How to get a list of installed Jenkins plugins wit

Question

How can I get a list of installed Jenkins plugins?

I searched the Jenkins Remote Access API document, but it was not found. Should I use Jenkins' CLI? Is there a document or example?

Answer 1

From the Jenkins home page:

1. Click Manage Jenkins.
2. Click Manage Plugins.
3. Click on the Installed tab.

Or

1. Go to the Jenkins URL directly: {Your Jenkins base URL}/pluginManager/installed

Answer 2

You can be also interested what updates are available for plugins. For that, you have to merge the data about installed plugins with information about updates available here https://updates.jenkins.io/current/update-center.json .

To parse the downloaded file as a JSON you have to read online the second line (which is huge).

Answer 3

If Jenkins run in a the Jenkins Docker container you can use this command line in Bash:

java -jar /var/jenkins_home/war/WEB-INF/jenkins-cli.jar -s http://localhost:8080/ list-plugins --username admin --password `/bin/cat /var/jenkins_home/secrets/initialAdminPassword`

Answer 4

If you are a Jenkins administrator you can use the Jenkins system information page:

http://<jenkinsurl>/systemInfo

Answer 5

If you're working in a docker environment and want to output the plugin list in a plugins.txt format in order to pass that to the install_scripts.sh use these scripts in the http://{jenkins}/script console:

1. This version is useful for getting specific package version

Jenkins.instance.pluginManager.plugins.each{
  plugin -> 
    println ("${plugin.getShortName()}:${plugin.getVersion()}")
}

2. If you only want the plugin with the latest version you can use this (thanks @KymikoLoco for the tip)

Jenkins.instance.pluginManager.plugins.each{
  plugin -> 
    println ("${plugin.getShortName()}:latest")
}

Behe's answer with sorting plugins did not work on my Jenkins machine. I received the error java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException due to trying to sort an immutable collection i.e. Jenkins.instance.pluginManager.plugins. Simple fix for the code:

List<String> jenkinsPlugins = new ArrayList<String>(Jenkins.instance.pluginManager.plugins);
jenkinsPlugins.sort { it.displayName }
              .each { plugin ->
                   println ("${plugin.shortName}:${plugin.version}")
              }

Use the http://<jenkins-url>/script URL to run the code.
