      Jenkins puts lots of temporary data (that's not part of the actual state, but automatically created) into the jenkins_home volume, by uncompressing the war there.

      This unnecessarily bloats up the jenkins_home volume (about 200MB!), which is very unpleasant when running many instances and for backups.

      I see several options for solving that problem:

      1. dont uncompress it at all
      2. mount it via fuse-zip
      3. uncompress to some tmpfs
      4. uncompress to an extra volume (which can be easily disposed)
