Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone has ran Jenkins in a Docker container? How did you do it and are there any tips that you would share? What are the exact commands that you used to run the container with?
Thanks!

Hello,
Yes, I’ve recently had to set that up. So far it is working pretty well!
Here’s a link to the official Jenkins image on Docker Hub:
https://hub.docker.com/r/jenkins/jenkins
Note: Make sure NOT to use the deprecated one here:
https://hub.docker.com/r/_/jenkins
Once you have docker installed on your host, all you need to do is to simply run this command:
But even better, You will probably want to make that an explicit volume so you can manage it and attach to another container for upgrades:
This will automatically create a ‘jenkins_home’ docker volume on the host machine, that will survive the container stop/restart/deletion.
For more information I would also suggest going through the readme file on the official repo here:
https://github.com/jenkinsci/docker/blob/master/README.md
Hope that this helps! Regards, Bobby
