Getting started with Apache Jenkins.
Looking at the windows version of Apache Jenkins, as it installs, it seems to run on a particular web page over port 8080. Does it include an http server as part of that install too?
Is the same true for the Linux install?
Also, some of the related questions around the use of Jenkins mention http server – what’s the particular reasons for installing a separate http server – is for security/authentication/control?
Thanks
It comes with a bultin server but that’s not really designed for production traffic. If your server is public facing, it’s probably a good idea to treat it as an app server and put a real http server in front that proxies this.
