Jenkins

Authentication

For Jenkins, you can use project or user access tokens for authenticating your build with Depot. We recommend using project tokens as they are scoped to a specific project and owned by the organization.

Note: The CLI looks for the DEPOT_TOKEN environment variable by default. For both token options, you should configure this variable for your build environment via global credentials.

Project token

You can inject project access tokens into the Pipeline environment for depot CLI authentication. These tokens are tied to a specific project in your organization and not a user.

User access token

It is also possible to generate a user access token to inject into the Pipeline environment for depot CLI authentication. This token is tied to a specific user and not a project. Therefore, it can be used to build all projects across all organizations that the user can access.

Configuration

To build a Docker image from Jenkins, you must set the DEPOT_TOKEN environment variable in your global credentials. You can do this through the UI for your Pipeline via Manage Jenkins > Manage Credentials.

In addition, you must also install the depot CLI before you run depot build.

pipeline {
  agent any
 
  environment {
    DEPOT_TOKEN = credentials('depot-token')
  }
 
  stages {
    stage('Build') {
      steps {
        sh 'curl -L https://depot.dev/install-cli.sh | DEPOT_INSTALL_DIR=/usr/local/bin sh'
        sh 'depot build .'
      }
    }
  }
}

Examples

Build multi-platform images natively without emulation in Jenkins

This example shows how you can use the --platform flag to build a multi-platform image for Intel and Arm architectures natively without emulation.

pipeline {
  agent any
 
  environment {
    DEPOT_TOKEN = credentials('depot-token')
  }
 
  stages {
    stage('Build') {
      steps {
        sh 'curl -L https://depot.dev/install-cli.sh | DEPOT_INSTALL_DIR=/usr/local/bin sh'
        sh 'depot build --platform linux/amd64,linux/arm64 .'
      }
    }
  }
}

Build and push to Docker Hub

This example installs the depot CLI to be used directly in the pipeline. Then, docker login is invoked with the environment variables for DOCKERHUB_USERNAME and DOCKERHUB_TOKEN for the authentication context of the build to push to the registry.

pipeline {
  agent any
 
  environment {
    DEPOT_TOKEN = credentials('depot-token')
    DOCKERHUB_USERNAME = credentials('dockerhub-username')
    DOCKERHUB_TOKEN = credentials('dockerhub-token')
  }
 
  stages {
    stage('Build') {
      steps {
        sh 'curl -L https://depot.dev/install-cli.sh | DEPOT_INSTALL_DIR=/usr/local/bin sh'
        sh 'docker login --username $DOCKERHUB_USERNAME --password $DOCKERHUB_TOKEN'
        sh 'depot build -t <your-registry>:<your-tag> --push .'
      }
    }
  }
}

Build and push to Amazon ECR

This example installs the depot and aws CLIs to be used directly in the pipeline. Then, aws ecr get-login-password is piped into docker login for the authentication context of the build to push to the registry.

pipeline {
  agent any
 
  environment {
    DEPOT_TOKEN = credentials('depot-token')
    DOCKERHUB_USERNAME = credentials('dockerhub-username')
    DOCKERHUB_TOKEN = credentials('dockerhub-token')
  }
 
  stages {
    stage('Build') {
      steps {
        sh 'curl -L https://depot.dev/install-cli.sh | DEPOT_INSTALL_DIR=/usr/local/bin sh'
        sh 'curl "https://awscli.amazonaws.com/awscli-exe-linux-x86_64.zip" -o "awscliv2.zip"'
        sh 'unzip awscliv2.zip'
        sh 'aws ecr get-login-password --region <your-ecr-region> | docker login --username AWS --password-stdin <your-ecr-registry>'
        sh 'depot build -t <your-ecr-registry>:<your-tag> --push .'
      }
    }
  }
}

Build and load the image back into the Pipeline for testing

You can download the built container image into the workflow using the --load flag.

pipeline {
  agent any
 
  environment {
    DEPOT_TOKEN = credentials('depot-token')
  }
 
  stages {
    stage('Build') {
      steps {
        sh 'curl -L https://depot.dev/install-cli.sh | DEPOT_INSTALL_DIR=/usr/local/bin sh'
        sh 'depot build --load .'
      }
    }
  }
}

Build, push, and load the image back in one command

You can simultaneously push the built image to a registry and load it back into the CI job using the --load and --push flags together.

pipeline {
  agent any
 
  environment {
    DEPOT_TOKEN = credentials('depot-token')
  }
 
  stages {
    stage('Build') {
      steps {
        sh 'curl -L https://depot.dev/install-cli.sh | DEPOT_INSTALL_DIR=/usr/local/bin sh'
        sh 'depot build -t <your-registry> --load --push .'
      }
    }
  }
}
