How to build Docker images for Windows in Jenkins

Question

I do have a Jenkins instance running in a Linux machine. I would also like to build Docker Images (Windows containers). I was not able to find an example anywhere.

Answer 1

I've found out there is a plugin for Jenkins that is able to interact with cloud/remote Docker installations. https://plugins.jenkins.io/docker-plugin/

You just need to enable remote acces in the Docker Daemon Configuration as below and configure the plugin to use this installation as a its builder.

{
  "registry-mirrors": [],
  "insecure-registries": [],
  "debug": true,
  "experimental": false,
  "hosts": [
    "tcp://0.0.0.0:2375"
  ]
}
