Export plugins from a running Jenkins deployment:

export JENKINS_HOST=username:password@myhost.com:port
curl -sSL "http://$JENKINS_HOST/pluginManager/api/xml?depth=1&xpath=/*/*/shortName|/*/*/version&wrapper=plugins" | perl -pe 's/.*?<shortName>([\w-]+).*?<version>([^<]+)()(<\/\w+>)+/\1 \2\n/g'|sed 's/ /:/'

One from @kishorebabu12: https://blog.codecentric.de/en/2015/02/jenkins-deployment-dashboard-ec2-environments/

[afeld]

@JJediny That list above includes the transitive dependencies, yeah? What are the top-level plugins you include?

[JJediny]

@afeld yea that list includes all plugins including a plugin's required plugins. When testing to install plugins it failed to install the correct version as I declared :latest for all plugins in a txt file that got imported into a Jenkins Dockerfile to install declared plugins - GSA/datagov-infrastructure#1

So I think it'd be best to install the plugins you need first through the GUI to make sure all the correct dependency versions are interpreted for you then run that curl example above to snapshot into the repo?

[afeld]

Yep yep. To ask again: do you remember what top-level plugins data.gov uses? In other words, what plugins are on that list that aren't a dependency of another plugin on that list?

[JJediny]

These are all top level plugins https://github.com/GSA/datagov-infrastructure/blob/master/deprecated/jenkins/plugins.txt
