jenkins - Jenkins 备份配置文件的最佳实践

Question

我在远程 Debian 7.8 上使用 Jenkins。我想将 Debian 7.8 更新到 8.7。我尝试更新并且一切顺利，但是 Jenkins 坏了，无法启动服务。我尝试了一切，但可以找到任何解决方案。最后我使用了 purged 命令，它删除了以前的配置和构建。

现在我恢复了服务器并想再次更新，但我想要一个完整的 Jenkins 配置和构建备份，以便从上次运行的实例中恢复它。

尽可能简单地备份配置(更少的努力和问题)并配置然后合并备份文件的最佳实践是什么。

我必须备份哪些数据/配置文件？

Answer 1

Jenkins 使用的确切布局由 JENKINS_HOME directory 描述。

JENKINS_HOME
 +- config.xml     (jenkins root configuration)
 +- *.xml          (other site-wide configuration files)
 +- userContent    (files in this directory will be served under your http://server/userContent/)
 +- fingerprints   (stores fingerprint records)
 +- plugins        (stores plugins)
 +- workspace (working directory for the version control system)
     +- [JOBNAME] (sub directory for each job)
 +- jobs
     +- [JOBNAME]      (sub directory for each job)
         +- config.xml     (job configuration file)
         +- latest         (symbolic link to the last successful build)
         +- builds
             +- [BUILD_ID]     (for each build)
                 +- build.xml      (build result summary)
                 +- log            (log file)
                 +- changelog.xml  (change log)

它带有一个简单的指令:

All the settings, build logs, artifact archives are stored under the JENKINS_HOME directory. Simply archive this directory to make a back up.

Back ups can be taken without stopping the server, but when you restore, please do stop the server.
