How to automatically start ssh server on boot on Windows Subsystem for Linux

Microsoft partnered with Canonical to create Bash on Ubuntu on Windows, running through a technology called the Windows Subsystem for Linux. Below are instructions on how to set up the ssh server to run automatically at boot.

1. Edit the /etc/ssh/sshd_config file by running the command sudo vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config and do the following
   1. Change Port to 2222 (or any other port above 1000)
   2. Change PasswordAuthentication to yes. This can be changed back to no if ssh keys are setup.
2. Restart the ssh server:
   • sudo service ssh --full-restart
3. With this setup, the ssh server must be turned on every time you run Bash on Ubuntu on Windows, as by default it is off. Use this command to turn it on:

Scripted Jenkins Plugins install

Jenkins has a very rich catalog of plugins and it's quite easy to install and update them via UI. BTW, when you want to add tons of plugin via UI, it's a fairly long and boring procedure.

Hopefully, mass installation (or update) could be easy using a simple bash script (curl/python required) :

Create a file containing plugins to be installed (or updated), ie iplugins :

# install 7-zip, curl and vim
# (Windows 2012 comes with .NET 4.5 out-of-the-box)
# Then use the EC2 tools to create a new AMI from the result, and you have a system 
# that will execute user-data as a PowerShell script after the instance fires up!
# This has been tested on Windows 2012 64bits AMIs provided by Amazon (eu-west-1 ami-a1867dd6)
# 
# Inject this as user-data of a Windows 2012 AMI, like this (edit the adminPassword to your needs):
#
# <powershell>
# Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted
