Hi@akhtar,

You can change the port no from the Jenkins file. Follow the below-given steps.

1. Go to /etc/default folder --> Open the file "Jenkins".

2. Modify the line HTTP_PORT=8080 as HTTP_PORT=80.

3. Start Jenkins as root by using the command: sudo /etc/init.d/jenkins start.

4. Open a browser and browse as localhost:80.
