Upload secret file credentials to Jenkins with REST / CLI

How can I create a Jenkins Credential via REST API or Jenkins CLI? The credential should be of type "secret file", instead of a username / password combination.

The question is similar to this question, but not the same or a duplicate.

Solution

  • You can do it as follows:

    curl -X POST \
 https://jenkins.local/job/TEAM-FOLDER/credentials/store/folder/domain/_/createCredentials \
 -F secret=@/Users/maksym/secret \
 -F 'json={"": "4", "credentials": {"file": "secret", "id": "test", 
"description": "HELLO-curl", "stapler-class": 
"org.jenkinsci.plugins.plaincredentials.impl.FileCredentialsImpl", 
"$class": 
"org.jenkinsci.plugins.plaincredentials.impl.FileCredentialsImpl"}}'
