I have a Hudson server on one PC, and I need to move it to another PC.

I want to do this right the first time without messing up a bunch of things. I've found in my Googling a Stack Overflow question and answer for moving Jenkins here.

I am wary to follow those instructions for Hudson because:

  1. There might be a subtle but significant difference between Hudson and Jenkins since the time that they forked from each other that causes complications;
  2. I'm dealing with Windows 7, not Linux;
  3. I want to know if I can just move Hudson directly from one PC to another, without having to install and reconfigure Hudson on the target PC first (as per the Jenkins instructions).

So my question is, can I move my Hudson installation directly without installing a fresh Hudson on the target PC first? If so, what are the steps?

    If you are running Hudson as a Windows service, then Yes, you must install first and then copy the old Hudson installation. If you are using a TomCat servlet or something similar, then you may not have to do the full install. – CIGuy Sep 20 '13 at 18:18
  • I am running it as a Windows Service... but couldn't I just copy the Hudson installation directory, and then set it up as a Windows Service on the target PC later? – James Dunn Sep 20 '13 at 18:22
  • I believe the installer does more than just install the service (It may set some registry settings etc...) so I don't think that would be a good idea. – CIGuy Sep 20 '13 at 20:28
