  <p>After it was up and running I discovered the /var/lib/jenkins partition on my server is very small.  I want to move it, but I do not want to change the user that it runs under.  I am new to Linux and I'm stumped.  How do I move it for example to my Home/Public folder?  The "Jenkins" user doesn't seem to have a Home folder.  Its running as a daemon on startup, so I have no idea where to configure those settings.
  Can I create a Home folder for the Jenkins user? How?</p>
  
  <p>I read this article: </p>

  <p>but do not understand HOW to "set the new Jenkins home".  I have used the export command, and restarted the service, but the old path still shows up in the Manage Jenkins screens.</p>
  
  <p>I've read the 2-3 similar questions on stackoverflow also, but there's always a big missing piece for me.  Where to find that file where I change the path permanently?</p>
