How to create a httpd container in docker through jenkins job?

Question

I need help in creating the container through Jenkins job.

Let me know the steps to be followed: I have already created 3 jobs in Jenkins, and I want to create httpd container through the jobs created.

Should I install any plugins or write any script?

Assuling we are not talking about Jenkins in docker, or Jenkins agents in Docker, you need to create your http container manually first, without Jenkins.

That means:

• validate your SSH access to the remote server
• Check it has Docker installed
• execute docker commands to run an http container, s described in Docker httpd

Once that is working, you can replicate the process in a Jenkins Job, provided your remote server (the one with Docker, where you want to run your httpd container) is declared as agent to the main Jenkins controller.
