Hello
I wanted to install a Jenkins agent on a windows server following the tutorial “How to Install Jenkins Agent on Windows” from CloudBeesTV.
However, it seems the suggested software WinSW is deprecated:
Are there any alternatives?
Any help would be appreciated! 
Did you follow the instructions from here?
It doesn’t mention WinSW there
That is for installing Jenkins on the controller, the person is asking for how to install the Jenkins AGENT as a service on a Windows system.
Just because there is no active maintainer for WinSW does not mean that it is deprecated. You should still be able to use it, there may just be some issues that you run into in different use cases. If your use case is simple, it will likely work for yo.
Procrun could perhaps be used instead, but I have not tried it with Jenkins. WinSW supports rolling log files but I don’t see a similar feature in the Procrun documentation so, one would have to configure some other component to delete old log files.
Thank you!
I was just unsure if there might be security issues when the last release is more than two years old.
I’ll might try installing it with WinSW and see if it works well.
Thank you, this looks very interesting. I will check this out.
I have installed it with WinSW for now since I am a beginner and the tutorial showed it this way. It works so far.
Maybe I will try to set it up with Procrun in the future.
