Introduction

In the following repo you will find a basic example of how to deploy jenkins with nginx as reverse proxy using docker with docker-compose

First

• Install docker
• Install docker-compose

Steps

• Clone the git repo

$ git clone https://github.com/raanglada/jenkins.git

• create the paths needed, you can change it in docker-compose.yaml file

$ mkdir -p /opt/jenkins/data

• update the configurations for nginx, see nginx/nginx.conf file

• build the image

$ docker-compose build

• execute the compose

$ docker-compose up -d

After compose is up

• 'docker ps' or 'docker-compose ps' to see containers and details
• go to http://ip-machine-or-domain.com/ to start the configuration of jenkins

Important

• Remember this is a basic example, for production you need to apply several best practices not applied in this example like:
• • add a system service to start the containers when the machine start, if not, you will have to start it manually.
• • configure ssl certs.
• • automate regular backups of the relevant data of jenkins
