• Extend the official docker Jenkins file to
install Maven
• Official Image
• https://registry.hub.docker.com/_/jenkins/
• Extended Image
• https://github.com/torrances/docker/tree/master/jenkins

3. Build and Launch
• Build the docker image
• “craig/jenkins“
• Launch a container
• Expose on port 8040 (arbitrary)
• -p 8040:8080
• Inject a host directory
• This will contain all the Jenkins
customizations: build configurations,
credentials, workspace and built artifacts
• Around 130 MB immediately, and can
become very large over time
• -v ~/jpr:/var/jenkins_home
• Code is on the next page
• I like to use a shell script that handles any
host system manipulation and then calls
a docker-compose script
Docker (and docker-compose) installation script:
https://github.com/torrances/bash/blob/master/install/docker.sh

4. Build and Launch
docker-compose.yml
jenkins:
build: .
ports:
- "8040:8080"
volumes:
- ~/jpr:/var/jenkins_home
hostname:
jenkins
privileged:
false
run.sh
mkdir ~/jpr
sudo docker-compose up

17. Things that I haven’t got around to doing yet …
• Look into the use of a docker host to dynamically provision a slave,
run a single build, and tear down the host:
• https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Docker+Plugin
• Install plugins (like Git) dynamically
• https://registry.hub.docker.com/_/jenkins/
• Do I need to install Maven on Docker first, or can this be installed
automatically when Jenkins initializes?
