Jenkins in Docker Git Plugin allow local checkout - jenkins

Question

This same question was asked but not with jenkins in a Docker container
Jenkins: allow local checkout
I had jenkins running in a docker container and was able to execute pipeline jobs with no problem.
After installing the container recently on a new machine I'm getting:
ERROR: Checkout of Git remote 'file:///usr/src/' aborted because it references a local directory, which may be insecure. You can allow local checkouts anyway by setting the system property 'hudson.plugins.git.GitSCM.ALLOW_LOCAL_CHECKOUT' to true.
ERROR: Maximum checkout retry attempts reached, aborting
Finished: FAILURE
I tried this script in init.d
import jenkins.model.Jenkins
import java.util.logging.LogManager
/* Jenkins home directory */
def jenkinsHome = Jenkins.instance.getRootDir().absolutePath
def logger = LogManager.getLogManager().getLogger("")
/* Replace the Key and value with the values you want to set.*/
/* System.setProperty(key, value) */
System.setProperty("hudson.plugins.git.GitSCM.ALLOW_LOCAL_CHECKOUT", "true")
logger.info("Jenkins Startup Script: set GitSCM.ALLOW_LOCAL_CHECKOUT to true . Script location : ${jenkinsHome}/init.groovy.d ")
I tried this inside the docker container
jenkins#3d5e0ebf919e:/$ java -D"hudson.plugins.git.GitSCM.ALLOW_LOCAL_CHECKOUT=true" -jar /usr/share/jenkins/jenkins.war
Running from: /usr/share/jenkins/jenkins.warns.git.GitSCM.ALLOW_LOCAL_CHECKOUT=true" -jar /usr/share/jenkins/jenkins.war

COPY init.groovy.d/dev/*.groovy /usr/share/jenkins/ref/init.groovy.d/
VOLUME /var/jenkins_home
Still the problem exists:
Any ideas to fix this?
Any way to make my git directory not "a local directory"?

Answer 1

I just stumbled on this problem too. Based on this answer, you just need to add the env variable when starting the container.
docker run ... --env JAVA_OPTS="-Dhudson.plugins.git.GitSCM.ALLOW_LOCAL_CHECKOUT=true"

Answer 2

The answer for me was in the init.groovy.d/dev/jobs.groovy file
After this line:
def scm = new GitSCM("file:///usr/src/");
I added this line
scm.ALLOW_LOCAL_CHECKOUT=true

Answer 3

Your ENV JAVA_OPTS are overwriting each other. Try putting them on the same line.
ENV JAVA_OPTS -Dhudson,plugins.git.GitSCM.ALLOW_LOCAL_CHECKOUT=true -Djenkins.install.runSetupWizard=false
The reason I say that is I added the below to my dockerfile and it works great.
ENV JAVA_OPTS -Dhudson,plugins.git.GitSCM.ALLOW_LOCAL_CHECKOUT=true
