Continuous Delivery with Docker and Jenkins

By: Rafał Leszko

Overview of this book

The combination of Docker and Jenkins improves your Continuous Delivery pipeline using fewer resources. It also helps you scale up your builds, automate tasks and speed up Jenkins performance with the benefits of Docker containerization. This book will explain the advantages of combining Jenkins and Docker to improve the continuous integration and delivery process of app development. It will start with setting up a Docker server and configuring Jenkins on it. It will then provide steps to build applications on Docker files and integrate them with Jenkins using continuous delivery processes such as continuous integration, automated acceptance testing, and configuration management. Moving on you will learn how to ensure quick application deployment with Docker containers along with scaling Jenkins using Docker Swarm. Next, you will get to know how to deploy applications using Docker images and testing them with Jenkins. By the end of the book, you will be enhancing the DevOps workflow by integrating the functionalities of Docker and Jenkins.

Using names in Docker

So far, when we operated on the containers, we always used autogenerated names. This approach has some advantages, such as the names being unique (no naming conflicts) and automatic (no need to do anything). In many cases, however, it's better to give a real user-friendly name for the container or the image.

Naming containers

There are two good reasons to name the container: convenience and the possibility of automation:

  • Convenience, because it's simpler to make any operations on the container addressing it by name than checking the hashes or the autogenerated name
  • Automation, because sometimes we would like to depend on the specific naming of the container

For example, we would like to have...
