How to configure Jenkins remotely?

Question

I have to configure Jenkins installed in Ubuntu server from my Mac machine through ssh. The jenkins is installed in the server with following commands as stated in

https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Installing+Jenkins+on+Ubuntu here.

wget -q -O - https://pkg.jenkins.io/debian/jenkins-ci.org.key | sudo  apt-key add -
sudo sh -c 'echo deb http://pkg.jenkins.io/debian-stable binary/ >   /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jenkins.list'
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install jenkins

And also jenkins was started using

service jenkins restart

Is there any way to configure Jenkins and work with from my mac?.

What kind of user privileges(for ubuntu server) I may need?

Do I need to Install jenkins CLI to configure remotely?

Please ask for clarification if anything needed to proceed.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Is your mac on the same network as your ubuntu server? If yes, you can type the url directly of your jenkins in your mac and login to the jenkins server.

if Jenkins is running on port 8080 and the ip of the ubuntu server is 10.10.0.3 you can access jenkins by typing http://10.10.0.3:8080 - you should be on the same network though.
