I've got a jenkins declarative pipeline build that runs gradle and uses a gradle plugin to create a docker image. I'm also using a dockerfile agent directive, so the entire thing runs inside a docker container. This was working great with jenkins itself installed in docker (I know, that's a lot of docker). I had jenkins installed in a docker container on docker for mac, with -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock (DooD) per https://jpetazzo.github.io/2015/09/03/do-not-use-docker-in-docker-for-ci/. With this setup, the pipeline docker agent ran fine, and the docker build command within the pipeline docker agent ran fine as well. I assumed jenkins also mounted the docker socket on its inner docker container.
Now I'm trying to run this on jenkins installed on an ec2 instance with docker installed properly. The jenkins user has the docker group as its primary group. The jenkins user is able to run "docker run hello-world" successfully. My pipeline build starts the docker agent container (based on the gradle image with various things added) but when gradle attempts to run the docker build command, I get the following:
* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':docker'.
> Docker execution failed
Command line [docker build -t config-server:latest /var/lib/****/workspace/nfig-server_feature_****-HRUNPR3ZFDVG23XNVY6SFE4P36MRY2PZAHVTIOZE2CO5EVMTGCGA/build/docker] returned:
Cannot connect to the Docker daemon. Is the docker daemon running on this host?
Is it possible to build docker images inside a docker agent using declarative pipeline?
Yes, it is.
The problem is not with Jenkins' declarative pipeline, but how you're setting up and running things.
From the error above, looks like there's a missing permission which needs to be granted.
Maybe if you share what your configuration looks like and how your're running things, more people can help.

I have been playing around with Jenkins, and I'm now able to connect github and set triggers. I want to build my code using make and docker, however when i execute make or docker in the shell, they are not found. How do I configure Jenkins' build step to run make and docker
I would install make and the docker daemon on your Jenkins server. This will allow you to build and push docker images from within your Jenkins build pipelines using the Executable Shell Build task. You will also be able to run make commands there as well.
docker build -t <USER>/<REPO_NAME>:<TAG> .
docker push <USER>/<REPO_NAME>:<TAG>
There are also Jenkins plugins available for building your docker images too.
I would NOT recommend running Jenkins using a Docker container, then running Docker inside that container. This is known as Docker in Docker(aka. DinD), and should be avoided for the reasons stated in this article.
You can install Docker on the same machine where your jenkins is running.
Or you can run a docker container which contains both jenkins and docker.
If you purpose is to learn jenkins, I suggest running Jenkins within a docker and Docker daemon on your host machine.
just have Docker installed on your host machine.
then issue the command which runs
docker run \
--rm -u root -p 8080:8080 -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock --name myjenkinsserver jenkinsci/blueocean
then you are ready to go.
add a pipeline job as follows:
pipeline {
agent { docker 'gcc:latest' }
stages {
stage('build') {
steps {
sh 'make --version'
}
}
}
}
now you can run make commands.
In general, it is better to run jenkins jobs on Jenkins slave machines or in other terms, Jenkins agents. You can create custom Jenkins agents which include necessary tools, in your case, such as make.
I have a jenkins pipeline script which creates the Docker image and deploys it to the docker hub. I have installed the docker plugin but it complains about "docker command not found". I am not sure if I need to install docker in the same machine or something else need to happen?
Yes you have to install docker on the slave machine which is running that pipeline script of docker plugin. I would suggest adding a label docker to the slave that has docker installed and then use the pipeline script as:
node('docker') {
...
}
I'm using Docker Pipeline Plugin version 1.10.
I have my Jenkins installed in a container. I have a remote server that runs a Docker daemon. The daemon is reachable from the Jenkins machine via TCP (tested). I disabled TLS security on the Docker daemon.
I'm not able to make the docker.withServer(...) step work.
As a basic test I simply put following content in a Jenkinsfile (if I'm correct this is a valid pipeline content):
docker.withServer('tcp://my.docker.host:2345') {
def myImage = docker.build('myImage')
}
When the pipeline executes I get this error: script.sh: line 2: docker: command not found like the docker command was still trying to execute locally (there is no docker command installed locally) rather than on my remote Docker daemon.
Am I missing anything ? Is it required to have the docker command installed locally when trying to execute Docker commands on a remote server..?
have you tried
withDockerServer('tcp://my.docker.host:2345') {
.....
}
Documentation here
docker needs to be installed on jenkins master in order for jenkins to be able to launch the docker on my.docker.host.
the first docker command runs on jenkins master, but with a parameter to pass the command to my.docker.host
the container itself will then run on my.docker.host
Note that you only need to install docker on the jenkins master; the daemon does not need to be running on jenkins master.
Check if you have set up port correctly. Default port for daemon is 2375. It has to be checked on both docker daemon (option -H 0.0.0.0:2375) and on the jenkins client
I am currently experimenting with Docker in combination with Jenkins to streamline the CI/CD workflow for a new project. I do so on a Mac with Docker 1.12 installed.
This is what I do:
Use docker machine to create a new Docker server
Use the official Jenkins Docker image to spin up a Jenkins instance on that server
Install the "Yet Another Docker Plugin" and "CloudBees Docker Pipeline" plugins.
Add a "Docker Cloud" using the IP of the Docker server above and the third party Docker DinD image tehranian/dind-jenkins-slave
With this setup, I run a very simple pipeline job like this:
node('docker') {
docker.image('hseeberger/scala-sbt').inside {
stage 'Checkout'
echo 'We got here!'
}
}
Jenkins spins up a Docker instance as expected and executes the job. So the basic Docker setup is working as expected.
But the Docker command within the job fails. Log output looks something like this:
[Pipeline] node
Still waiting to schedule task
Docker-23ebf3d8dd4f is offline
Running on Docker-23ebf3d8dd4f in /home/jenkins/workspace/docker-test
[Pipeline] {

+ docker inspect -f . hseeberger/scala-sbt
Cannot connect to the Docker daemon. Is the docker daemon running on this host?
[Pipeline] sh

Using default tag: latest
Warning: failed to get default registry endpoint from daemon (Cannot connect to the Docker daemon. Is the docker daemon running on this host?). Using system default: https://index.docker.io/v1/
Cannot connect to the Docker daemon. Is the docker daemon running on this host?
[Pipeline] }
[Pipeline] // node
[Pipeline] End of Pipeline
Now when I browse around for solutions, it is usually mentioned that the Docker socket needs to be provided to the container as a volume, but that doesn't seem to work either.
Since the general setup seems to be working, wouldn't the slave simply have to do the same thing as the Jenkins plugin does to spin up the Docker slave in the first place? That is, use the URL of the Docker server to control it? Since I assume this is an extremely common use-case, there must be a Docker image for Jenkins Docker slaves that can do this out of the box, right? What am I missing?
You might need to set the docker env and use the content of docker-machine env node in your running shellscript.
I want to run a docker image create command from a Jenkins job which is running native on my machine with VM running Docker.
I've installed docker build step plugin and in manage Jenkins page command fails when I try to configure docker using url and version, it says:
Test Connection Something went wrong, cannot connect to
http://192.168.99.100:2376, cause: null
I've got this docker url from the docker-machine env command.
In the version field, I tried both REST API version and Docker version, but no success.
Is it possible to call Docker from outside the docker VM and from a Jenkins job? If yes how to configure it in Jenkins?
