Start jenkins using container

The procedure to setup a jenkins server using docker container

1. Create the following directory, assume you are at your home directory:

$ mkdir -p ~/jenkins/jenkins_home

2. Run the following command to start up the git server:

docker run -d -p 9090:8080 -p 50000:50000 \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  -v ~/jenkins/jenkins_home:/var/jenkins_home \
  --name jenkins jenkins/jenkins:lts

Now your server is running at the port 9090. Use the following url to access its UI.
    http://<hostip>:9090

The first time access it, you will have to find the initial admin pw and do the setup. All the jenkins files will be at ~/jenkins/jenkins_home

You can then add that host as the jenkins slave to start run your jobs.
