Jenkins and Docker

[Tibbs]

I'm sorry if this has been asked before but I am new to both Jenkins and virtualised containers and couldn't find something related to my question.

Can anyone tell me if I need Docker in order to use Jenkins? I am slightly puzzled by Jenkins documentation saying the you need to have Docker properly installed ( https://jenkins.io/doc/book/getting-started/installing/#docker ).

I installed Jenkins on my local pc without Docker. How would Docker help here? Is it really needed?

Thanks.

The chapter you refer to is about running Jenkins as a docker container. If you used another installation process, just ignore

That being said, docker is a nice complement to jenkins, and is used in various samples in documentation, including Declarative Pipeline. So I recommend you install it so you're not limited in your newcomer experience (install docker4mac/windows, it's just about few clicks)
