Docker, perfect for test-driving Jenkins

When Jenkins 2.0 was released I wanted to take it for a test drive, the perfect way to do this was through Docker. Docker means zero commitment to installing packages and configuring your system. Even installing Java could take you on a 30-60min hour detour, Official, prebuilt images in the Docker Hub completely eliminates that and gives you near instant access to pre-packaged software.

I started off by looking at the official instructions for starting a Jenkins 2.0 container. They give 3-4 variations of the docker run command but this can be made much simpler through the use of Docker Compose and a docker-compose.yml file.

You can pull these images straight from the public Docker Hub to be used as Jenkins slave agents.

Jenkins slave images have been trimmed down to 150mb from 650mb+ by switching to Alpine Linux.
