We are currently provisioning a physical server as our automation server. We are making considerations as far as what our native operating system should be on this physical machine.
We are going to use a Linux OS as our operating system. From the Jenkins download page, https://jenkins.io/download/, I can see that Jenkins' package distribution is available to Red Hat / Fedora / CentOS (which we will not be using), as well as Ubuntu / Debian. I also notice that a Generic Java package (WAR) distribution is available. Am I correct in assuming that if we use a non-Ubuntu / non-Debian operating system, we can still install Jenkins via the WAR distribution without issue? Are we relegated to using Debian / Ubuntu if we're going to install Jenkins on a Linux machine (with the possibility of Red Hat / Fedora / CentOS ruled out)? Thanks for any guidance from anybody who may have experience installing / maintaining a Jenkins instance on a Linux machine! - Jason -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Users" group.
