[FIXED] Docker Containers as Jenkins Slave

Issue

I want to know are the following scenarios possible , please help me out:-

Scenario 1:-

I have my local system as a Jenkins Master and Every time I need A slave to run my automation test script , a docker container spins up as a Jenkins slave and my script is executed on the slave and after the execution is completed the container is destroyed .

Is this possible . I want to keep my local system as the Jenkins master .

Scenario 2:-

Can i spin up multiple containers as the Jenkins slave for local system as a Jenkins master.

Thanks

Solution

Scenario 1 is at least covered by the JENKINS/Kubernetes Plugin: see its README

Based on the Scaling Docker with Kubernetes article, automates the scaling of Jenkins agents running in Kubernetes.

But that requires a Kubernetes setup, which means, in your case (if you have only one machine), a minikube.
