I have recently started using jenkins as a CI server. Is there a free jenkins hosting service?
I made a searched on Google, but unfortunately didn't find anything.
Consider a service like travis-ci, which is free for opensource projects. They also offer an enterprise service.
There is also CircleCI, also with an enterprise service.
You can run it locally, especially, it would be easier to run it as a container. Please see this link: https://www.jenkins.io/doc/book/installing/docker/

I'm running the Jenkins as a Docker container on a Virtual Machine on Google Cloud Platform. On the very first screen of setup, I can see that a lot of plugins did not install in my Jenkins server?
Please let me know how to resolve this issue? Is it something due to with the security on the cloud by default which restricts downloading of plugins?

Something similar happened to me when running Jenkins on Docker on my local machine. To get everything to install I had to keep retrying. It took several retries but eventually I got everything installed.
I'm not sure why this is the case. Maybe it fails downloads whose dependencies aren't installed yet?
I have read four tutorials about getting started with Jenkins, and whilst they say it is possible to run Jenkins on the same computer on develops on they also all recommend installing it on a separate one, most commonly a Mac Mini. However: I only own a MacBook Pro; am short on cash; and am only person contributing to my iOS projects currently (I want to learn Jenkins for future client work). So it would be better for me for now to use my MacBook for both purposes.
Whilst I appreciate this is a matter of opinion somewhat, I am wondering what the reason is for the recommendation of separation, and whether I might be able to run Jenkins on the MacBook for now?
Thank you for reading.
The reason it is advised to have a master server and a number of slave server is only valid in company (or big team) environment. It is that build job can be CPU and memory intensive and often many developer starts jobs on the server. In cases like that one machine (being the master and slave server ot once) will be slow. Not only the jobs will take longer to finish, but even the web interface may become unresponsive.
For learning the basic configuration steps one machine is totally enough and you can even run your builds with your Jenkins instance.
I'm not entirely sure what the reason for that is in those tutorials, however, I can suggest an easy way to get started with Jenkins for free (That's how I usually run jenkins for personal use). You can create a free account with one of the Cloud providers like AWS, GCP or Azure and have your jenkins running there. For example, in AWS you can have a 1-year free trial account where you can spin up some free servers. There are many tutorials online, like this one, which will show you step by step of how to get started with Jenkins on AWS. Here are some high-level steps:
Create a free account in AWS (or any other cloud provider)
Spin up an EC2 instance - it can be any linux version or windows, whatever you are more comfortable with
SSH or RDP to the instance and install jenkins - there are exact installation steps for any flavor of your OS out there
Once the installation is complete, you will be able to access jenkins on your browser - in case of AWS, it would be the public ip of the server and default port 8080
I am looking for a simple way to restart IBM Web Application Server from Jenkins. Right now there are two steps involved to restart servers in Jenkins.
Executing shell command
Invoke Ant
I feel that there should be a simpler way than above. Please share your tips, tricks, or tweaks. I do not have access to IBM Web Application Servers. But I do have access to IBM Web Sphere console.
Thanks in advance.
I came to know about Docker concept which seems very interesting.
I have installed Docker on my windows machine using boot2docker, which works as expected.
I have seen many blogs which talks about docker support in OpenShift, wanted to know how well it supports and what are the ways this can be integrated in OpenShift origin/enterprise or online.
In online I am not sure whether it works. Please provide me with details.
it will be really helpful.
Thanks,

The best explanation so far is here https://www.openshift.com/blogs/openshift-v3-platform-combines-docker-kubernetes-atomic-and-more. I'd try to sum it up here in the answer but the article does a better job.
So ive been looking through the init.d scripts and the bashrc file and cannot find where the microconsole binary is started on initial login. Can anyone tell me where it is?
Also, does MCF support running two microconsole instances at a time? My IaaS provider only supports SSH.
I am not entirely sure what you are trying to achieve here. Your trying to host MCF with an IaaS provider? like EC2 for example? If this is the case, I would recommend installing VCAP, MCF is not kept as up to date as the VCAP project.
It's pretty straight forward to install on Ubuntu 10.04, there are instructions on the Github project page, here ... https://github.com/cloudfoundry/vcap
