Issue
I'm new to devops. I want to install Jenkins in AWS EC2 with docker.
I have installed the Jenkins by this command:
docker run -p 8080:8080 -p 50000:50000 -d -v jenkins_home:/var/jenkins_home jenkins/jenkins:lts
On AWS security group, I have enabled port 8080 and 50000. I also enabled port 22 for SSH, 27017 for Mongo and 3000 for Node.
I can see the Jenkins container when I run docker ps
. However, when I run https://xxxx.us-east-2.compute.amazonaws.com:8080
, there is not a Jenkins window popup for Jenkins setting and display error, ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR.
Does someone know what's wrong here? Should I install Nginx
as well? I didn't install it yet.
Solution
The error is due to the fact that you are using https:
https://xxxx.us-east-2.compute.amazonaws.com:8080
From your description it does not seem that you've setup any type of ssl connection to your instance. So you should connect using http only:
http://xxxx.us-east-2.compute.amazonaws.com:8080
But this is not good practice as you communicate using plain text. A common solution is to access your jenkins web-ui through ssh tunnel. This way the connection is encrypted and you don't have to exposed any jenkins port in your security groups.
