jenkins-docker

Run a Jenkins server with Docker.io binaries included

Building

$ docker build -t 4km3/jenkins-docker .

The dockerhost must expose the Docker API via network. Include the following snippet in /etc/default/docker

DOCKER_OPTS="-H tcp://0.0.0.0:4243 -H unix:///var/run/docker.sock"

and restart the service

If you are running a systemd based distro, create a Drop-in snippet at /etc/systemd/system/docker.service.d/override.conf with the following content:

[Service] 
ExecStart= 
ExecStart=/usr/bin/dockerd -H tcp://0.0.0.0:4243 -H unix:///var/run/docker.sock

and then restart the docker daemon

Using docker named volumes is recommended for data persistance across upgrades. A docker-compose is provided for convenience.

$ docker-compose up

will start and create a named volume automatically if not present. Should you want to remove the named volume, you can do it via:

$ docker-compose down
$ docker volume rm dockerjenkinsdocker_jenkins-storage

if docker-compose was run from this directory. Otherwise check naming with

$ docker volume ls

The Jenkins web interface is available at localhost:8080
