# 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`.

## 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)

Retrieve the initial password with:

|

```bash
|

docker exec -it jenkins-controller cat /var/jenkins_home/secrets/initialAdminPassword

## Initial admin password

Retrieve the initial password:

```bash

docker exec -it jenkins-controller \

cat /var/jenkins_home/secrets/initialAdminPassword
|

```
|
||||
|
||||
## 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`.
|
||||
5. Save.
|
||||
|
||||
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`
|

5. Save

## 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.
