Jenkins plugin manager rejects plugins.txt.override file

See original GitHub issue

We switched from install-plugins.sh to jenkins-plugin-manager in our Dockerfile and noticed that it doesn’t support specifying the plugins.txt.override file as a parameter.

$ java -jar /usr/lib/jenkins-plugin-manager.jar -f /usr/share/jenkins/ref/plugins.txt.override
Unknown file type, file must have .yaml/.yml or .txt extension

We worked around the issue like this for the time being:

$ java -jar /usr/lib/jenkins-plugin-manager.jar -p $(< /usr/share/jenkins/ref/plugins.txt.override)

I think it would still make sense to allow .override files in this case…

This paragraph is misplaced under https://github.com/jenkinsci/docker/#plugin-installation-manager-cli-preview which indeed has nothing to do with the plugins.txt file.

In case you do want to override, append ‘.override’ to the name of the reference file. E.g. a file named /usr/share/jenkins/ref/config.xml.override will overwrite an existing config.xml file in JENKINS_HOME.
