We're a little bit different from other sites. Here's how:
This site is all about getting answers. It's not a discussion forum. There's no chit-chat.
Just questions...
...and answers.
Good answers are voted up and rise to the top.
The best answers show up first so that they are always easy to find.
The person who asked can mark one answer as "accepted".
Accepting doesn't mean it's the best answer, it just means that it worked for the person who asked.
I do a lot of testing in my Jenkins VM which I have on my local laptop. I found this time-consuming to remove Jenkins and installing again from scratch. It would be better if I have a simple way to restore my Jenkins.
Is there a way to remove all the plugins that I have installed manually and keep the plugins that were installed during Jenkins installation?
One could also use docker Jenkins LTS. If one wants to start from scratch, just remove the mounted Jenkins home folder and there will be a clean Jenkins in no time.
One could use ansible geerlingguy.jenkins role. When this role is applied, a Jenkins system will be created without any plugins. Subsequently, one could install plugins manually, but also define them in ansible, i.e. plugins as code.
Focus on questions about an actual problem you have faced. Include details about what you have tried and exactly what you are trying to do.
Ask about...
Not all questions work well in our format. Avoid questions that are primarily opinion-based, or that are likely to generate discussion rather than answers.
Questions that need improvement may be closed until someone fixes them.
Don't ask about...
All questions are tagged with their subject areas. Each can have up to 5 tags, since a question might be related to several subjects.
Click any tag to see a list of questions with that tag, or go to the tag list to browse for topics that interest you.
