Vinod Kone commented on BUILDS-25:
----------------------------------
Thanks [~abayer] for the quick turn around on this. If you can let us know when
this is ready (via this ticket or a blog post on infra) I'll be happy to test
it.
> 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 'cd /ws ; 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.
