[FIXED] How to install Jenkins on Windows Home

Issue

When I try give my account to Jenkins for it being able to login the error pops out. I've researched it a bit and it seems that the problem is that I have Windows Home. Is there any way to run it on my os?

Solution

It is possible to run Jenkins using Docker since Docker uses WSL. Download installation file named "Docker" by this link:

https://www.jenkins.io/download/

Then run our container:

docker run -d -p 8080:8080 -p 50000:50000 --name my_jenkins jenkins/jenkins

After running the container in your browser go to:

localhost:8080

Then to unlock Jenkins use this command and enter into Jenkins output that looks something like this "d7383b6a8d7149cc87d481c7ddb9412d":

docker exec my_jenkins cat /var/jenkins_home/secrets/initialAdminPassword

After that configurating steps are fairly easy.
