Jenkins Docker-in-Docker Agent

A simple Docker image for running a Jenkins agent with its very own contained Docker daemon. This is useful if you're trying to run Jenkins agents on a Mesos cluster, and you also want to build and push Docker images with Jenkins agents.

Usage

Command line

Try it out locally by running the following command:

docker run --privileged beedemo/jenkins-dind-agent \
  wrapper.sh "java -version && docker run hello-world"

Jenkins

You'll need to configure the Mesos plugin on your Jenkins master to use this image. You'll probably also want to give it a special slave label, so that you don't unnecessarily run builds using the dind image. A relevant snippet of the Mesos plugin within the Jenkins master's config.xml follows:

<org.jenkinsci.plugins.mesos.MesosSlaveInfo>
  <slaveCpus>0.2</slaveCpus>
  <slaveMem>512</slaveMem>
  <executorCpus>0.1</executorCpus>
  <maxExecutors>2</maxExecutors>
  <executorMem>128</executorMem>
