In my experience, I have been having a miserable time with Jenkins on RHEL, where I have to either restart it or reboot the machine at least once a day. We had to move off of Ubuntu in order for our IT to support us, but are seriously considering moving back. I have run Jenkins on Ubuntu at several companies previously with no major issues, but I generally stick to the LTS version.

All this information has been extremely helpful. If anybody else has any experience with any other flavors of Linux, please let me know what your experiences are.

It's similar to a Java JAR file, you "execute" the WAR file to run Jenkins. You can run the WAR on any OS that has Java simply by doing java -jar PATH/TO/jenkins.war. There are some command line options you can provide, but in general you are just running the WAR file.

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? • If we are not able to install via WAR 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)? It should probably be noted that we will likely install / upgrade on the Jenkins LTS release schedule<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__jenkins.io_changelog-2Dstable_&d=DwMFaQ&c=zU8zY2zCUszYt_I-pOyd_mv7l16V_LqUcVo_CQ1Hrvg&r=_uOhtWXGDLGjSMUCHKzlpT-qRgk-CxQbvJI8tBN5qYM&m=fwADl0WcXOuL8XICJKwEDYFZaBmilVu0H6K9c1JSt78&s=VkjV_h8B7Ryo9F1JBXeYMih9cOvMr9hl6Xah_Uke2wI&e=>.
