Yes , thanks that’s what I did : tar’ed the plugins directory of the current Master , and untarred it in the JENKINS_HOME of the replacement master .
Worked fine ; but I still went through comparing each plugin and versions on both ( had to unpin a few and upgrade a few ) .

Take a look at the file system for the origin jenkins... I'm fairly confident you'll see the hpi (jenkins plugin package) files there. I'm not 100% sure but if you copy those files to the same location on the new jenkins and restart that should work...

On the new master , I want the same plugins which are there on the current one ( The versions of course would be different ie whatever is the latest ) The manual way is to open the ‘manage plugin’ window in the old and new servers , search one at a time in the new server and checkmark it and then install . Am contemplating if I copy over the old plugins directory contents onto the new server and restart and then choose the new versions available , would that work smoothly and be a better way to do it ? Is there any other simplified way to do this ? ( Would be cool to have something like ‘clone jenkins server ‘ , just like we can clone jobs at the moment .. ) Thanks Taher . ________________________________ This email and any attachments may contain confidential and privileged material for the sole use of the intended recipient.
