How to migrate Jenkins job from windows local machine to Linux server?

Question

我在本地计算机（Windows）中安装了Jenkins，并使用Jenkins创建了一个新作业，它的工作原理非常完美...现在，我在一个专用的Linux Server中安装了Jenkins ...如何从Windows（本地计算机）迁移作业到Linux服务器上新安装的Jenkins？

Answer 1

The safest solution is to use the Job Import plugin .

Install this plugin on the Linux server, and next import the job from the Windows Jenkins URL :)

Answer 2

You can also check in your Job's configs with some smart .gitignore (or whatever your choice of SCM is) and use the %JENKINS_HOME% as a checked in and versioned directory in the SCM of your choice.

Job config's are OS independent, though the job itself might have OS specific scripts (if you use a shell script instead of a mvn pom file / ant build.xml).

Then you can just check out your checked in job repo to the new linux host's $jenkins_home directory and start up jenkins. all your jobs should be found and added to your linux jenkins (with out the need for a plugin).

Generally speaking... the less plugins, the more stable your Jenkins install will be.
