In this article, I introduced how to setup a docker-host based Jenkins slave step by step from installing docker. It includes some trick of how to run docker with parameters.

    apt-transport-https \
    ca-certificates \
    curl \

$ sudo apt-key fingerprint 0EBFCD88

$ sudo add-apt-repository \
   "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \
   $(lsb_release -cs) \
   stable"

$ sudo apt-get update
