when i try to install jenkins using ansible on my cent-os machine using yum command its taking so much time to install jenkins and its failing because of timeout

 

 

steps to reproduce: 

 

when you download jenkins using following method then you will get /etc/yum.repos.d/jenkins.repo file 

• name: Download jenkins repository
  get_url:
  url: http://pkg.jenkins-ci.org/redhat-stable/jenkins.repo
  dest: /etc/yum.repos.d/jenkins.repo

 

 

inside /etc/yum.repos.d/jenkins.repo file   i see following content:

[jenkins]
name=Jenkins-stable
baseurl=http://pkg.jenkins.io/redhat-stable
gpgcheck=1

 

now when you install jenkins in centos using

 

$ yum install jenkins

 

then it will look into baseurl=http://pkg.jenkins.io/redhat-stable repo and connection is really slow here even my internet speed is fast. i see download package speed is 1-3 byte package per second.

 

 

 

Fix:

 

when you download url: http://pkg.jenkins-ci.org/redhat-stable/jenkins.repo then in /etc/yum.repos.d/jenkins.repo file it should be https 

 

so /etc/yum.repos.d/jenkins.repo will look like:

[jenkins]
name=Jenkins-stable
baseurl=https://pkg.jenkins.io/redhat-stable
gpgcheck=1

 

 

and you will get installation speed so fast. 

 

i think somebody intercepting network when you use http in base url. so please change it to https.
