, it's jenkins.model.JenkinsLocationConfiguration.xml in recent versions – Ignatz 10/4, 2014 at 13:17

do you guys know if changing the URL in that file should actually change the URL for Jenkins? Or must it be changed from the management console? – Jongjongleur 5/9, 2018 at 10:46

I'm on Jenkins 2.68 and it's stored at jenkins.model.JenkinsLocationConfiguration.xml under the Jenkins home folder.

If you don't find the URL when grepping Jenkins home, it's because you didn't saved the configuration. If not set, Jenkins fallback to request URL, without saving it on disk.

root@jenkins-dev:/var/lib/jenkins# grep jenkinsUrl *.xml
jenkins.model.JenkinsLocationConfiguration.xml:  <jenkinsUrl>http://jenkins-dev.lxc/</jenkinsUrl>
root@jenkins-dev:/var/lib/jenkins#

Jenkins home directory in mac (installed with homebrew) is ~/.jenkins – Cyanotype 16/4, 2019 at 15:12

The url can be found in the UI/web app under configuration > Jenkins Location; alternatively, login to your server and cat the contents at this location: var/lib/jenkins/jenkins.model.JenkinsLocationConfiguration.xml

Right. I'm aware of that file but as far as I can tell the URL value isn't stored in it. – Schreck 31/7, 2012 at 14:17

I did a grep for "http" in my Jenkins root directory led me to hudson.model.UpdateCenter.xml

I'm using Jenkins version 1.462
