I'm installing Jenkins 2, with all plugins using Ansible and I wan't to use SCM Sync configuration plugin [1] for managing Jenkins configuration. Is there a way to do SCM Sync configuration plugin reload [2] externally? I have tried Ansible URI module and also tried to use wget, problem seems to be that it does not authenticate.

Try below steps,

  1. Install Jenkins and configure SCM sync plugin to include all the necessary Jenkins jobs/configuration that include scm sync plugin configuration too.
  2. When you are trying to extract in new instance/reload use "git archive ---" command in ansible playbook/role to extract and restart jenkins.
  3. Before step 2 make sure git config file and SSH Keys is configured for Jenkins user to Git account.
