Roman Shaposhnik created BUILDS-25:
--------------------------------------
Summary: please consider providing Docker on Jenkins slaves
Key: BUILDS-25
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BUILDS-25
Project: Infra Build Platform
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Jenkins
Reporter: Roman Shaposhnik
Docker (https://www.docker.com/) provides a very powerful set of tools around
extremely lightweight container environments. This is extremely useful in
situations where builds need to be performed in presence of certain
system-level build dependencies and on different flavors of Linux.
With Docker, one can simply execute the following command as an entry point
into a build script:
{noformat}
docker run -v `pwd`:/ws $DOCKER_IMAGE bash -c 'make foo'
{noformat}
and not require pollution of Jenkins slaves with system dependencies and
installation of new slaves. E.g. DOCKER_IMAGE=fedora would give you the latest
fedora build environment.
It would be extremely useful to provide Docker service on ASF build slaves.
Please let me know how can I help.
