###How to move jenkins to another server

1. Stop both Jenkins server
2. Copy JENKINS_HOME (e.g. /var/lib/jenkins) from the old server to the new one. From a console in the new server:

rsync -av username@old-server-ip:/var/lib/jenkins/ /var/lib/jenkins/

1. Start your new jenkins server

You minght not need this, but I had to

• Manage Jenkins and Reload Configuration fromm Disk
• Disconnect and connect all the slaves again
• Check that in the Configure System -> Jenkins Location, the Jenkins URL is correctly assigned to the new Jenkins server.
