1.docker is installed on a remote server, jenkins is installed on a local machine, and some docker plugin is downloaded from jenkins, but it failed in configuring the remote docker URL and cannot be connected during testing.
2.
Docker URL should contain a port, for example:
http://114.215.138.254:2375
Here 2375 is the tcp port that docker listens to and is not opened by default. This setting is required (take ubuntu as an example)
1. Modify docker Configuration File
sudo vim /etc/default/docker
Add the following:
DOCKER_OPTS="-H tcp://0.0.0.0:2375 -H unix:///var/run/docker.sock"
2. Restart docker
sudo restart docker
Or ..
sudo service docker restart
2. View docker Port
sudo netstat -ltnp | grep docker tcp6 0 0 :::2375 :::* LISTEN 6112/docker
Warning:It is very unsafe to open the tcp port on which docker listens, and you have exposed the IP address of the host. Please set up a firewall!
