FAQ

Why not use docker-slaves-plugin?

Two reasons:

1. docker-slaves-plugin executes the docker container on either a globally defined docker URL or a job-specific URL. This plugin instead runs the build on a Jenkins agent and the agent executes in a docker container based that node's docker configuration
2. docker-slaves-plugin doesn't support modifying the docker runtime (required support nvidia-docker)

Do I need to have an NVIDIA GPU on my Jenkins agent to use this plugin?

No, this plugin works without any GPUs. You will be unable to use the nvidia-docker runtime and related settings, but builds will still run on agents and execute with docker.
