Provisioning Docker Containers on a Remote Host Using Jenkins Master

[Sujeet Kumar Padhi]

I have Docker Engine installed on an Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Server. I have activated the Docker API as well by making some changes to the config files and I am able to access the APIs.

I have jenkins installed on another Ubuntu 14.04 server.

Can somebody please help me with the steps to build/run images on the remote docker server with the help if Jenkins.
I am not able to find any proper steps or plugin present in Jenkins to run the Docker commands remotely.

Please give more details on what you want to do with this remote machine.

I assume you want to use it as a Jenkins agent to host build, not running on your master node. Then using docker plugin you can configure a "cloud" to access this remote Docker API (with adequate TLS keys registered as credentials) and define an agent template so your builds can allocate a transient build agent on this remote node. You'll need to define a label in this template so your job are configured with this label, and Jenkins knows they are supposed to run here.

Thanks for the reply Nicolas. I am quite new to Devops. It would be very helpful if you can elaborate a little bit about the docker plugin and steps or any blogs/docs i can follow.
