Hey! Thanks for the info! This doesn't sound like it'll be too bad after all. I'll give this a shot on monday. But THANK YOU because I am a lot more confident in this task knowing this. However I imagine that downloading to my laptop and scp'ing it up will be just as ok to do. As this is a 'private cloud' machine that I have no physical access to. Maybe I should've mentioned that as well. To clarify, are you referring to a host firewall (e.g. single Linux system > with restrictive iptables) that doesn't allow incoming connections, or a > network firewall/proxy/NAT? > If the latter, some Jenkins features (anonymous usage reports, automatic > tool installers, update center, possibly some plugins) require outgoing > connections, but Jenkins is perfectly capable of running in a closed-off > network. It's actually the later. It's an F5 acting as both a firewall and load balancer. Tho we won't need the load balancing capabilities for Jenkins. So if I read you correctly, we should be OK with outgoing, but no incoming access to run it. And to install it, the java -jar method should be fine?!?
