Question about command to execute when running Jenkins image












2














I have questions while using the Jenkins image to check the commands to run the container and leave a question.



I ran the following command.



docker run 
-u root
--rm
-p 8080:8080
--name jenkins
-v /Users/newbie/jenkins:/var/jenkins_home
-v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
jenkins:lts


What does ' : ' and ' -v ' mean in -v /Users/newbie/jenkins:/var/jenkins_home on line 6?

          -v = Bind mount a volume. See this



          It mounts /Users/newbie/jenkins directory on your host to /var/jenkins_home on your container
