Jenkins on Synology Disk Station

This little guide shows you how to set up a Jenkins server on your Synology Disk Station. It is assumed, that you already connected to your Disk Station via SSH and have a favorite text editor.

• Create User jenkins Watch out: 145 is just a unused ID - may has to be changed

• /etc/password:

  jenkins:x:145:145:Jenkins:/var/lib/jenkins:/bin/sh

• /etc/shadow:

  jenkins:*:10933:0:99999:7:::

• /etc/group:

  jenkins:x:145:jenkins

• Create Jenkins directory / home

  mkdir /opt/jenkins/ 

• Optional: Symlink in /var

  ln -s /opt/jenkins /var/lib/jenkins/

• Allow Jenkins to modify its home

  cd /opt
  chown jenkins:jenkins jenkins

• Download latest Jenkins

  cd /opt/jenkins
  wget http://mirrors.jenkins-ci.org/war/latest/jenkins.war

• Copy jenkins.sh to /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ don't forget chmod +x
• Link into autostart (this step does not work propper - you might have to start the jenkins manually after every boot).

  ln -s /usr/local/etc/rc.d/jenkins.sh /usr/syno/etc/rc.d/S999jenkins.sh

Your Jenkins server is now up and running on the port 8080 of your NAS. Have fun.
