Installing Jenkins plugins in servers with no internet access

This is a simple task but I get a lot of questions on how to install plugins when a Jenkins server doesn't have access to the public internet, which is reality for most corporate setups.

 After you choose the plugin, go the updates url and directly grab the latest .hpi. Let's say you want Conditional Build Step. Be aware that several plugins, including Conditional Build Step, have dependencies and you'll need to download and install them yourself. To find out what are the dependencies look up the relevant wiki page and download the equivalent .hpi(s).

 Finally, to install the plugin simply go to the Jenkins web-ui under Manage Jenkins > Manage Plugins > Advanced or http://[JENKINS_URL]/pluginManager/advanced and upload the .hpi(s), dependencies first.


If you accidentally forget a dependency it will look like this, note the java.io.IOException: Dependency run-condition (1.0) doesn't exist.

    The writer of this blog is really very professional. Every single line of this article is well written. New use of vocabulary is a great effort. At the same time tense, indirect speech was also sued in good manner. dell workstation
