Jenkins is widely recognized as the most feature-rich CI available with easy configuration, continuous delivery and continuous integration support, easily test, build and stage your app, and more. It supports multiple SCM tools including CVS, Subversion and Git. It can execute Apache Ant and Apache Maven-based projects as well as arbitrary scripts.
$ curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-jenkins/master/docker-compose.yml > docker-compose.yml
$ docker-compose up -d
You can find the default credentials and available configuration options in the Environment Variables section.
- Bitnami closely tracks upstream source changes and promptly publishes new versions of this image using our automated systems.
- With Bitnami images the latest bug fixes and features are available as soon as possible.
- Bitnami containers, virtual machines and cloud images use the same components and configuration approach - making it easy to switch between formats based on your project needs.
- All our images are based on minideb a minimalist Debian based container image which gives you a small base container image and the familiarity of a leading Linux distribution.
- All Bitnami images available in Docker Hub are signed with Docker Content Trust (DCT). You can use
DOCKER_CONTENT_TRUST=1
to verify the integrity of the images. - Bitnami container images are released daily with the latest distribution packages available.

Deploying Bitnami applications as Helm Charts is the easiest way to get started with our applications on Kubernetes. Read more about the installation in the Bitnami Jenkins Chart GitHub repository.
Bitnami containers can be used with Kubeapps for deployment and management of Helm Charts in clusters.
Non-root container images add an extra layer of security and are generally recommended for production environments. However, because they run as a non-root user, privileged tasks are typically off-limits. Learn more about non-root containers in our docs.

To run this application you need Docker Engine >= 1.10.0
. Docker Compose is recommended with a version 1.6.0
or later.
The main folder of this repository contains a functional docker-compose.yml
file. Run the application using it as shown below:
$ curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-jenkins/master/docker-compose.yml > docker-compose.yml
$ docker-compose up -d
If you want to run the application manually instead of using docker-compose
, these are the basic steps you need to run:
$ docker network create jenkins-network
$ docker volume create --name jenkins_data
$ docker run -d --name jenkins \
-p 80:8080 -p 443:8443 \
--network jenkins-network \
--volume jenkins_data:/bitnami/jenkins \
bitnami/jenkins:latest
Access your application at http://your-ip/
If you remove the container all your data and configurations will be lost, and the next time you run the image the database will be reinitialized. To avoid this loss of data, you should mount a volume that will persist even after the container is removed.
For persistence you should mount a volume at the /bitnami/jenkins
path. The above examples define a docker volume namely jenkins_data
. The Jenkins application state will persist as long as this volume is not removed.
To avoid inadvertent removal of this volume you can mount host directories as data volumes. Alternatively you can make use of volume plugins to host the volume data.
This requires a minor change to the docker-compose.yml
file present in this repository:
...
services:
jenkins:
...
volumes:
- - 'jenkins_data:/bitnami/jenkins
+ - /path/to/jenkins-persistence:/bitnami/jenkins
- volumes:
- jenkins_data:
- driver: local
$ docker network create jenkins-network
$ docker run -d --name jenkins \
-p 80:8080 -p 443:8443 \
--network jenkins-network \
--volume /path/to/jenkins-persistence:/bitnami/jenkins \
bitnami/jenkins:latest
For customizations, please note that this image is, by default, a non-root container using the user jenkins
with uid=1001
.
To extend the bitnami original image, you can create your own image using a Dockerfile with the format below:
FROM bitnami/jenkins
## Put your customizations below
...
Here is an example of extending the image with the following modifications:
- Install the
vim
editor
FROM bitnami/jenkins
LABEL maintainer "Bitnami <containers@bitnami.com>"
## Change user to perform privileged actions
USER 0
## Install 'vim'
RUN install_packages vim
## Revert to the original non-root user
USER 1001
To pass and download a set of plugins and their dependencies, use the install-plugins.sh
script. It will download them from update centers
NOTE: Default update centers must have Internet access
Use plugin artifact ID, without -plugin
extension, and append the version if needed separated by :
.
Dependencies that are already included in the Jenkins war file will only be downloaded if their required version is newer than the one already included.
You can also use a custom version specifier:
latest
- download the latest version from the main update center. For Jenkins LTS images (example:git:latest
)
You can run the script manually in the Dockerfile by adding the following after the COPY rootfs /
command:
RUN /install-plugins.sh docker-slaves github-branch-source:1.8
Furthermore, it is possible to pass a file that contains this set of plugins (with or without line breaks), you should locate this file in the rootfs
directory.
RUN /install-plugins.sh < /plugins.txt
You can include files to the image automatically. All files/directories located in /usr/share/jenkins/ref
are copied to JENKINS_HOME
.
We can create custom groovy scripts and make Jenkins run them at start up. We can also enforce them to run at a certain order by using a prefix in the names.
However, using this feature will disable the default configuration done by the Bitnami scripts. This is intended to customize the Jenkins configuration by code.
$ mkdir jenkins-init.groovy.d
$ echo "println '--> hello world!'" >jenkins-init.groovy.d/AA_hello.groovy
$ echo "println '--> bye world!'" >jenkins-init.groovy.d/BA_bye.groovy
$ docker run -d --name jenkins -e "DISABLE_JENKINS_INITIALIZATION=yes" -v "$(pwd)/jenkins-init.groovy.d:/usr/share/jenkins/ref/init.groovy.d" -p 80:8080 -p 443:8443 bitnami/jenkins:latest
$ docker exec jenkins ls /opt/bitnami/jenkins/jenkins_home/init.groovy.d
AA_hello.groovy
BA_bye.groovy
$ docker exec jenkins cat /opt/bitnami/jenkins/logs/jenkins.log | grep world
--> hello world!
--> bye world!
We can download plugins in a local folder and install them at run time.
$ docker run \
--volume "$(pwd)/jenkins-plugins:/usr/share/jenkins/ref/plugins" \
bitnami/jenkins:latest \
install-plugins.sh \
role-strategy:latest
$ docker run -d --name jenkins \
-p 80:8080 -p 443:8443 \
--volume "$(pwd)/jenkins-plugins:/usr/share/jenkins/ref/plugins" \
bitnami/jenkins:latest
$ docker exec jenkins ls /opt/bitnami/jenkins/jenkins_home/plugins/
We can make Jenkins run our own config.xml
file.
However, using this feature will disable the default configuration done by the Bitnami scripts. This is intended to customize the Jenkins configuration by code.
In the example below we are going to use a role-based authorization strategy by default.
$ docker run \
--volume "$(pwd)/jenkins-plugins:/usr/share/jenkins/ref/plugins" \
bitnami/jenkins:latest \
install-plugins.sh \
role-strategy:latest

