The Jenkins Continuous Integration and Delivery server. This is based on official one, some tweakings on it, including add key pairs and use centos.

Usage

docker run -p 8080:8080 jenkins

This will store the workspace in /var/jenkins_home. All Jenkins data lives in there - including plugins and configuration. You will probably want to make that a persistent volume (recommended):

docker run -p 8080:8080 -v /your/home:/var/jenkins_home jenkins

This will store the jenkins data in /your/home on the host. Ensure that /your/home is accessible by the jenkins user in container (jenkins user - uid 1000).

You can also use a volume container:

docker run --name myjenkins -p 8080:8080 -v /var/jenkins_home jenkins

Then myjenkins container has the volume (please do read about docker volume handling to find out more).

Backing up data

If you bind mount in a volume - you can simply back up that directory (which is jenkins_home) at any time.

This is highly recommended. Treat the jenkins_home directory as you would a database - in Docker you would generally put a database on a volume.

If your volume is inside a container - you can use docker cp $ID:/var/jenkins_home command to extract the data. Note that some symlinks on some OSes may be converted to copies (this can confuse jenkins with lastStableBuild links etc)

Attaching build executors

You can run builds on the master (out of the box) buf if you want to attach build slave servers: make sure you map the port: -p 50000:50000 - which will be used when you connect a slave agent.

Here is an example docker container you can use as a build server with lots of good tools installed - which is well worth trying.

Passing JVM parameters

You might need to customize the JVM running Jenkins, typically to pass system properties or tweak heap memory settings. Use JAVA_OPTS environment variable for this purpose :

docker run --name myjenkins -p 8080:8080 --env JAVA_OPTS=-Dhudson.footerURL=http://mycompany.com jenkins
