We took a punt and tried manually installing the `daemonize` package but the service didn't appear to even attempt to start (looking at /var/log/jenkins/*).   curl -LO 'https: //rpmfind.net/linux/epel/7/x86_64/Packages/d/daemonize-1.7.7-1.el7.x86_64.rpm' sudo rpm -Uvh ./daemonize-1.7.7-1.el7.x86_64.rpm

Mark Waite added a comment - 2021-08-13 12:42 The dependency is expressed in the rpm file, but the dependency is satisfied with the daemonize program from the `epel-release` repository. The installation instructions on www.jenkins.io have been updated to guide the user to enable the epel-release repository. When I enabled the epel-release repository and performed the install, the service started.

Mark Waite added a comment - 2021-08-13 13:10 I believe I used the Red Hat / CentOS instructions with Amazon Linux 2 yesterday while testing, but I don't have an Amazon Linux 1 instance. I'll need to double check to be sure. Maybe the directions at https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/ec2-enable-epel/ will help?

Robert Golden added a comment - 2021-08-13 14:15 Thanks all for your help! I was able to satisfy the daemonize dependency by enabling the EPEL repo on Amazon Linux. amazon-linux-extras install epel -y yum update -y
