I need to install jenkins in a custom directory in ubuntu. Is it possible, if yes then how?

Thanks & Regards,

Download the war file and place it where ever you want. Downside, automatic updates are no-go.

Hmm Ok. Basically I basically wanted the JENKINS_HOME directory to be different and mounted on a bigger hard drive. So I did a default install of jenkins, with updates everything working then changed the JENKINS_HOME directory the the newly mounted "bigger" hard drive. The file that I changed is /etc/default/jenkins.

Also I changed the ownership of new JENKINS_HOME to be the jenkins user.
