I use two different Jenkins servers(tomcat jenkins) and i was trying to install a plugin for aws codedeploy.
However, I couldn't find it in the list of a Jenkins but another one has it.
Why the plugin libraries are different? even though i install them in a same way.
Also, How can i add a particular plugin in my Jenkins server?
Thank you.
Why the plugin libraries are different?
The plugin libraries shouldn't be different.
Which way did you search the plugin (jenkins gui, in the web)? Both your servers are on the same Jenkins version?
Also, How can i add a particular plugin in my Jenkins server?
I do it always via the GUI as described here: https://jenkins.io/doc/book/managing/plugins/

We run a Bitbucket Server on version 7.21 and have recently developed a Plugin for it. Since this plugin finally reached a stable Version we wanted to integrate it into our cd/ci pipeline (bamboo).
We can build the plugin via bamboo build plan alright, but we are facing an issue when trying to deploy it.
atlas-sdk's "atlas-install-plugin" does not work for us (afaik) because we are not in the project space, but only have the built jar itself.
Is there any way to copy the jar to a specific location on the bitbucket server and it auto-deploys or something similar?
For anyone searching, I found the solution.
You can install plugins via the rest api: https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/installing-uninstalling-upgrading-and-downgrading-marketplace-apps-on-confluence-using-rest-api-1005343959.html
I am working on a project where I need to automate the LDAP and other plugin configuration without manual intervention .Is this possible using Ansible?Or can experts some one suggest a better way to do it.Thank you
The recommended approach for configuring plugins is JCasC. You must inatall the JCasC plugin. LDAP plugin supports JCasC.
Note: JCasC does not manage the installation of plugins themselves, that's a separate topic, just the configuration.
I added the Marathon plugin to Jenkins through the Jenkins management Web UI. It showed up as a list of available plugins to install. I also downloaded the HPI and added the plugin manually. In both cases, the Marathon option doesn't show up in my pipeline config. I'm following the steps here: https://dcos.io/docs/1.7/usage/tutorials/jenkins/#building-a-docker-image-and-deploying-it-to-marathon
Use version mesosphere/jenkins:3.0.1-2.32.2 in combination with persisting your Jenkins data on NFS. Installation and updates of plugins works for me with this combination.
You should consider missing functionality in older versions of Jenkins in DC/OS as described in this thread: https://github.com/mesosphere/dcos-jenkins-service/issues/105
Do you use a NFS share to persist your Jenkins data? In my experience you can not use DC/OS Jenkins properly without persisting Jenkins' data.
I am working on installing and configuring Jenkins automatically using the Jenkins CLI. I am able to install plugins such as the Active Directory plugin, but haven't figured out how to configure it. Is it possible to perform such tasks from the CLI? From a Jenkins GUI standpoint, I'd like to check the Enable security checkbox under Security Realm check the Active Directory option, provide parameters to Active Directory, and under Authorization check the Anyone can do anything option.
I'm using a Puppet module (https://forge.puppetlabs.com/rtyler/jenkins) for the automation.
Greetings,

If you want to modify their configuration files manually using scripts called from the CLI, then yes.
Else, I don't believe there is. At least, not a general way for all plugins. Plugins are capable of adding CLI commands, as per this documentation page:
https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Jenkins+CLI
Extending CLI
Plugins installed on Jenkins server can add custom CLI commands. See Writing CLI commands for more details.
So, some of the plugins you're using may have specific commands to configure them from the CLI.
So as far as I know those are your options. Manual configuration through editing their config files, or hoping your plugin includes some commands in the CLI that is specific to it.
There is currently a new Plugin in development called "Configuration as Code Plugin" to provide a way for configuration of plugins using YAML: https://github.com/jenkinsci/configuration-as-code-plugin/
They are currently in an early development stage but this could help solve this kind of problem.
I currently have Build User Vars Plugin 1.1 installed in my Jenkins. Since version 1.1 of the plugin, there has been some important changes to the plugin code, and I want to pick them up. The question is what is the least amount of work to package up the hpi/jpi file that I can push on my Jenkins install that will contain latest changes.
It's fairly easy to build a plugin locally; you can then upload the hpi/jpi file to Jenkins via the Advanced tab in the plugin manager.
See the Jenkins plugin tutorial for detailed steps.
