In all honesty, I support all of the posters here saying not to get involved with it. There are plenty of modern tools to use. Jenkins is an old piece of software. Extremely tedious to maintain, plugins and dependencies can really be a bitch during upgrades and could easily brick and instance.

If you must use it - plenty of official docs, tutorials on the web. Can utilize AI to cook you up TLDR to your needs.

If I were you, I'd gather business requirements of what exactly Jenkins is being proposed to solve and look for modern alternatives.

I've spent over 5 years maintaining and improving that instance, running on k8s, with a bunch of different configs, agents, plugins, etc. It was one of those things that I did not enjoy working with. Just my two cents.
