Mounting External Volumes about docker HOT 5 CLOSED

I don't get your question. I deployed this image many times on GCE, just run with a fresh new volume for workspace, then configure jenkins from UI.

from docker.

@ndeloof, is this the official jenkins docker repo found at https://registry.hub.docker.com/_/jenkins/ ? I am experimenting with using this on Kubernetes on Google Container Engine. When I start it on Container Engine it doesn't start when mounted with a volume either from the local machine or an external disk as the jenkins home without first chmod -R 1000 jenkins_home/ the folder.

yes it is.
You indeed need to have the host user owning the volume to match the container userID. This is a docker restriction, nothing we can do here. Read more on https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/docker-user/cVov44ZFg_c/DGqHU4TL8RkJ

Does jenkins have to be run under the jenkins user? Would running it under root user solve this issue? I don't know enough about jenkins to know if that would be safe though, I doubt it.

Running as root is a bad practice, this introduces huge security risks for the host running docker container. I don't think this would be validated by docker team so this commit would be rejected for official docker image.
