Docker Pipeline plugin communicate with non-default docker server

Question

By default, the docker pipeline plugin communicates with the local docker daemon. How do i make it communicate with a non-default docker server, something like Docker Swarm?

Hi @Kim, yes you can. You can use the withServer() function for this. Use it in a similar manner

node {
    checkout scm


    docker.withServer('tcp://swarm.example.com:2376', 'swarm-certs') {
        docker.image('mysql:5').withRun('-p 3306:3306') {
            /* do things */
        }
    }
}
