Given a slave means both the agent plus all the bits you want for your build - would be hard to be totally generic, right? or would your build steps install things as needed inside a container based on this? (maybe I misunderstand). Note it is possible to have docker in docker - so you could have a generic slave container connect to the master, but the build step actually start a build specific container inside the slave (and then bind mount in the workspace, run the build in that environment). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Developers" group.
