How to use proxy socks with Jenkins

[donovan.b...@gmail.com]

Hi, i have installed Jenkins inside our corporate network. I would like to SSH to Github to pull down code but i can't work out how to configure Jenkins to use socks proxy 5 instead of a normal http proxy. We can only SSH outside if we use a socks proxy. Is it a system wide change or a change we need to make in Jenkins?

It should work if you use the regular Java proxy properties:
https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/JenkinsBehindProxy

i.e. "socksProxyHost" and co:
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/net/doc-files/net-properties.html

Thanks but where do you specify the socks proxy settings? Can this be added to the jenkins startup script? I have tried but the process doesn't start so i am clearly putting it in the wrong place. Has anyone got this successfully working?

From the example on the wiki page, you add them as Java options:

java -D<proxy-option> -D<another-proxy-option> -jar jenkins.war


You don't mention which OS or Jenkins package you're using, or how you
modified the startup script, so it's hard to give specific info.

But on Debian, you would modify JAVA_ARGS in /etc/default/jenkins, and
JENKINS_JAVA_OPTIONS in /etc/sysconfig/jenkins for the RPM package.

There's some more info to be found on the wiki here:
