Image with Pre-Installed Recommended Plugins

The following Dockerfile builds an image that contains all recommended plugins, and Jenkins Docker Plugin. The image was configured so plugins and the WAR content will be part of the image, while $JENKINS_HOME is written on an external volume on the host system:

Help

docker run --rm jenkins/jenkins:LTS --help

Run

The following command line assumes that the image was modified to maintain the plugin and WAR directories in custom locations:

docker run --rm -p 8080:8080 -v /var/lib/jenkins:/var/jenkins_home jenkins/jenkins:LTS
