useltmann/jenkins-slave-nodejs repository overview

⁠jenkins-slave-nodejs

⁠what it does

This image can be started as jenkins build-node. In the jenkins-webfrontend, just

• add a new node
• label it according to the jobs it has to build and adjust its settings to your needs
• set the startmethod to start agent by executing command on master-node
• set the start command to something like the following:

docker run --rm -i -v /data/docker/jenkins-slave-nodejs/home:/home/node:z -v /data/docker/jenkins-slave-nodejs/workspace:/jenkins:Z docker.io/useltmann/jenkins-slave-nodejs

this starts a container from this image and binds two folders from the docker-host to the container

⁠whats inside

• bases on debian-jessie, installed openjdk-8-jre from jessie-backports
• exposes port 3000, use it or not
• defines two volumes, bind them to your docker-host for reuse upon container-runs:
  • /home/node will be the home-folder of the task running user
  • /jenkins will be the path where jenkins put the workspace
• contains slave-jar, downloaded from https://jenkins-host/jnlpJars/slave.jar
• start.sh ownes /home/node and /jenkins to user node and starts the slave.jar as user node
