How Do I Laugh At Thee? Let Me Count The Ways...
I hate to admit that I'm resource poor, in the sense that I can't afford to keep running my hardwares for 24x7. Neither can I afford to keep installing a new Linux image (JDK/Maven/Jenkins) every time I find a temporary shelter.
Currently, I have Jenkins/Linux running on an old machine. There were a few attempts to have it "VirtualBoxed" on my old laptop. However, since there is a sad fact about me and my laziness, all attempts ended in failure.
How do I laugh at thee? Let me count the waysI laugh at thee from morning till noon till nightMy soul rants which, when Jenkins s'out of sightFor constant installs take hours to days.
By nature, VirtualBox allows me to move the image between hardwares, but I need something much more than this. I need something that I could bring up on demand, something that I can move the data around, something that is lightweight - and Docker seems to fit the bill!
I was fortunate to have a hands-on experience with Docker at work, coincidentally, after playing around a bit with it in my spare time. At that time, I was looking for possible solutions for my quest on CI/CD.
After spending roughly 2 months, I finally ended up getting Jenkins 1.61 and Redis images running on its own subnet with data directories mounted to host. I had to build my own Redis image as the official Docker image had a few issues when persisting to files. It could be something as easy as disabling persistence which I don't need, but nonetheless, time is ticking and I have to get back to Elwood development!

Below is a diagram of POC:
The proof of concept is very basic, something that's good enough to keep me going and something to iron out when I come back.

Hopefully, when the dust settles, I'll push these images into Docker Hub.

1Why am I using Jenkins as oppose to using Elwood for my build? Elwood is light years behind Jenkins and any mature products out there.
