To Create Freestyle project/job in Jenkin

Introduction of Jenkins

Jenkins is an open-source automation tool written in Java with plugins designed for Continuous Integration. Jenkins builds and tests your software projects continuously, making it easier for developers to integrate changes to the project and for users to get a fresh build. The tool also enables you to continuously deliver your applications.

    inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 ::1/128 scope host 
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
2: ens33: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 00:0c:29:b8:f7:db brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 192.168.6.122/23 brd 192.168.7.255 scope global noprefixroute ens33
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
