By default Jenkins is running on port 8080.
Next, open your browser and type IP of the host plus port 8080 to continue the installation.
Past the password required and proceed to install the recommended plugins.
After installation is finished you can continue as admin or create a new user. Also, you will be required to set up the Jenkins URL, which can also be added later. When these steps are ready you should see Jenkins first page.
At this point, the Jenkins server is running and you can start using it. Check our posts on how to add an agent, create pipelines, configure, and install other plugins and best practices to implement.
Have fun exploring this tool.
