    Jenkins - Hardened CI/CD Automation Server

    This product has charges associated with it for hardening, security configuration, and support. Jenkins is the leading open-source automation server for CI/CD, running the official Jenkins LTS line on OpenJDK 21 as a non-root service. Unlike bare Jenkins AMIs that bind port 8080 to all interfaces with no TLS, leave anonymous usage statistics on, and ship a shared instance identity, this Lynxroute build is hardened out of the box: the Jenkins controller is bound to loopback behind an nginx TLS perimeter on 443, each instance generates its own initial admin password for the setup wizard (you create your own admin), anonymous usage statistics are disabled, the JVM heap is auto-sized to the instance, no per-instance secrets are baked into the image, and the base is CIS Level 1 hardened Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. MIT license - fully auditable, no vendor lock-in. Jenkins is a registered trademark of LF Charities Inc.

    Overview

    This is a repackaged software product wherein additional charges apply for hardening, security configuration, and support.

    WHAT IS JENKINS

    Jenkins is the most widely deployed open-source automation server, the de facto standard for continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD). It is a Java application (a single WAR run on the JVM) that orchestrates building, testing, and deploying software through freestyle jobs and scripted or declarative Pipelines (Jenkinsfile). Its defining strength is an ecosystem of well over 1,800 community plugins, installed on demand from the Jenkins update center, covering source control (Git, GitHub, GitLab), build tools, containers, cloud providers, notifications, and credentials management. Jenkins supports distributed builds across agents, role-based access, and a rich REST API. This image ships the current Jenkins LTS line on OpenJDK 21 from the official Jenkins debian-stable repository, persisting all jobs and configuration under JENKINS_HOME on disk. MIT license, no vendor lock-in.

    WHAT THIS AMI ADDS

    Security hardening:

    • Jenkins controller bound to 127.0.0.1:8080 (loopback only); nginx terminates TLS on port 443 and reverse-proxies to it - port 8080 is never exposed
    • Each instance generates its own initial admin password at first boot, surfaced to /root/jenkins-credentials.txt (mode 600); you complete the setup wizard and create your own admin account - no shared admin is baked into the image
    • No per-instance secrets baked into the AMI - the Jenkins instance identity is regenerated on first launch
    • Anonymous usage statistics (telemetry) are disabled
    • JVM heap (-Xms/-Xmx) auto-sized to the instance RAM at first boot; temp directory kept off the noexec /tmp so builds run cleanly
    • Runs as a non-root jenkins system user with UMask 0027
    • certbot pre-installed - one command swaps the self-signed cert for a CA-signed one
    • UFW firewall pre-configured (only ports 22 and 443 open)
    • CVE scan - every image is scanned for vulnerabilities before release

    OS hardening (CIS Level 1):

    • CIS Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Level 1 benchmark applied via ansible-lockdown
    • auditd, fail2ban, AppArmor, SSH key-only, kernel hardening, IMDSv2 enforced

    Compliance artifacts:

    • SBOM - CycloneDX 1.6 at /etc/lynxroute/sbom.json
    • CIS Conformance Report at /etc/lynxroute/cis-report.html
    • CIS Tailored Profile at /usr/share/doc/lynxroute/CIS_TAILORED_PROFILE.md

    Highlights

    • Jenkins security baked in: the controller is bound to loopback behind an nginx TLS perimeter on 443, each instance generates its own initial admin password for the setup wizard (you create your own admin), anonymous usage statistics are disabled, and no per-instance secrets are baked in.
    • CIS Level 1 hardened Ubuntu 24.04 LTS: auditd, fail2ban, AppArmor, SSH key-only, IMDSv2 enforced. CVE-scanned before every release. SBOM (CycloneDX) and CIS Conformance Report included.
    • Official Jenkins LTS on OpenJDK 21: 1,800+ plugins via the update center, declarative and scripted Pipelines, distributed builds. MIT license - fully auditable, no vendor lock-in. Jenkins is a registered trademark of LF Charities Inc.

    Amazon Machine Image (AMI)

    An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.

    Version release notes

    Additional details

    Usage instructions

    1. Launch instance (t3.medium recommended; t3.small minimum)
    2. Open Security Group - allow TCP 443 from your IP
    3. SSH: ssh -i key.pem ubuntu@<PUBLIC_IP>
    4. Read the initial admin password: sudo cat /root/jenkins-credentials.txt
    5. Open https://<PUBLIC_IP>/ in your browser - accept the self-signed certificate warning. Jenkins shows the "Unlock Jenkins" page.
    6. Paste the initial administrator password from step 4 to unlock, then complete the setup wizard: choose "Install suggested plugins" (fetched from the Jenkins update center over the internet) and create YOUR first admin user.
    7. On the "Instance Configuration" step keep the Jenkins URL as https://<PUBLIC_IP>/ and finish.

    Jenkins is bound to 127.0.0.1:8080; nginx terminates TLS on port 443 and reverse-proxies to it. The initial admin password is generated uniquely per instance at first boot and saved to /root/jenkins-credentials.txt. The JVM heap is sized automatically from the instance RAM, and anonymous usage statistics are disabled.

    Restrict Security Group port 443 to your own IP until you have completed the setup wizard, so only you can claim the admin account.

    Replace the self-signed TLS certificate with a CA-signed certificate for production use: sudo certbot --nginx -d yourdomain.com
