Plugin manager is losing plugins installed in previous images

Open gutschet opened this issue 4 years ago • 5 comments

Hello,

We have a hierarchical structure auf our images:

  • jenkins-base (FROM jenkins:jenkins) installs plugins needed by all our projects, specified in plugins-base.txt.
  • jenkins-project-<projectID> (FROM jenkins-base) installs additional plugins specific to the project, specified in plugins-project.txt.

That works fine, when I use the old install-plugins.sh method. When I start a jenkins container from my jenkins-project-<projectID> image, I get a jenkins instance with the plugins fro both plugins-base.txt and plugins-project.txt.

But when I use the new plugin-installation-manager-tool with the same plugin lists, the project specific image only has the plugins from plugins-project.txt (and their dependencies) but not the plugins from plugins-base.txt.

My installation commands:

  • with install-plugins.sh script: RUN /usr/local/bin/install-plugins.sh < /usr/share/jenkins/ref/plugins-project.txt
  • with plugin-installation-manager-tool: RUN java -Dhttps.proxyHost=${PROXY_HOST} -Dhttps.proxyPort=${PROXY_PORT} -jar /usr/lib/jenkins-plugin-manager.jar --verbose -f /usr/share/jenkins/ref/plugins-project.txt

Is this a bug or am I using the new tool wrong?

Kind regards Timo

I think this doesn't happen on newer versions but the docker image it not up to date with our release, see https://github.com/jenkinsci/docker/pull/1071

Ah great, thanks for the quick answer. I was wondering because i set up a jenkins instance for a new project and it crashed because the plugins from base image were not installed. So I guess I have to wait for jenkins to integrate the new version to the image.

Have a nice weekend

Sorry for closing. Yes, you just need to wait. The recent weekly release should already include the change

You are right @timja . https://github.com/jenkinsci/docker/pull/1071 was closed in favor of another PR, not merged. https://github.com/jenkinsci/docker/pull/1073 should land it

Based on the earlier comments that this is resolved in newer releases of the tool, I'm closing it.
