How to install a plugin in Jenkins manually
Yes, you can. Download the plugin (*.hpi file) and put it in the following directory:
<jenkinsHome>/plugins/Afterwards you will need to restart Jenkins.
- Download the plugin.
- Inside Jenkins: Manage Jenkins → Manage Plugins → There is a tab called Advanced and on that page there is an option to upload a plugin (the extension of the file must be hpi).
Sometimes, when you download plugins you may get (.zip) files then just rename with (.hpi) and use the UI to install the plugin.
If you use Docker, you should read this file: https://github.com/cloudbees/jenkins-ci.org-docker/blob/master/plugins.sh
Example of a parent Dockerfile:
FROM jenkinsCOPY plugins.txt /plugins.txtRUN /usr/local/bin/plugins.sh /plugins.txtplugins.txt
<name>:<version><name2>:<version2>
