Over 2,000 members of the Docker community attended Docker Hack Day events around the world. One of the forty-two Docker Hacks has some familiar names attached…
+ +
Nicolas De Loof and Yoann Dubreuil from Docker Rennes, who are also active in our community, waved the Jenkins flag in this event and produced Jenkins docker agents plugin.
+ +
+ This plugin lets you run builds inside containers, and in that sense it's similar to https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/Docker+Plugin[the Docker plugin] and https://wiki.jenkins.io/display/JENKINS/CloudBees+Docker+Custom+Build+Environment+Plugin[the Docker custom build environment plugin]. But internally it uses a quite interesting approach. +
+ +
+ This fresh new implementation relies on a set of docker containers (aka ‘pod’) to setup a build executor, letting development team customize the build environment for their need without any constraint or prerequisite, and relying on docker containers to host test resources.
+ +
+ This project https://blog.docker.com/2015/09/docker-global-hack-day-3-winners/[won the 3rd place in the Freestyle category of Docker Hack Day]. Congratulations to Nicolas and Yoann on their win! Jenkins + Docker is a winning pair and this plugin will make a huge difference in your projects.
