Install Jenkins with Docker-Compose¶

Learn how to install Jenkins using Docker Compose.

1. Create docker-compose.yml

   docker-compose.yml

   version: '3.8'
   services:
     jenkins:
       image: jenkins/jenkins:jdk11
       restart: always
       privileged: true
       user: root
       ports:
         - '8081:8080'
         - '50000:5000'
       container_name: jenkins_jdk11
       volumes:
         - ~/Desktop/self-hosted/jenkins_home:/var/jenkins_home
         - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
   

   • You can map /var/jenkins_home to any local location you liked

2. Start docker-compose.yml as background

   Bash

   docker-compose up -d
   

3. Verify Jenkins container service

   Bash

   docker-compose ps
   

4. Get the Jenkins admin password

   Bash
