I have a configuration where there is one master node and one slave node running Jenkins. The build jobs run on the slave.
Where are the plugins stored? Is it on the master or slave? If on master, what is the location?
Is it possible to access (copy) selected plugins to another server? Are there plugin dependencies that need to be respected?

1 Answer. Jenkins stores the configuration for each job within an eponymous directory in jobs/. The job configuration file is config. xml, the builds are stored in builds/, and the working directory is workspace/.
Step 1: First download plugin from Jenkins plugin directory. Step 2: Here you find your desired plugin and clicked on plugin name, now . hpi file will downloaded. Step 4: Upload your-plugin.
Step 1: To install a plugin, go to the Jenkins Dashboard and click on Manage Jenkins. Step 2: Scroll down and select Manage Plugins. Step 3: Go to the Available tab and in the filter option, search for the plugins which you want to install. Step 4: Select that plugins and click on Install without restart button.
The Folders plugin allows you to organize jobs in hierarchical folders, much like how you organize files in directories in your file system. While this plugin is now open source, it is a foundational element of CloudBees CI, CloudBees Jenkins Platform, CloudBees Jenkins Distribution, and CloudBees Jenkins Enterprise.
For 1., see Administering Jenkins, JENKINS_HOME directory:

Re 2.: I never tried that, but copying plugins to another server including the necessary dependencies should work if you restart the other Jenkins afterwards. Hopefully the Required Core Dependencies section of the respective plugin page is up to date. I'd not recommend doing this in favour of Jenkins' built-in plugin management.
