• Make sure to generate the keys using rsa encryption.

// create new jenkins container with access to the docker socket and data

# docker run -d --name jenkins -p 8080:8080 -p 50000:50000 \ -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \ -v /usr/bin/docker:/usr/bin/docker jenkins/jenkins:lts

// from inside the container give full access to all users to the docker socket

# docker exec -u root -it jenkins bash

	# chmod 777 /var/run/docker.sock
