SEVERE: Failed to initialize Jenkins

This worked with the previous version of Jenkins / the plugin

That's because it was removed in 2.165, please read changelogs: https://jenkins.io/changelog/

https://jenkins.io/blog/2019/02/17/remoting-cli-removed/

Please remove

    security:
      remotingCLI:
        enabled: false

from your YAML files

Closing as works as intended
