This tutorial will guide you through the steps for setting up jenkins in a docker container.

  1. Command to run Jenkins with the host volume mapped to the container for jenkins data.

    docker run --name yourjenkins -p 8080:8080 -p 50000:50000 -v /your/home:/var/jenkins_home jenkins

    Change /your/home with your Linux host directory for mapping containers jenkins_hom directory. This would persist data your host rather than the containers. Even if container crashes, your data will not be lost.

  2. If you want a specific jenkins version, head over to jenkins docker. Jenkins Docker Hub to get the details about the latest docker builds for jenkins from the tags option.
