Alright. Now you know how to deploy Jenkins as a Docker container, but we really want to be able to use Jenkins to build Docker images, as we did in the standalone deployment of Jenkins. To do that, we could deploy the same Jenkins image, and exec into it and install Docker and could probably get it to work, but we don't need to go to that much trouble. We're not the first pioneers to go down this road. There are several Docker images that have been created to do just what we are looking to do. One such image is h1kkan/jenkins-docker:lts.

Overview of this book
Docker is an open source software platform that helps you with creating, deploying, and running your applications using containers. This book is your ideal introduction to Docker and containerization.
You will learn how to set up a Docker development environment on a Linux, Mac, or Windows workstation, and learn your way around all the commands to run and manage your Docker images and containers.
You will explore the Dockerfile and learn how to build your own enterprise-grade Docker images. Then you will learn about Docker networks, Docker swarm, and Docker volumes, and how to use these features with Docker stacks in order to define, deploy, and maintain highly-scalable, fault-tolerant multi-container applications.
Finally, you will learn how to leverage Docker with Jenkins to automate the building of Docker images and the deployment of Docker containers. By the end of this book, you will be well prepared when it comes to using Docker for your next project.
