Jenkins 2.263.4 LTS compatible Plugins instllation

List of plugins that appear to be required to start Jenkins 2.263.4 LTS successfully, it's based on troubleshooting experience (e.g., resolving "Failed to load" errors like the recent Git and Mailer issues). This list represents a minimal yet functional setup for Jenkins 2.263.4, including Git SCM support, SSH credentials, and Pipeline capabilities. I’ll refine it by specifying compatible versions for each plugin, ensuring they work with Jenkins 2.263.4 (released January 2021).

Why This Works


  • Completeness: Includes all plugins you listed, resolving your chain of "Failed to load" errors (e.g., Git 4.7.1, Mailer 1.32.1).

  • Compatibility: Versions are from 2020-2021, matching Jenkins 2.263.4’s LTS release.

  • Order: Installs base plugins (Structs, Credentials) before dependents (Git, Git Client).

Verification


  • Check "Manage Plugins" > "Installed"—all 18 should be active.

  • Test a Git job with SSH and email notifications.

  • Review /var/log/jenkins/jenkins.log for errors.

This setup should give you a fully functional Jenkins 2.263.4!
