Jenkins Examples

This repo houses some of the content from these blog posts. For a detailed explanation and a step by step guide, please follow the instructions in the blog posts.

For "cutting to the chase", follow the sections below

Running the controller

This will create us a network, and run the Jenkins Controller.

docker network create jenkins
docker run \
  --rm \
  -p 8080:8080 \
  --network jenkins \
  -v "${HOME}/.jenkins:/var/jenkins_home" \
  --name jenkins-controller \
  jenkins/jenkins:lts

Running the agent

We want to build the Jenkins agents, so:

make build

This will create you a Docker image called jenkins-agent:go.

You now require the <secret> and <agent-name> from the Jenkins agent configuration screen. Again, see the blog post.

export JENKINS_SECRET=<secret>
export JENKINS_AGENT_NAME=<agent_name>
docker run --rm \
  -eJENKINS_SECRET \
  -eJENKINS_URL=http://jenkins-controller:8080 \
  -eJENKINS_AGENT_NAME \
  --network jenkins \
  --init \
  -it \
  jenkins-agent:go
