This Jenkins instance appears to be offline.
For information about installing Jenkins without an internet connection, see the Offline Jenkins Installation Documentation.

You may choose to continue by configuring a proxy or skipping plugin installation.

Solution

In my case, it has something to do with SSL. I manage to fix it by editing /Users/Shared/Jenkins//Home/hudson.model.UpdateCenter.xml and change url to use “http” instead of “https”.

you can also use the available url:

Restart jenkins and reload the website, it no longer shows offline.
