I have GitLab installed on same server which is using port “8080”, can I change port to 9090 to this /usr/lib/systemd/system/jenkins.service file ? # Port to listen on for HTTP requests. Set to -1 to disable. # To be able to listen on privileged ports (port numbers less than 1024), # add the CAP\_NET\_BIND\_SERVICE capability to the AmbientCapabilities # directive below. Environment=“JENKINS\_PORT=9090” Is there any other jenkins configuration files need to update port ? Thank you for the help ---

Thank you MarkEWaite. 1. made change in /usr/lib/systemd/system/jenkins.service: Environment=“JENKINS\_PORT=9090”, same failed 2. Google search asked to make change in **/etc/default/jenkins** , could find the path, the jenkins file doesn’t exist 3.

> [@hollychen](#): > > Caused by: java.io.IOException: Failed to bind to 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0:8080 The port Jenkins uses can be changed with `systemctl edit jenkins` as described in [“Overriding service configurations”](https://www.jenkins.io/doc/book/system-administration/systemd-services/#overriding-service-configurations). It should be changed in the override file that the `systemctl edit jenkins` command creates. That file might look like this: ```auto [Unit] Description=Jenkins on port 9090 [Service] # Port to listen on for HTTP requests. Set to -1 to disable. # To be able to listen on privileged ports (port numbers less than 1024), # add the CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE capability to the AmbientCapabilities # directive below. Environment="JENKINS_PORT=9090" ``` Note that the `[SERVICE]` line in the definition is mandatory. Without it, systemd will ignore the settings. A video is also available that describes how to manage services with `systemd`.

When `systemctl edit jenkins` opens, it uses the system configured editor. When the file is saved from that system configured editor, the configuration is saved and `systemd` reloads the configuration. If using `vi`, then the exit command is `:wq` ---
