Starting Jenkins in Docker Container
The official Jenkins Docker image documentation says regarding volumes:
docker run -p 8080:8080 -p 50000:50000 -v /your/home:/var/jenkins_home jenkinsThis will store the jenkins data in /your/home on the host. Ensure that /your/home is accessible by the jenkins user in container (jenkins user - uid 1000) or use -u some_other_user parameter with docker run.
This information is also found in the Dockerfile.So all you need to do is to ensure that the directory $PWD/jenkins is own by UID 1000:
mkdir jenkinschown 1000 jenkinsdocker run -d -p 49001:8080 -v $PWD/jenkins:/var/jenkins_home -t jenkins
The newest Jenkins documentation says to use Docker 'volumes'.Docker is kinda tricky on this, the difference between the two is a full path name with the -v option for bind mount and just a name for volumes.
docker run -d -p 49001:8080 -v jenkins-data:/var/jenkins_home -t jenkinsThis command will create a docker volume named "jenkins-data" and you will no longer see the error.
