I will do the basic steps for installation. I will make another document or add to this document for more advanced stuff. I think docker images are more meant for advanced users since you know how it works, do you can use it easily. Lets first start as this is your first exposure. We will use ubuntu.

Setup and Install

      curl -fsSL https://pkg.jenkins.io/debian-stable/jenkins.io.key | sudo tee \
      /usr/share/keyrings/jenkins-keyring.asc > /dev/null

      echo deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/jenkins-keyring.asc] \
      https://pkg.jenkins.io/debian-stable binary/ | sudo tee \
      /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jenkins.list > /dev/null

      apt-get update
      apt-get -y install jenkins
      apt-get -y  install openjdk-11-jdk
      
      # Note this password
      cat /var/lib/jenkins/secrets/initialAdminPassword

Go to your browser and use this password to start. My example : http://192.168.1.6:8080/ -- your computer will have a different ip address.
Select install suggested plugins. I will later install more like the ssh plugin.
Create a administrator account when the plugins are done.
Redo the install plugins if there were any errors. We can come back later and work on the plugins.
It will wask for the default url for jenkins. You should not need to change it. Save it.
Click on "Start using Jenkins".

First Project

Login to the main jenkinds page.
Click on "Create a job"
Enter "First"
Under the next menu, skip most of it and go to "Build" and select "Execute shell".
Under the box "Command" enter the following and save:
```
      pwd
      ls -al
```
Click "Build Now" from the lest hand menu.
You can follow the instructions in the webpage in the link to see the results and such.

You can created your first job and ran it.

Now we want to interact with a MySQL server.
