docker compose and jenkins

Question

I have a Jenkins job I want to run docker-compose up for a deployment. When I run it I get the error:

[workspace] $ /bin/sh -xe /tmp/hudson5937783564331081987.sh
+ export DOCKER_HOST=tcp://localhost:4243
+ DOCKER_HOST=tcp://localhost:4243
+ /usr/bin/docker-compose up
Couldn't connect to Docker daemon at http://localhost:4243 - is it running?

but when I login as the jenkins user into the ssh, i can run docker-compose up without a problem...Any solution? I tried export DOCKER_HOST=tcp://localhost:4243 without luck.

Answer 1

I had the Sysop do the changes here

then I put in my jenkins job

export DOCKER_HOST=tcp://localhost:4243

Now it works.
