I want to install a specific version of jenkins plugin using nexus as a proxy. Is it possible to install from the jenkins UI. If possible, can someone help?

I am new to Jenkins and trying to understand the use of Plugins.
I have installed Jenkins on a server which already has few software's like Git,terraform.
Do I still need to install Plugins for Jenkins explicitly?
No, if you use git as a shell command.
sh "git"
If you want to use a plugin functionality, you need to install it.
Is there a way to automate the installation of Jenkins using puppet language?
I want to be able to install Jenkins and its prerequisites without manual intervention, and configure it to serve requests of port 8000.
I'm using Centos 7.
Not sure where to start so any help or advice is appreciated.
There is a jenkins (src) puppet module on the forge that allows you to do exactly that.
Once you have your Puppet infrastructure setup, you would need to install (or add through Puppetfile) the jenkins module and classify your node with Jenkins:
node '<certname>' {
include jenkins
}
I have got a update for Jenkins, current version (Jenkins ver. 2.89.3) to (2.107.2). That includes the update on ansible plugin, which i dont want to do it because the latest version of ansible plugin is not compatible to my environment. How to upgrade Jenkins excluding that particular ansible plugin changes
OS: Rhel7
current version:Jenkins ver. 2.89.3
In my environment, updating Jenkins application doesn't automatically update your plugins. You'd have to update your plugins in the settings options.
Also, my Jenkins instance is configured using tomcat & nginx reverse proxy.
I have one jenkins server. There I cannot install docker. So the question is what is the correct way of integrating jenkins with a docker server? Whats the fastest easiest and most convenient way to integrate it?
1.Through a jenkins node with docker installed there
2.Through ssh? And if - how would the configuration look?
3.Only through installed docker on the main jenkins server
4.Other?
that depends on the version of Docker engine you are about to install and the jobs you want to sue it for ( pipeline , freestyle )
basically if your docker engine is no greater then version 1.11 the best way is to use Docker Plugin from Jenkins if you want to simulate containers as slaves.
you can also use workflow docker plugin and even ssh as you said.
it all depends on what you want to achieve from your docker usage
For example, I have a Jenkins Master and two Jenkins slaves for two different projects, one project needs to use Github plugin, so I will install Github plugin in Master. But it is slave which will actually use the Github plugin, so does this means plugin will automatically be installed into slave??
Plugins only need to be installed on the Jenkins master; you don't need to worry about anything there.
But if you're using Git, you need to ensure that Git is installed on each of the build machines where you want to check out code. You can set up Git to be installed automatically via the main Jenkins settings, or you can install Git manually, e.g. via a package manager.
