Removing plugins from Docker containers has some complications that are
specific to the way plugins are managed in Docker containers. We have a
work in progress pull request that is developing the detailed description
of the various scenarios to remove plugins from a container.
The technique that I've used has been to remove the contents of
${JENKINS_HOME}/plugins as the last step in my Dockerfile version that is
removing a plugin so that on the next startup of that container, the
current set of plugins will be copied from the "${REF}" directory into the
${JENKINS_HOME}/plugins directory. I don't know if that's the best way,
but that's one way that has worked for me.
