to create docker container from docker image we use docker run -itd command

Verify The Docker Container

root@ip-172-31-37-35:~# docker ps
CONTAINER ID        IMAGE                 COMMAND                  CREATED             STATUS              PORTS                               NAMES
804aac9d96f9        jenkins/jenkins:lts   "/sbin/tini -- /usr/…"   7 minutes ago       Up 7 minutes        50000/tcp, 0.0.0.0:8081->8080/tcp   xenodochial_kepler

using docker ps command we can verify, is the Jenkins docker container running or not. you can see the created and status both are from 7 minutes.

Access Jenkins in the Browser

in the docker Jenkins container Jenkins will run on 8080 port, so we have to map Jenkins docker container port with host server port, in the above command we mapped host server port 8081 with Jenkins docker container port 8080, so we can access jenkins on host server 8081 port.

To access jenkins in the browser enter publicip:8081
