Install jenkins using dockerfile on Ubuntu

Question

Instead of pulling a jenkins image from the dockerhub, I wish to create it using the dockerfile. How can I do this?

Answer 1

Here's the dockerfile that you can use:

FROM jenkins:latest
USER root
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y build-essential
USER jenkins

You can then build this image using docker image build command.

docker image build [OPTIONS] PATH | URL of your dockerfile

After building the image, run it using docker run command.
