[FIXED] jenkins run docker command get permission denied

Issue

i'm new to jenkins. currently i have a jenkins server start by docker with this docker-compose file:

version: '3.7'
services:
  jenkins:
    image: jenkins/jenkins:lts
    privileged: true
    user: root
    ports:
      - 50000:50000
    container_name: jenkins
    volumes:
      - ~/jenkins:/var/jenkins_home
      - /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock
      - /usr/local/bin/docker:/usr/local/bin/docker

then i created a simple pipeline to test the docker inside jenkins. This is the pipeline script:

node {
    stage "Create build output"
   
    sh "docker info"

}

and the error is the message below:

Started by user myuser
Running in Durability level: MAX_SURVIVABILITY
[Pipeline] Start of Pipeline
[Pipeline] node
Running on Jenkins in /var/jenkins_home/workspace/test-pip
[Pipeline] {

+ docker info
/var/jenkins_home/workspace/test-pip@tmp/durable-eb4fd6e4/script.sh: 1: docker: Permission denied
[Pipeline] }
[Pipeline] // node
[Pipeline] End of Pipeline
ERROR: script returned exit code 127
Finished: FAILURE

after checked some other topic, i already done all of these command:

chmod 777 /var/run/docker.sock

sudo usermod -a -G docker $USER

but nothing works. i also install docker plugin for jenkins. After get inside the jenkins container by this command:

docker exec -it 9729efd670b7 /bin/bash

i do the docker command:

docker info

but the console print out command not found:

bash: docker: command not found

does anyone know what should i config to make jenkins run docker? thank you.

Solution

There is some diferent posibilitites to run jenkins into docker, see details in this link.
Basically, there is three solutions :

1. Extend the jenkins image to install docker
2. Mount docker host to docker container
3. Run another image which contains docker-in-docker

In your case, you can use he second solutions, but since each solutions got advantages and inconvenients, you can try another.
Try to change your mount path to match the container path which should be /usr/bin/docker.
