• Official Jenkins image to use from Docker Hub

  There are now three different Docker Hub repositories that are or have been used as the "official" Jenkins image. This article aims at providing a clarification about which one is the current official one (as of December 2018 :-)). The official one docker pull jenkins/jenkins i.e. https://hub.docker.com/r/jenkins/jenkins/ is the right repository to use. I also documented some time ago on my blog the recommended way...

• Using the Docker Global Variable in Your Jenkins Pipeline

  More and more today, continuous delivery (CD) pipelines are making use of containers. In many implementations, the primary workflow/orchestration tool for CD pipelines is Jenkins. And the primary container orchestration tool is Docker. Together these two applications provide a powerful, yet simple to understand and use, model for leveraging containers in your CD pipeline. When creating a pipeline script in Jenkins, there are multiple...

• A journey to Kubernetes on Azure

  With the ongoing migration to Azure, I would like to share my thoughts regarding one of the biggest challenges we have faced thus far: orchestrating container infrastructure. Many of the Jenkins project’s applications are run as Docker containers, making Kubernetes a logical choice as far as running our containers, but it presents its own set of challenges. For example, what would the workflow from development to production...

• Official Jenkins LTS docker image

  (This is a guest post from Michael Neale) Recently at the Docker Conference (DockerCon) the Docker Hub was announced. The hub (which includes their image building and storage service) also provides some "official" images (sometimes they call them repositories - they are really just sets of images). So after talking with all sorts of people we decided to create an official Jenkins image...
