Jenkins advanced series-17jenkins upgrade, migration, and backup

Upgrade Jenkins

Jenkins has a fast development iteration. A development version is released every week. The long-term support version is updated every six months (PS: Major version update ). How can I upgrade a database with such frequent updates?

War: download the new war file and replace the old war file. Restart.

Binary: uninstall the old version. Install the new version.

Jenkins program: http://mirrors.jenkins-ci.org/

Note: Before the upgrade, test the compatibility between the version and your local data. How to test: Copy jenkins_home to a new machine and start it with a new program. Test the corresponding plug-ins and configurations.

Migration and backup

First, find jenkins_home (see the Jenkins getting started series-00 Q & A), because all Jenkins data is stored in the jenkins_home directory as files. Therefore, you only need to operate jenkins_home for migration and backup.

Migration: We recommend that you package jenkins_home and copy it. For Windows, you can use zip, rar, and others. For Linux, there are zip and tar files. Then, extract the packaged file to the new jenkins_home directory.

Backup: refer to the Jenkins advanced series-08jenkins for version control. For temporary backup, the entire compressed file is enough.
