We would like to move our Jenkins installation to Tomcat. We have a Jenkins installation with around 1000 jobs, over 50 slaves, tons of plugins and other various customizations (images, email templates, settings ). The goal is to minimize down-time during the conversion - so we were hoping to keep all Jenkins settings and plugins in place as much as possible.
We tried exploding the Jenkins.war with Tomcat and then merging in the files from our existing war folder – no luck, Tomcat would not start. The jobs folder worked, but the plugins did not work and threw various Jenkins startup errors. We then tried to merge plugins and settings a little bit at a time – no luck, Tomcat still would not start. It seems the only method would be to explode the Jenkins.war and then add all the settings back manually (Manage Jenkins) – which for us would take a significant amount of time. Any advice on how to migrate a large Jenkins installation to Tomcat? Secondly, is it worth the effort? What are the advantages/disadvantages to migrating.
