      The following Jenkins works fine:

       

      pipeline {
          agent none
          stages {
              stage('Test') {
                  agent {
                      docker {
                          image 'node:14-alpine'
                          alwaysPull true
                      }
                  }
                  steps {
                      sh 'pwd'
                      sh 'node --version'
                  }
              }
          }
      }
      

       

      The following got some issues and it's stuck on "docker pull node:14-alpine" (from Blue Ocean view):

       

       

      pipeline {
          agent {
              dockerfile {
                  filename 'docker/jenkins-agent/Dockerfile'
                  additionalBuildArgs "--build-arg UID=113"
              }
          }
      
      stages {
          stage('Test') {
                agent {
                    docker {
                        image 'node:14-alpine'
                        alwaysPull true
                    }
                }
                steps {
                    sh 'node --version'
                }
            }
          }
      }

       

      When tried without "alwaysPull true", it got stuck on "docker inspect -f . node:14-alpine — Shell Script".

      My Dockerfile:

       

      FROM ubuntu:focal AS ubuntu
      ENV DEBIAN_FRONTEND noninteractive
      # Creates a user.
      ARG UID=1001
      RUN useradd -rm -d /home/jenkins -s /bin/bash -g root -u $UID jenkins
      USER jenkins
      WORKDIR /home/jenkins
      

       

      Jenkins output:

      ...
      [Pipeline] withEnv
      [Pipeline] {
      [Pipeline] isUnix
      [Pipeline] sh (
      (hang)

      Error after timeout (docker pull node:14-alpine — Shell Script):

      process apparently never started in /var/lib/jenkins/workspace/Deploy@2@tmp/durable-75354819 (running Jenkins temporarily with -Dorg.jenkinsci.plugins.durabletask.BourneShellScript.LAUNCH_DIAGNOSTICS=true might make the problem clearer) script returned exit code -2
      

      My understanding is when specifying "agent" inside "stage" it should override/replace the outer "agent", but it seems Jenkins got some issues with this configuration.
