I found another plugin, CloudBees Docker Custom Build Environment plugin from same author. This plugin also looks abandoned and is marked for adoption, but it actually looks to be pretty close to what I need. It just lacks pipeline support from what I can tell. And possibly a way to define a named volume as jenkins home instead of a host mount in order to support a jenkins slave running in a sibling container.
Any advice? /Jacob Den fredag den 26. maj 2017 kl. 00.08.23 UTC+2 skrev Jacob Larsen: > > Does anybody know what will happen to the Docker Slaves plugin?
