Jenkins migration

[Adrien Ruffié]

Hello all,

 

I have a Jenkins ver. 1.480.1 and I want to migrate to 1.580.2

 

My question is, I have my Jenkins over /var/lib/Jenkins (is not a war) how I can migrate to the last 1.580.2 version without loose all my jobs, installed plugins (on the old Jenkins) and keep all system configuration like JDK, GIT, ANT, Maven, … ?

 

Thank you very much and best regards.

If you're running on Debian (or Ubuntu) and installed using the Debian archive, you can use apt (apt-get, aptitude) to perform the update.  It will retain system configuration and job definitions.

Since that is a large jump (almost two years of development has happened since 1.480 was released), you should expect some issues, bumps, and even bruises during the upgrade.  You should probably perform a full backup before the upgrade.

Alternately, you could copy files from your production Jenkins to another machine, then run the upgrade on that other machine.
