Installing Docker on Jenkins machines is easy
Combining Jenkins and Docker together can bring improved speed and consistency to your automation tasks, which is why we’ve collected some hopefully helpful resources on this page to get you started!
Docker is an open-source project that automates the deployment of applications inside software containers, by providing an additional layer of abstraction and automation of operating-system-level virtualization on Linux.*
What this offers to Jenkins users is a means to isolate different jobs from one another, quickly clean a job’s workspace or even dynamically deploy or schedule jobs with Docker containers to increase resource utilization and efficiency.
dynamically provision slaves with Docker
build and use Docker containers from within Workflows
add various Docker commands to the job as a build step
build projects with a Dockerfile, and publish the resulting image (repo) to the docker registry
dynamically allocate and schedule Docker slaves on a Kubernetes cluster
allows Jenkins to receive webhooks from hub.docker.com to drive pipelines based on Docker in Jenkins
track creation and use of Docker containers in Jenkins
