Jenkins CI: how easy is the migration to Jenkins-2? 1st attempt – looks like completed successfully

  • https://jenkins.io
  • created a copy of my start-up script rcjenkins by the name of rcjenkins2
  • downloaded http://mirrors.jenkins-ci.org/war/2.0/jenkins.war to $HOME/JENKINS_WARS/jenkins-2-000.war
  • I don’t see a need to change anything regarding JENKINS_WARS and the way I select the .war I want to start within rcjenkins resp. rcjenkins2
  • installed all available, updatable plugins within “Manage Plugins”; in order to be sure, they all work in the “old set-up”, that needs one round-trip of restarting Jenkins
  • …/rcjenkins stop
  • my env. var. JENKINS_HOME has been pointing to a directory JENKINS_HOME_005 so far
  • I created a fresh copy of JENKINS_HOME_005 by the name of JENKINS_HOME_200
  • for the time being JENKINS_HOME will now point to JENKINS_HOME_200
  • …/rcjenkins2 start
  • https://…/jenkins/descriptor/jenkins.install.UpgradeWizard/upgrade
  • … “Installing Plugins/Upgrades” …
  • I did not “check” the “automatic restart”
  • instead I initiated the restart myself after all the plugins/upgrades had gotten installed
  • after the restart I started my favourite job, and everything looks fine with my Jenkins-2.0 installation
