# Jenkins (Controller + Docker Agent) Setup (Docker Compose)
# Jenkins Controller + Docker Agent (Docker Compose)
This directory contains a minimal Jenkins setup using a dedicated **controller** and a separate inbound **agent** intended for Docker-based workloads.
This directory contains a minimal Jenkins setup running as Docker containers:
- `jenkins-controller`: Jenkins UI + configuration (no builds should run here).
- `jenkins-agent-docker`: inbound agent used for Docker-based pipelines (label: `docker-agent`).
The goal is to keep the controller responsible for orchestration and configuration, while all builds run on the agent labeled `docker`.
The goal is to keep the controller responsible for orchestration/configuration while all CI jobs run on the dedicated agent.
## Prerequisites
- Docker Engine installed on the host
- Docker Compose available as `docker compose`
- A host directory `/opt/shagram` (used by pipelines as a shared location for source code and deployment files)

Jenkins UI will be available at:

### Initial admin password
Retrieve the initial password with:
```bash
docker exec -it jenkins-controller cat /var/jenkins_home/secrets/initialAdminPassword
```text

## Disable builds on the built-in node (Executors = 0)
## Initial admin password
Retrieve the initial password:
```bash
docker exec -it jenkins-controller \

```
## Disable builds on the controller
To ensure builds do not run on the controller:
1. Open Jenkins UI.
2. Go to: `Manage Jenkins``Manage Nodes and Clouds`.
3. Open: `Built-In Node``Configure`.
4. Set **Number of executors** to `0`.

## Create an inbound agent node (docker-agent)
## Configure the inbound agent node
Create a dedicated node for running pipelines:
1. Go to: **Manage Jenkins → Manage Nodes and Clouds → New Node**
1. `Manage Jenkins``Manage Nodes and Clouds``New Node`.
2. Set:
- **Node name**: `docker-agent`
- **Type**: Permanent Agent
- **Remote root directory**: `/home/jenkins/agent`
- **Labels**: `docker`
- **Usage**: Only build jobs with label expressions matching this node
3. Save
- Node name: `docker-agent`
- Type: `Permanent Agent`
- Remote root directory: `/home/jenkins/agent`
- Labels: `docker-agent` (must match your Jenkinsfile `agent { label ... }`)
- Usage: Only build jobs with label expressions matching this node
3. Save.
After saving, open the agent page:
- `Manage Nodes and Clouds``docker-agent`
- **Manage Nodes and Clouds → docker-agent**
On that page Jenkins will show the inbound connection details, including the **secret** required by the inbound agent container.
On that page, Jenkins provides the inbound connection details, including the **secret** required by the inbound agent container.
## Set agent secret in Compose
Edit `infra/jenkins/compose.yaml` and replace the placeholder with the real secret value shown on the `docker-agent` node page:
## Configure the agent secret in Compose
Edit `infra/jenkins/compose.yaml` and replace:
- `JENKINS_SECRET=PASTE_ME`
- `JENKINS_SECRET=__PASTE_ME__`
with the real secret value shown on the `docker-agent` node page.
Restart only the agent container:
Then restart only the agent container:
```bash
docker compose up -d --force-recreate jenkins-agent-docker
docker logs -f jenkins-agent-docker
```
## Verification
- In Jenkins UI: **Manage Nodes and Clouds**, the node `docker-agent` should be **Online**
- Any pipeline using `agent { label 'docker' }` should execute on this agent
Verification:
- In Jenkins UI, the node `docker-agent` should become **Online**.
- Any pipeline using `agent { label 'docker-agent' }` should execute on this agent.
## Security note
The Docker agent container mounts `/var/run/docker.sock`, which effectively grants high-level control over the Docker host. Use this setup only in trusted environments and limit access to Jenkins accordingly.
