Jenkins : Docker build step plugin

Created by Unknown User (vjuranek), last modified on Jan 21, 2018

Plugin Information

View docker-build-step on the plugin site for more information.

This plugin allows to add various Docker commands into your job as a build step

If you would like to use Docker for dynamics slave provisioning, you should check this plugin.

Plugin currently support following commands:

  • commit changes in specified container
  • create new container from image
  • create image from Dockerfile
  • create exec command
  • kill container(s)
  • pull image from a repository
  • push image to a repository
  • remove container(s)
  • remove all containers
  • restart container(s)
  • start container(s)
  • stop container(s)
  • stop all containers
  • start/stop all containers created from specified image
  • start exec command

Some commands also export build variables, so that you can easily use them in subsequent build steps.
Variables exported by create and start commands:

  • DOCKER_CONTAINER_IDS - IDs of created/started containers
  • DOCKER_IP_$HOSTNAME - IP of running container with hostname $HOSTNAME

When port binding in set up (in start command), following environment variables are exported:

  • DOCKER_HOST_BIND_PORTS - contains comma separated list of ports to which are bound docker container ports 
  • DOCKER_HOST_PORT_$SCHEMA_$PORT - which docker container port is bound to this port (e.g. DOCKER_HOST_PORT_TCP_80 would contain value 8080 in case that container port 8080 is bound to port 80 on host)
  • DOCKER_HOST_SOCKET_$SCHEMA_$PORT - host IP:PORT to which conatiner $PORT using $SCHEMA is bound. E.g. with following port binding 127.0.0.1:80:8080, container TCP port is 8080 is bound to host port 80 on loopback and DOCKER_HOST_SOCKET_TCP_8080 will contain 127.0.0.1:80.

Known limitations: Commands run without any issue only on master, on remote slaves command execution fails, see JENKINS-24071 for details.

Configuration

You have to make sure that Docker service is running on slaves where you run the build. In Jenkins global configuration, you need to specify Docker REST API URL (typically somethig like http://127.0.0.1:2375) and select build steps you'd like to perform in your job configuration.
