I was trying to create a Jenkins master slave system using Helm Charts. [ https://github.com/jenkinsci/helm-charts/blob/main/charts/jenkins/README.md ].
After deploying I can see the plugins are stored in two locations in the pod/ docker container.
1. /var/jenkins_home/plugins
2. /usr/share/jenkins/ref/plugins
What's the relation between these two? JENKINS_HOME is configured as /var/jenkins_home/. If I need to backup the plugins which directory should I backup ?
For a plugin named ace-editor, I can see these many files in respective folders.
/usr/share/jenkins/ref/plugins contains (1 file) -> ace-editor.jpi
/var/jenkins_home/plugins contains (4 file) -> ace-editor.jpi, ace-editor.jpi, ace-editor.jpi.pinned, ace-editor.jpi.version_from_image
What does this mean?
