Hi

Just wondering what the status of the Docker Slaves Plugin ( https://github.com/jenkinsci/docker-slaves-plugin ) is? 

Last commit was 7 months ago and there's a couple of PRs open on it that have been open a while too.

Reason I ask is that I'm looking to start using it in anger on our team's Jenkins instances but want to understand the "support" situation first :)

Added Nicolas and Yoann to Cc. The plugin is not marked for adoption, so probably they have some plans about it.

Hi Richard,

We indeed aren't very active on this plugin, due to various other business activity
There's various aspect of this plugin that we want to improve, most significant one being to fabric8io/docker-client as a client library so we don't have to use external docker CLI to interact with Docker host. 

As you can see, this is mostly a plumbing effort, that might result in some 2.x. From user I know who use this plugin, they're just happy with the provided feature

Thanks Nicolas - quite understand that things take time away from having much time to work on things.

Just as a FYI I've been making a few tweaks/fixes to meet my use-cases and I'm trying to get sign-off from the powers that be to be able to share them back. Assuming the sign-off comes I'll be creating a few PRs against the project which hopefully the wider community will find useful.

Cheers
Richard.

cool. Can you at least share your use-case so we understand the impacts ?

Maybe use-case wasn't quite the right word for me to use as it sounds a bit too grand for the changes made :)

However the changes I made were to make it so that you could, on failure, not remove the build containers for debug purposes etc., fixed a bug where it seemed to be trying to remove the containers twice (not sure if that was brought on by my change or not), and fixed another bug where you couldn't write to the Jenkins home directory in the containers (I think there's a Jenkins issue for that one but can't remember the number)
