Jenkins Docker Slaves

[nicolas de loof]

Hi folks

during Docker Hack Day, Yoann and I did prototyped a new jenkins plugin, Docker slaves plugin

This plugin uses a docker host (or docker swarm cluster) to host build, only relying on containers, without any constraint (no sshd, no specific user to define), and can also run side containers to host test resources (database, webserver, selenium browser, ...).

Yoann recorded a demo and I published a technical explanation

(hope you'll like our accent)

1.0-beta-1 release is available on experimental update center if you want to give it a try.

From a technical point of view, we had to hack / abuse few jenkins APIs, maybe this exploratory plugin will help to improve them and help jenkins to embrace container paradigm.

Last but not least, as this plugin is proposed for Docker Hack Day, 

we need you to vote for this project 

on https://www.docker.com/community/hackathon

- search for "Jenkins Docker Slaves" and vote on tweeter and/or linkedin and/or Google+

Would be great a jenkins plugin win the docker hack day, don't you think so ?

Cheers,

Nicolas
