I'm in the process of updating our current Hudson server from version 1.396 to 3.0.1 and at the same, I'm upgrading the software and installing on a new machine which will run on Oracle Linux. Our current Hudson server (hudson.war) is deployed on top of the Glassfish application server, but in the new installation, I've decided to install it in Native mode.

However, we have over 50 slave machines and one feature that I see in the WAR (even the current version), but not on the Native version. Specifically in the Configuration screen for the slave node, "Launch Method" drop down has "Launch slave agents on Unix machines via SSH". I don't see this option in the Native version of Hudson by default. I'm hoping that what I'm missing is a specific plugin, but I could not identify one from what's available.

I hope someone can help out. I've tried to work around the problem by configuring SSH to have direct access from the Server (master) to the slave (client), but it doesn't work well with Windows 7 or 8. I've tried the JNLP option, but I could not get it to work properly. I get errors which do not point out a clear problem.

Perhaps you need to install the ssh-slaves plugin.

FYI: Some people aren't aware that the "native" Linux distro versions bundle plugins. Bundled plugins can't be upgraded unless you perform a manual step. See: http://wiki.hudson-ci.org/display/HUDSON/Pinned+Plugins

This doesn't affect installing new plugins like ssh-slaves or upgrading non-bundled plugins.

Hi Alex,

Hudson 3.x does not bundle any plugins. But gives option via initial setup to install plugins and updates. As Bob said you may have to install ssh-plugins and Windows Slave plugin


Use http://hudson-ci.org/downloads/war/3.0.1-b3/hudson.war, which fixes the issue you see with setting windows slave JNLP client as service.

Excuse the ring. In Hudson 3 at least, pinned plugins aren't that big a deal. If you look in Manage Hudson > Manage Plugins > Installed, every pinned plugin will have an Unpin button. All you have to do is click it. Then you can upgrade to a newer version. (Thanks, Winston, for the tip.)