NOTE: We are using a
config.xml
created by Jenkins at first run. You can consider using groovy scripts to perform this kind of configuration too.
NOTE: We are not creating the
admin
user with this setup. It should be done separately.
You might need to customize the JVM running Jenkins, typically to pass system properties or to tweak heap memory settings. Use the JAVA_OPTS
environment variable for this purpose:
$ docker run -d --name jenkins -p 80:8080 -p 443:8443 \
--env JAVA_OPTS=-Dhudson.footerURL=http://mycompany.com \
bitnami/jenkins:latest
By default, when running this image, Bitnami implement some logic in order to configure it for working out of the box. This initialization consists of creating the user and password, preparing data to persist, installing some plugins, configuring permissions, creating the JENKINS_HOME
, etc.
You can skip it in two ways:
- Setting the
DISABLE_JENKINS_INITIALIZATION
environment variable toyes
. - Attaching a volume with a custom
JENKINS_HOME
that contains a functional Jenkins installation.
Bitnami provides up-to-date versions of Jenkins, including security patches, soon after they are made upstream. We recommend that you follow these steps to upgrade your container. We will cover here the upgrade of the Jenkins container.
$ docker pull bitnami/jenkins:latest
- For docker-compose:
$ docker-compose stop jenkins
- For manual execution:
$ docker stop jenkins
$ rsync -a /path/to/jenkins-persistence /path/to/jenkins-persistence.bkp.$(date +%Y%m%d-%H.%M.%S)
You can use this snapshot to restore the application state should the upgrade fail.
- For docker-compose:
$ docker-compose rm -v jenkins
- For manual execution:
$ docker rm -v jenkins
- For docker-compose:
$ docker-compose up jenkins
- For manual execution (mount the directories if needed):
docker run --name jenkins bitnami/jenkins:latest
The Jenkins instance can be customized by specifying environment variables on the first run. The following environment values are provided to customize Jenkins:
JENKINS_USERNAME
: Jenkins admin username. Default: userJENKINS_PASSWORD
: Jenkins admin password. Default: bitnamiJENKINS_HOME
: Jenkins home directory. Default: /opt/bitnami/jenkins/jenkins_homeDISABLE_JENKINS_INITIALIZATION
: Allows to disable the initial Bitnami configuration for Jenkins. Default: noJAVA_OPTS
: Customize JVM parameters. No defaults.
Modify the docker-compose.yml
file present in this repository:
jenkins:
...
environment:
- JENKINS_PASSWORD=my_password
...
$ docker run -d --name jenkins \
-p 80:8080 -p 443:8443 \
--network jenkins-network \
--env JENKINS_PASSWORD=my_password \
--volume jenkins_data:/bitnami/jenkins \
bitnami/jenkins:latest
- The deprecated plugins below are not included in the image by default anymore:
- Java distribution has been migrated from AdoptOpenJDK to OpenJDK Liberica. As part of VMware, we have an agreement with Bell Software to distribute the Liberica distribution of OpenJDK. That way, we can provide support & the latest versions and security releases for Java.
- The Jenkins container has been migrated to a "non-root" user approach. Previously the container ran as the
root
user and the Jenkins service was started as thejenkins
user. From now on, both the container and the Jenkins service run as userjenkins
(uid=1001
). You can revert this behavior by changingUSER 1001
toUSER root
in the Dockerfile. - Consequences:
- Backwards compatibility is not guaranteed when data is persisted using docker or docker-compose. We highly recommend migrating your Jenkins data ensuring the
jenkins
user has the appropriate permissions. - No "privileged" actions are allowed anymore.
- Backwards compatibility is not guaranteed when data is persisted using docker or docker-compose. We highly recommend migrating your Jenkins data ensuring the
- Use Jetty instead of Tomcat as web server.
- The Jenkins container has been migrated to the LTS version. From now on, this repository will only track long term support releases from Jenkins.
