Jenkins Environment using Docker

See: https://medium.com/@Joachim8675309/jenkins-environment-using-docker-6a12603ebf9

Quick Start (in a nutshell)

Create a directory along with the docker-compose.yml file

mkdir jenkins && cd jenkins/
vim docker-compose.yml

Copy/paste into the docker-compose.yml file and save

version: "2"
services:
  jenkins:
    image: jenkinsci/blueocean
    user: root
    ports:
      - "8080:8080"
      - "8443:8443"
      - "50000:50000"
    volumes:
      - ./jenkins_data:/var/jenkins_home
      ##### Mac OS X and Linux ONLY #####
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock

Install and start the container

docker-compose up -d

Take note of the auto-generated admin password which is displayed during install.

This is just an example of said output:

jenkins_1  | Jenkins initial setup is required. An admin user has been created and a password generated.
jenkins_1  | Please use the following password to proceed to installation:
jenkins_1  |
jenkins_1  | 8b4d313f85674544b695394c40e1be43

Setup/Login via browser using the auto-generated admin password
