Docker image of maven returns this error - could not create local repository

Question

I’m a new bee to Jenkins and Docker, and I’m facing a problem trying to get a docker image of maven to build my project.

My Jenkins script is as follows:

pipeline {

agent {

docker {

image 'maven:3-alpine'

args '-v /root/.m2:/root/.m2'

}

}

stages {

stage('Build') {

steps {

sh 'mvn -B -DskipTests clean install'

}

}

}

}

This results in the following error:

"Could not create local repository at /var/empty/.m2/repository".

Answer 1

Instead of mounting the root/.m2 folder to the container, you can just run as a root user:

agent {
    docker {
        image 'maven:3-alpine'
        args '-u root'
    } }
