1 Run Jenkins via HTTP
This article will describe running Jenkins via HTTP.
- Jenkins container uses 8080/tcp for HTTP service. Map 8080/tcp of Jenkins container to 80/tcp of host machine.
- For persistent storage, map jenkins_home volume to JENKINS_HOME directory which uses for Jenkins data (Default value is /var/jenkins_home).
Run Jenkins container.
$ docker run -d –name jenkins -p 80:8080 -v jenkins_home:/var/jenkins_home jenkins/jenkins:lts
Jenkins first password is stored to ${JENKINS_HOME}/secrets/initialAdminPassword. You need to wait Jenkins container initialization for accessing this file.
$ while : ; do docker cp jenkins:/var/jenkins_home/secrets/initialAdminPassword . > /dev/null 2>&1 && break sleep 10; done$ cat initialAdminPassword$ rm -f initialAdminPassword
Access the following URL with IP address or hostname of host machine.
http://<ipaddr>
2 Run Jenkins via HTTPS
This article will describe running Jenkins via HTTPS.
- Use 8443/tcp for HTTPS service of Jenins. The lower port will be failed to bind. Map 8443/tcp of Jenkins container to 443/tcp of host machine.
- Create SSL certification files for HTTPS with debian container and stored these to jenkins_home volume.
Define variables.
$ JENKINS_HOME=”/var/jenkins_home”$ JENKINS_OPTS=”–httpPort=-1″$ JENKINS_OPTS=”${JENKINS_OPTS} –httpsPort=8443″$ JENKINS_OPTS=”${JENKINS_OPTS} –httpsPrivateKey=${JENKINS_HOME}/jenkins.key”$ JENKINS_OPTS=”${JENKINS_OPTS} –httpsCertificate=${JENKINS_HOME}/jenkins.pem”
Create SSL certification files with debian container’s openssl and store these to jenkins_home volume.
$ docker run –rm -v jenkins_home:${JENKINS_HOME} debian:jessie /bin/sh -c “set -eapt update -yapt install -y opensslcd ${JENKINS_HOME}openssl genrsa -out jenkins.keycat <<EOF | openssl req -new -key jenkins.key -out jenkins.crtAUSome-StatecitycompanysectionEOFopenssl x509 -req -days 9999 -in jenkins.crt -signkey jenkins.key -out jenkins.pem”
Run Jenkins container.
$ docker run -d –name jenkins -p 443:8443 -e JENKINS_HOME=${JENKINS_HOME} -e JENKINS_OPTS=”${JENKINS_OPTS}” -v jenkins_home:${JENKINS_HOME} jenkins/jenkins:lts
Jenkins first password is stored to ${JENKINS_HOME}/secrets/initialAdminPassword. You need to wait Jenkins container initialization for accessing this file.
$ while : ; do docker cp jenkins:/var/jenkins_home/secrets/initialAdminPassword . > /dev/null 2>&1 && break sleep 10; done$ cat initialAdminPassword$ rm -f initialAdminPassword
Access the following URL with IP address or hostname of host machine.
https://<ipaddr>
