Run the following commands in your terminal to install and set up Jenkins using Docker:
docker --version # Check Docker version
docker pull jenkins/jenkins:lts # Pull the latest stable Jenkins image
docker images # List downloaded Docker images
docker run --detach --publish 8090:8080 --volume jenkins_home:/var/jenkins_home --name jenkins jenkins/jenkins:lts # Run Jenkins on localhost:8090
docker run -u 0 -d --net=host -v /home/jenkins/home:/var/jenkins_home -v /home/jenkins/root:/root jenkins/jenkins # Optional alternative setup
After running the container, retrieve the initial admin password using the command below:
docker exec jenkins cat /var/jenkins_home/secrets/initialAdminPassword # Retrieve initial admin password
Open your browser and go to localhost:8080, then enter the initial admin password to complete the setup.
