Hi All, We have an old version (1.651.3) of Jenkins running on a server (RHEL) with many jobs configured to automate our day to day activities. I would like to migrate to the latest stable release of Jenkins.
For that, I would want to have a second instance of Jenkins running (with the latest stable release of Jenkins) on the same server and slowly migrate all the jobs and users to the new jenkins instance after thorough testing. Can anyone guide me on how all the jobs and all the configurations which I have already in place in the old instance can be migrated in one go (maybe by copying some directories or files from the older version) to the new instance and I start testing the new instance to see if all jobs are running without any issues. What would be the best approach to migrate to the latest version of Jenkins and at the same time have the old version running till we decommission it in due course. Also right now, we don't have a backup strategy in place for our Jenkins instance. I am wondering if by chance the Jenkins instance crashes how do I recover it? What are the directories/configuration files I need to backup (on a daily basis) so that in case Jenkins crashes, I can bring it up by having the backup files restored. Appreciate your help on this.
