Error cloning/fetching a git repository through SSH about docker HOT 6 CLOSED

Hrm good question - /var/lib/jenkins must be being set by the packaged version of jenkins - totally didn't see that.

We could also use /var/lib/jenkins for storage and not set it up - update docs etc? (would that upset people?). I wanted to make it convenient to override the path - but if the convention is to use var lib- so be it?

The jenkins user is currently setup by the LTS packaging (which has other issues - ie you can't just update to a minor point release that way - you would have to install the deb explicitly...) - could the HOME be set after anyway?

Don't mess with plugin - what would you prefer? Send me a suggested dockerfile that works for you!

SOmething like:

usermod -m -d /var_jenkins_home jenkins

run as root - does that help? (sorry not able to test right now)

from docker.

hrm... I am confused. Setting the jenkins_home should be completely normal -no need for it to be related to the user home.

Can you tell me what is wrong with the credentials plugin?

Hey! Thanks for answering.

I'm going to try with the usermod -m -d /var/jenkins_home jenkins

And about the credentials plugin it was another option. I'm going to try!

Thank you!

Great news, the usermod instruction really helps! ❤️

OK will take discussion to the PR. Thanks!
