Jenkins, Backup server setup. If master crash.

 

In this blog we will restore Jenkins backup in a new Jenkins server. where you can restore you previous or existing Jenkins backup in to a new Jenkins server. 

To complete this process you should have Jenkins backup with you.

>> Let's start.<< 

First we need to setup a new server and install Jenkins on it.

Now restore the old Jenkins backup to the new server under /$JENKINS_HOME folder /var/lib/Jenkins.

Create SSH secret file in Jenkins home directory with command ssh-keygen

Put SSH public key “id_rsa.pub” key into GitLab ssh-key-access settings.

And also put the public key “id_rsa.pub” key into the deployment server for communication between the Jenkins server to the deployment server.

Note: White list the new Jenkins server public IP for Gitlab server and deployment servers on AWS or respective cloud.
