Jenkins Workspace

Updated May 13, 2020 ·

Jenkins Directory​

When Jenkins runs a job that involves working with files or repositories, it stores them within a designated workspace directory on the Jenkins server. This workspace is unique to each job and located within the Jenkins home directory, following a structure like:

<JENKINS_HOME>/workspace/<job_name>/

In this path:

  • <JENKINS_HOME>- the main Jenkins home directory
  • workspace - the subdirectory containing workspaces for all jobs
  • <job_name> - the specific job's name

In the Jenkins server (where Jenkins is installed), you can check this directory:

/var/lib/jenkins

Workspace​

The specific workspaces can be found here:

/var/lib/jenkins/workspace

Jobs​

The jobs are stored in this directory:

/var/lib/jenkins/jobs
