Concepts

Docker Agent

Jenkins can interact with agents executing as containers within a Docker instance. The agent containers must be based on one of the following base images:

jenkins/ssh-slave

https://hub.docker.com/r/jenkins/ssh-slave/

The image comes with sshd and a JDK. The Jenkins master will use ssh to connect into the agent's sshd. A SSH key based on unique Jenkins master instance identity can be injected in container on startup, obviating the need for password.

jenkins/jnlp-slave
