How can I back up my Jenkins using Docker Compose?

How can I back up my Jenkins using Docker Compose?

You can back up your Jenkins by creating a volume for your Jenkins home directory in your Docker Compose file. This way, your data will persist even if the container is recreated.

Can you show me an example of a Docker Compose file for Jenkins backup?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

version: '3'
services:
  jenkins:
    image: jenkins/jenkins:lts
    volumes:
      - jenkins_home:/var/jenkins_home
volumes:
  jenkins_home:

What if I want to back up the Jenkins configuration as well?

You can back up the configuration by ensuring that the jenkins_home volume is properly mapped. Additionally, you can create a backup script that archives the configuration files.

How do I restore the backup?

To restore, you would stop the Jenkins container, replace the contents of the jenkins_home volume with your backup, and then restart the container.
