jenkins (winstone) can load arguments from a config file in addition to the command line (--config). https://github.com/jenkinsci/winstone#configuration-file
so you can (should be able) to put the password in that file. Now if you put the password in that file and make it read only by the jenkins user you have not really gained anything over using a passwordless key/certificate file that is read only by the jenkins user... (allthough I guess you could hack the systemd command to write the file before startup, pass the argument and then wait until Jenkins has started and remove the file, then only root has access normally to the password in the systemd configuration) /James On Wed, 14 Sept 2022 at 17:35, John Horne <jhtree...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thanks for that.
