Learning Continuous Integration with Jenkins - Second Edition

Running the Jenkins container

Now that we have our Docker host ready, let's run Jenkins:

1. Run the following command to start a Jenkins container. This might take some time, as Docker will try to download the Jenkins Docker image (jenkins/jenkins:lts) from Docker Hub:

        docker run -d --name jenkins_dev -p 8080:8080 \        -p 50000:50000 jenkins/jenkins:lts  

  You should see the following output:

        ...        ...        ... 
        d52829d9da9e0a1789a3117badc862039a0084677be6a771a959d8467b9cc267 

2. The following table explains the Docker command that we used in the previous command:

Parameters	Description
docker	Used to invoke the Docker utility.
