Feature Overview

Deployment List

Deployment Records

Data Branches

Basic Settings

1. Deployment List

Displays connection information for each deployment.

1) Add Connection (Deploy JAR)

Click the Add button, provide the local project path, JAR name, and pom.xml. The tool auto‑generates the display text based on the provided path.

Ensure the local project path, JAR name, and pom.xml are correct.

2) Server Information

Enter server IP, account, password, and port. The upload path should not end with a trailing slash ( /).

Example upload command generated for /home/springboot:

nohup java -jar /home/springboot/wall.jar & tailf /home/springboot/nohup.out

You can modify the command as needed.

3) Deploy JAR

Click the Deploy button; the backend returns real‑time deployment messages displayed on the front end.

4) Deploy Success

Successful deployment returns the message Successfully deployed.

5) Delete / Edit

Records can be deleted directly from the table, and entries can be edited.

2. Deployment Records

Shows recent deployment history and statistics.

3. Data Branches

easy-jenkins is branch‑oriented; each branch stores its own connections. The default branch is jenkins. You can create new branches, switch between them, and view branch‑specific data.

4. Basic Settings

Installation Path

Maven Path

Project Port

These values are set during the first installation and can be edited later.

5. Startup

First launch runs the installation wizard.

Subsequent launches open the browser directly.

6. Deploying Vue Projects

The Vue build output directory is dist. The upload path should match the local name without a trailing slash.

7. Executable Launch

The easy-jenkins.exe file can be copied to the desktop and run directly, avoiding the need to start the Spring Boot process each time.

Conclusion

easy-jenkins is a lightweight, one‑click deployment tool suitable for personal or small‑scale projects, offering simple operation, real‑time logs, and branch‑based configuration management.
