Save the installed plugins as a text

[Masaru Tsuchiyama]

Hi

Is there any way to save the information of the installed plugins
as a text, and restore the plugins from the information.

By saving jpi files, it is possible to save and restore the installed
plugins.

But I want to add the information to git repository.
So the information should be a text file.

Regards.
Masaru.

 There are different approaches already explained in the Stacktrace:

• https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9815273/how-to-get-a-list-of-installed-jenkins-plugins-with-name-and-version-pair

Regarding the second question, I'd rather suggest to use any Configuration management tools, such as Puppet, Chef, Ansible... or Docker, there are plenty of examples about it, look at the docker one:

• https://hub.docker.com/_/jenkins/
• Mark Waite got a great docker git repo : https://github.com/MarkEWaite/docker-lfs/tree/lts-with-plugins

Here is the Groovy script that I use to create an install script (using Jenkins CLI) of the plugins on the server . 

You can also modify it if you just want to get the list of your plugins (and their versions)

I have found this useful for cloning the plugins of one server to another. Hope it helps.

import jenkins.model.*;

  def destinationServer='jenkinsDestinationServer' //modify this for you destination server

  def plugins = jenkins.model.Jenkins.instance.getPluginManager().getPlugins()

  def pluginMap=[:]

  def installBuffer=new StringBuffer()

  def url= jenkins.model.Jenkins.instance.getRootUrl()

  

plugins.each {

    println "${it.getShortName()} \n\tversion ${it.getVersion()} \n\t${it.getLongName()}"

    pluginMap["${it.getShortName()}"]="${it.getLongName()}-${it.getVersion()}"

  }

pluginMap.sort().each{key,value->

 // println "$key \n\t $value"

  installBuffer.append(key)

  installBuffer.append(' ')

  

}

println "java -jar jenkins-cli.jar -s http://${destinationServer}:8080/ install-plugin ${installBuffer}"
