    in LFS261 Class Forum

    Hi, i am currently on the chapter 6: DEVOPS AND SRE FUNDAMENTALS: IMPLEMENTING CONTINUOUS DELIVERY (LFS261)

    Video: Integrating GitHub with Jenkins to Setup Webhook-Based Triggers

    The instructor shows us how to add a github hook.
    The problem is that the instructor does not inform us in the video how to create the ip address for your jenkins so i can add it to the github.

    My jenkins runs on localhost

    i have tried:
    - using the println InetAddress.localHost but the address did not work. When i tried
    curl the address it gives 173.1x.x.x:8080. it did not work
    Is there any way where i can resolve this issue

    Please help me

      Hi @davidboadu ,

      The problem is that the instructor does not inform us in the video how to create the ip address for your jenkins so i can add it to the github.

      In the case of the video, the IP of the Jenkins server is a public IP, so you should be able to see it from your cloud or internet provider. If yours is a private IP behind a firewall/router, it won't work as expected, and you need to do some extra work, as described here:

      I hope that helps,
      Luis.
