Docker & Jenkins Installation

Step1: Open a terminal and run the following command to update your package index:

sudo apt update

Step2: Installing the packages so that system can securely access repositories over HTTPS.

sudo apt install apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl software-properties-common

Here, package name is apt-transport-https

ca-certificates: verifies the authentication of HTTPS. The system needs to trust to the server while downloading the packages.

curl: It is a command line tool to transfer the data with URL. We will download Docker GPG key.

software-properties-common: It manages the repositories.

Once you run above command, you can able to access the Docker repository.

Step3: curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubnutu/gpg | sudo apt-key add -

curl -fsSL → f: Fail silently on server errors, -s: Silent mode, which suppress the progress output, -S: shows an error message, if it fails, -L: Follow redirects, if the URL is redirected to another location

https://download.docker.com/linux/ubnutu/gpg → Docker GPG key is hosted on this link. You need to fetch the key.

apt-key add - → Passes the curl output and gives an input to this command so that it adds the key to the system’s list.

I have run this command on my system but it didn’t work.

ubuntu@ip-172-31-25-118:~$ curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add -

Warning: apt-key is deprecated. Manage keyring files in trusted.gpg.d instead (see apt-key(8)).

OK

ubuntu@ip-172-31-25-118:~$ sudo curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg -o /usr/share/keyrings/docker.gpg → Download the GPG key ad save it into the appropriate directory.

Step4: sudo add-apt-repository “deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com $(lsb_release -cs) stable”

add-apt-repository → adds a repository to the APT source.

This indicates the format for adding a new repository

deb → This indicates the repository that contains the binary packages.

[arch=amd64] → It specifies the architecture of package. amd64 refers to the 64 bit architecture which is common for modern systems.

$(lsb_release -cs) → It substitute the output of lsb_release -cs which returns the codename for Ubuntu distribution (eg, focal for Ubuntu 20.04, jammy for 22.04). This ensures that you will get the correct version of Docker as per your Ubuntu distribution.

stable → It specifies that you want the stable release of docker.

I have run the command but it gives an error

tee: It is a command that reads from standard input and write to both standard output and to the specified file.

sudo tee etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list → It saves the Docker repository in this location

ubuntu@ip-172-31-25-118:~$ echo "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) stable" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/docker.list deb [arch=amd64] Output: https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu noble stable

Step5: sudo apt-get update

Step6: Install the Docker Community edition

sudo apt-get install docker-ce

Step 7: Verify the Docker version

ubuntu@ip-172-31-25-118:~$ docker --version

Output: Docker version 27.3.1, build ce12230

Step8: Verify the status of Docker

ubuntu@ip-172-31-25-118:~$ sudo systemctl status docker

● docker.service - Docker Application Container Engine Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/docker.service; enabled; preset: e> Active: active (running) since Mon 2024-10-14 09:40:27 UTC; 1h 41min ago TriggeredBy: ● docker.socket Docs: https://docs.docker.com Main PID: 5758 (dockerd) Tasks: 9 Memory: 50.0M (peak: 50.2M) CPU: 771ms CGroup: /system.slice/docker.service └─5758 /usr/bin/dockerd -H fd:// --containerd=/run/containerd/cont>

Installing Jenkins:-

Step1: You can install OpenJDK which is a popular version of java

sudo apt-get install openjdk-11-jdk

Step2: After the installation of java, verify the installation

ubuntu@ip-172-31-25-118:~$ java -version

openjdk version "11.0.24" 2024-07-16

OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 11.0.24+8-post-Ubuntu-1ubuntu324.04.1)

Step3: Navigate a directory where you want to install Jenkins package.

ubuntu@ip-172-31-25-118:~/jenkins_setup$

Step4: Use wget to download the latest Jenkins .deb package

wget http://pkg.jenkins.io/debian-stable/binary/jenkins_2.387.1_all.deb

Step5: Once the download is complete, you’ll have a file named something like jenkins_2.387.1_all.deb in your current directory. Now, you can install it using dpkg command.

Note:- We need use to use dpkg command to install any packages in Debian

Step6: sudo systemctl start jenkins → Start the Jenkins

Step7: Check the status

ubuntu@ip-172-31-25-118:~/jenkins_setup$ sudo systemctl status jenkins

● jenkins.service - Jenkins Continuous Integration Server Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/jenkins.service; enabled; preset: enabled) Active: active (running) since Mon 2024-10-14 14:06:50 UTC; 2min 24s ago Main PID: 10744 (java) Tasks: 36 (limit: 1078) Memory: 294.3M (peak: 300.7M) CPU: 1min 30.384s CGroup: /system.slice/jenkins.service └─10744 /usr/bin/java -Djava.awt.headless=true -jar /usr/share/java/jenkins.war --webroot=/var/cache/jenkins/war --httpPort=8080

Eg: Write a script to automate start and stop the Jenkins and Docker services.

Code:

#!/bin/bash

echo "Enter the service you want to manage (docker/jenkins)"

read service

echo "Enter the action (start/stop)"

read action

sudo systemctl $action $service

echo "$service service $action completed"

Output: Consider the jenkin service is stopped

We can also analyze the logs for Docker and Jenkins using journalctl command.

ubuntu@ip-172-31-25-118:~/scripts$ journalctl -u jenkins
