How to speed up the installation of Jenkins plugins?

To speed up the installation of Jenkins plugins, you can try the following methods:

1. Change the Jenkins source image by clicking on the “Advanced” button on the left side of the plugin management interface, then navigate to the “Update Site” section, and select a faster mirror site in the “Upgrade Site URL,” such as using a domestic mirror site.
2. To use a proxy server: If your network connection to the Jenkins server is slow, you can consider using a proxy server to speed up downloads. In the Jenkins plugin management interface, click on the “Advanced” button on the left side, then navigate to the “Plugin Management” section. Under the “Advanced” tab, configure the address and port of the proxy server.
3. Manually download and install a plugin: If you know the name and version of the plugin you want to install, you can manually download the HPI file of the plugin and upload it to the “$JENKINS_HOME/plugins” directory on the Jenkins server. Then restart Jenkins.
4. Utilize Jenkins plugin proxy: Jenkins offers a plugin proxy feature that allows for speeding up plugin downloads by configuring a plugin proxy server. Navigate to the plugin management interface in Jenkins, click on the “Advanced” button on the left side, then locate the “Plugin Management” section. Under the “Plugin Proxy” tab, configure the address and port of the plugin proxy server.
