ansible_role-jenkins_docker_base

This role sets up the basic requirements for customer containers that work with the kubernetes plugin for Jenkins slaves. It also supports sudo permissions because the jenkins user is typically used in the container.

Note: When creating the Docker image, make sure to set USER: jenkins to define the user that runs the container.

Requirements
