I am trying to get jenkins to use HTTPS, but whenever https is enabled, jenkins fails to bind to port 8080. I don’t know why it is trying to bind to 8080 as neither the http or https port is set to 8080. There is also nothing using port 8080 when I launch jenkins. The only settings changed using systemctl are : [Service] Environment=“JENKINS\_PORT=8078” Environment=“JENKINS\_HTTPS\_PORT=8443” When I comment out the second change, it works fine and jenkins is running on 8078 and nothing on 8080. There is also nothing running on 8443.

Refer to the [reverse proxy setup instructions](https://www.jenkins.io/doc/book/system-administration/reverse-proxy-configuration-with-jenkins/reverse-proxy-configuration-nginx/) and the video from Darin Pope. It is much easier to configure HTTPS on the reverse proxy than to configure HTTPS on Jenkins directly.
