How to find “Docker Host URI” to be used in Jenkins “Docker Plugin”?

Question

Is there any command which we can run and find out the \"Docker Host URI\"? I found some of related questions but didn\'t get it exactly.

Answer 1

If your docker running at the same host were you use Jenkins inside a container than you can use unix:///var/run/docker.sock as the “Docker Host URI”, but you must check & obtain the permissions for jenkins user by using:

sudo groupadd docker
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
sudo chmod a+rwx /var/run/docker.sock
sudo chmod a+rwx /var/run/docker.pid
