problem¶

Error when starting jenkins

An error occurred during installation: No such plugin: cloudbees-folder

Literally means that the plugin cloudbees-folder was not found. There are some articles saying that downloading this plugin to the local is just fine.

However, there is more than just this plugin when jenkins starts.

There is some discussion here in github issues. It seems that restarting jenkins will do the trick

# Accessing this address is restarting
http://yourhost:8080/restart

But it doesn't seem to work to me here.

final reason¶

Finally, I accidentally found that the mirror I pulled was jenkins instead of jenkins/jenkins. I am using docker...

When trying to pull the latter and start it, there is no such error.
