I am trying to copy my Jenkins from 1 Centos machine to another. I am trying to Zip the entire Jenkins folder and Unzip it in the another machine.

When I try to start Jenkins in the new machine, I get the following error

Unit jenkins.service could not be found.

Is it mandatory that we have to install Jenkins in each machine? Can we not copy the folder and start Jenkins in the new machine?

Just because the Jenkins home directory exists does not mean the Jenkins service is installed

Run the following:

wget -O /etc/yum.repos.d/jenkins.repo http://pkg.jenkins-ci.org/redhat-stable/jenkins.repo && \ rpm --import https://jenkins-ci.org/redhat/jenkins-ci.org.key && \ yum install -y java-1.8.0-openjdk-devel jenkins && \ yum clean all && \ systemctl enable jenkins && \ systemctl start jenkins
