Please help me to solve the issue. This issue I can see first time.

The error is pretty clear.
You should update all plugins to the latest version available

@pravin123

had the same issue.

The Jenkins is loading a wrong/outdated version of the eddsa-api plugin.

This fix here helped:

Start jenkins with loading the “eddsa-api” plugin explicitly.

I tested it with “jenkins:2.492.2-lts-jdk21”, but should work with “jenkins:2.492.3-lts-jdk21” as well.

Still I am getting same errors.

I have updated explicitly plugin version in my values.yaml file still getting same error.

@pravin123 now it’s another plugin that requires upgrade.

There are some dependencies between bouncycastle-api and mina-sshd-api-common mentioned here, that I don’t fully understand. You might want to look into why you need bouncycastle-api in the list of plugins (explicitly) in the first place:

Try to remove it from the list?

kubernetes depends on bouncycastle. And the plugin versions you have defined are already not the latest vesrion, e.g. latest kubernetes is 4336.v55d9a_494db_38 and that version requires also the latest bouncycastle.
Other things:

  • saml:2.333.vc81e525974a_c is 3 years old
  • matrix-auth:2.6.11 is 3 years old
  • ace-editor:1.1, that plugin can be removed it’s obsolete
  • email-ext:2.99 is 2 years old

I’m not familiar with how the helm manages plugin versions but when you can force the plugin version via installPlugins then I would move each and every plugin in there so I have a defined state. So it is more like a docker image that has all plugins baked in. Drawback might be that you can’t just update a plugin via the UI and restart though.
