thanks a lot for details. I was told that one jenkins installation must be configured as master OR slave.
When I read your post, it seems that it is possible to configure a slave on the same machine without installing another Jenkins installation and configure it as a slave: one jenkins installation could be configured as a master and also be used to configure other slaves ? right ? 2015-10-09 23:51 GMT+02:00 Mark Waite <mark.earl.wa...@gmail.com>: > I can confirm that it is possible to have a master and a slave on the same > Linux machine where the master runs as one user and the slave runs as > another user. > > It is atypical because most Jenkins users don't need a specific user to > execute their build steps.
