By default Jenkins will start on port 8080.
If you want to start Jenkins on other port use –httpport=portNumber
Example:
java -jar jenkins.war --httpPort=9000This will start Jenkins on port 9000.

Quick way to add swap – Ubuntu
One of the quickest way to avoid out of memory errors is by adding some swap space. Swap is an area on hard drive where operating system can temporally store data that it can no longer hold in RAM.
Use following way to add additional swap space in Ubuntu:
First check about swap space with free command:
free -m
Lets say if we need 10GB of swap, for this first create a 10GB file with following command:
sudo fallocate -l 10G /swapfile
View details about created swapfile:
ls -hl /swapfile
Output:
-rw-r–r– 1 root root 10G May 19 06:54 /swapfile
Change permissions of swapfile:
sudo chmod 600 /swapfile
Set swap space with following command:
sudo mkswap /swapfile
Check for new swap space:
sudo swapon -s
Output:
Filename Type Size Used Priority
/swapfile file 10485756 2700 -2
Make swap file permanent by adding it in /etc/fstab
/swapfile none swap sw 0 0

Get Thread and Heap dump – Java
Thread and Heap dumps are useful for debugging any Java programme.
To get thread dump:
By using jstack command we can get thread dump of a Java process.
Example:
$ jstack PID
where PID is Java process id for which we want to get thread dump.
To get heap dump:
By using jmap command we can get heap dump of a Java process.
Exmaple:
$ jmap -heap PID
where PID is Java process id for which we want to get heap dump.

ping ip with port
Ports are a concept of UDP and TCP. Ping messages are technically referred to as ICMP Echo Request and ICMP Echo Reply which are part of ICMP. ICMP, TCP, and UDP are “siblings”; they are not based on each other, but are three separate protocols that run on top of IP.
Therefore you can not ping a port. What you can do, is use a port scanner like nmap and check if ip/host and port are accessible.
$ nmap -p 80 www.google.com
Output:
Starting Nmap 6.40 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2015-12-02 14:38 IST
Nmap scan report for http://www.google.com (74.125.200.106)

You can also use telnet onofri.org 80

Lighttpd both http and https
We can configure both http & https on lighttpd webserver.
Use following configuration to serve both http & https requests:
server.document-root = "/var/www"
server.upload-dirs = ( "/var/cache/lighttpd/uploads" )
accesslog.filename = "/var/log/lighttpd/access.log"
server.errorlog = "/var/log/lighttpd/error.log"
server.pid-file = "/var/run/lighttpd.pid"
server.username = "www-data"
server.groupname = "www-data"
server.port = 80
#Configuration for https
$SERVER["socket"] == ":443" {
ssl.engine = "enable"
ssl.pemfile = "/etc/lighttpd/certs/www.example.com.pem"
}
In above configuration http://www.example.com.pem file should contain both the private key and the certificate.
After updating lighttpd.conf file restart lighttpd:
$ service lighttpd restart
After restarting both http & https should work for your host.
iptables start on boot – Ubuntu/Debian
By default Ubuntu/Debian OS wont load iptable on boot.
So to load iptables on boot use follow procedure:
Save iptable conf with iptables-save command:
iptables-save > /etc/iptables.conf
Next, open file with name /etc/network/if-up.d/iptables and add following content:
#!/bin/sh iptables-restore < /etc/iptables.conf
Change permission file /etc/network/if-up.d/iptables as executable with following command:
chmod +x /etc/network/if-up.d/iptables
Now, iptables will restored on boot.
Whenever you change iptable rules don’t forgot to update iptables.conf file. Use following command to update iptables.conf file:
iptables-save > /etc/iptables.conf
Crontab Hack – run every 5th, 15th, 25th … mins

Python – ImportError: No module named memcache
While trying to connect memcached using python I got following error:
ImportError: No module named memcache
Since I imported memcache & it’s not available in my server I got the error message saying that “No module named memcache”.
To resolve this issue we need to install python-memcache module.
Use following command to install python-memcache:
$ pip install python-memcache
If your OS is Ubuntu/Debian following command also works for you:
$ apt-get install python-memcache
After installing python-memcache we can seamlessly connect to memcached.
Ubuntu desktop change nameservers permanently
To change nameservers permanently in Ubuntu Desktop Version we need to update /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head file with desired list.
Following is the procedure to change nameservers permanently:
Open /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head file with your favourite editor:
sudo vim /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head
Add following lines to /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head, save & exit from the file
nameserver 4.2.2.2 nameserver 208.67.222.222
Run following command to change nameservers permanently:
sudo resolvconf -u
After running above commands nameservers in your desktop version will get updated with new list as mentioned in /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head file.
To conform this open /etc/resolve.conf and validate.
