  • confiure /etc/hosts to add local.jenkins.com as a local-domain. (it can be anything, make sure in conf file servername should be same as your local domain name).
  • copy jenkins-docker.conf and paste it on your /etc/apache2/sites-available/ directory.
  • create log directory and required files using sudo mkdir /var/log/apache2/jenkins-docker, sudo touch /var/log/apache2/jenkins-docker/error.log and sudo touch /var/log/apache2/jenkins-docker/access.log.
  • run sudo a2ensite ./jenkins-docker.conf to enable site on apache2.
  • check your config using apachectl -t.
  • restart your apache server.
  • visit your local domain using any browser http://local.jenkins.com, it must redirect to your running jenkins container on docker.
