[Maybe related to issues JENKINS-28821, JENKINS-33632 and JENKINS-36842]
Hello,
I am trying to stablish a new CI environment with jobs running on docker but I am running into permission issues. I tried to create a minimal reproducible scenario without slave machines.
Looking at some of the related issues, I wonder whether I was supposed to configure permissions or group membership for the jenkins user on the container (instead of just using the image as is), but I assume that is not the case.
Starting on a clean Centos 7 vm, I installed jenkins 2.7.1 and docker, and then added the jenkins user to the docker group (ansible playbook follows). Then I only installed "Pipeline" and "CloudBees Docker Pipeline" plugins and its dependencies. Everything is updated as of today. Then I created a single pipeline job:
node { docker.image('centos:7').inside { sh 'pwd' } }
This job fails with permission issues:

No; Jenkins tries to run the container using the user (and group) ID from the slave agent on the host, specifically so that it will have write permissions on the workspace. Not sure why that is not working in this case.
