Jenkins Migration from OS?

[Kavitha Bhaskaran]

Hello There:

Not sure if this is possible but is it possible to migrate Jenkins from one OS to another. Lets say I have Jenkins right now on RHEL and I would like to move it to CentOS. Is there a way to do it?

[Les Mikesell]

There's next-to-no difference between RHEL and CentOS. Pretty much
any backup/restore strategy should work - or just rsync'ing the
jenkins home directory to the new system.

Ok. 2 more questions

1. How about between Scientific Linux and RHEL?
2. So you are saying, I can strip just the Jenkins setting from say Scientific Linux and add it to RHEL?

I've known people to move between Linux and windows just by moving their JENKINS_HOME (though in that case there is some symlink fun and you'd probably want to do a dry-run)

Likewise, almost identical. CentOS and Scientific Linux are rebuilds
from the RHEL sources. But since jenkins is java you should be able
to move across even more different platforms if you wanted.

Yes, I'd probably do a new install with the rpm package, then change
any settings you need in /etc/sysconfig/jenkins (probably unique to
the rpm packaged version) and copy over the JENKINS_HOME contents.
