Run Jenkins in a container
1. Overview
Running Jenkins inside a container is a common setup. This article shows you how to set up Jenkins to run in a container so that it can build and scan Docker images.
2. Setting up and starting a Jenkins container
To set up Jenkins to run in a container:
Prerequisite: You have already installed Docker on the host machine.
-
Create the following Dockerfile. It uses the base Jenkins image and sets up the required permissions for the jenkins user.
FROM jenkins/jenkins:lts USER root RUN apt-get update \ && apt-get install -y sudo libltdl7 \ && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* RUN echo "jenkins ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL" >> /etc/sudoers
-
Build the image.
$ docker build -t jenkins_docker .
-
Run the Jenkins container, giving it access to the docker socket.
$ docker run -d -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \ -v $(which docker):/usr/bin/docker -p 8080:8080 jenkins_docker
-
Open a browser and navigate to <JENKINS_HOST>:8080.
-
Install the Prisma Cloud plugin.
