Here is to how you can install JENKINS through dockerfile for Windows container on Windows 2016.

REQUIREMENTS:

  • Go to the URL https://jenkins.io/download/

  • Scroll down and click on the Windows link

  • It prompts us to download the zip file.

  • Once the download is complete and extracts the MSI from the ZIP file.

PREPARING BUILD ENVIRONMENT:

  • Create a folder named Jenkins in C:\ drive using below command

New-Item -Type Directory -Name jenkins -Path c:\
  • Create one more folder name source inside C:\jenkins folder.

New-Item -Type Directory -Name setup -path C:\jenkins\
  • Create a filename dockerfile inside c:\jenkins folder.

New-Item -Type File -Name dockerfile -Path C:\jenkins\
  • Copy the downloaded jenkins setup file to c:\jenkins\setup folder.

  • Open the dockerfile in the notepad and add the below code and save it.

Here is the DOCKER FILE :


FROM microsoft/windowsservercore                #SPECIFY THE CONTAINER IMAGE
ADD ./setup c:/jenkins                          #COPY THE JENKINS INSTALLATION FILES INTO THE CONTAINER
RUN Powershell.exe -Command Install-WindowsFeature Web-Server           #INSTALLING IIS                  
RUN ["msiexec.exe", "/i", "C:\\jenkins\\jenkins.msi", "/qn"]            #INSTALLING JENKINS

docker build -t jenkins c:\jenkins
  • It will take several minutes to complete the build.

  • Once the container is created, type ipconfig to find the IP address.

  • Browse the IP along with port 8080 from your container host. It prompts for the initial administrator password to configure Jenkins.

  • Type the below command to view the administrator password from the initialadminpassword file.
