How do I mass install UrbanCode Deploy plugins to a new server?

Steps

The following steps can be executed to migrate plugins from one UrbanCode Deploy server to another.

1. Plugins are stored in the server's var/plugins subdirectories for both Automation and Source Configuration plugins.
   • var/plugins/command/repo
   • var/plugins/source/repo
2. Create a tar or zip file of all of the zip files in each repository.
   • Change directory into var/plugins/command/repo and run one of the following commands.
     • tar -cvfz command.tgz *.zip
     • zip command.zip *.zip
   • Change directory into var/plugins/source/repo and run one of the following commands.
     • tar -cvfz source.tgz *.zip
     • zip source.zip *.zip
3. Copy the archive files command.tgz, source.tgz or command.zip,  source.zip to the target UrbanCode Deploy server.
4. The target UrbanCode Deploy server has a stage directory for new plugins. At startup, new plugins are automatically moved from the stage folder to the repo folder. Therefore you will unzip the archives into the stage folders.
   • Change directory into var/plugins/command/stage and run one of the following commands.
     • tar -xvfz command.tgz
     • unzip command.zip
   • Change directory into var/plugins/source/stage and run one of the following commands.
     • tar -xvfz source.tgz
     • unzip source.zip
5. Start the target server. The following log entry will indicate the plugin was loaded.
