[FIXED] Can't access my Jenkins instance (container via browser)

Issue

this is my docker run command:

docker run -u 0 --privileged --name jenkins -it -d -p 80:80 -p 5000:5000 \
> -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock \
> -v $(which docker):/usr/bin/docker \
> -v /home/jenkins_home:/var/jenkins_home \
> jenkins/jenkins:latest

this is my docker ps result:

CONTAINER ID   IMAGE                    COMMAND                  CREATED          STATUS          PORTS                                                                                               NAMES

Solution

The Jenkins documentation references ports 8080 and 50000.

I suspect (!?) that these are the ports you must use for the container image too.

If you want to use the host's (!) port 80, then you must --publish=80:8080 (since the container exposes 8080).

Or, you can use the same port on the host --port=8080:8080.

You can't change container ports but you can change the ports the containers' ports are mapped to on the host.
