Jenkins configuration spans controller settings, plugins, credentials, and pipeline-as-code definitions.
- Jenkins home:
/var/lib/jenkins/
- Main XML config:
/var/lib/jenkins/config.xml
- Credentials and jobs:
/var/lib/jenkins/credentials.xml, /var/lib/jenkins/jobs/
- Optional JCasC file: for example
/var/lib/jenkins/jenkins.yaml
- Controller URL and security realm
- Authorization strategy and role mapping
- Agent definitions and labels
- Tool installations (JDK, Maven, Node.js, etc.)
- Plugin set pinning and update policy
For file or plugin changes:
sudo systemctl restart jenkins
For JCasC-managed deployments, reload configuration from the Jenkins UI/API after updating YAML.
- Verify admin login and RBAC behavior
- Run a test pipeline from
Jenkinsfile
- Confirm agent assignment and artifact archiving
