# Jenkins [Jenkins](https://www.jenkins.io/). The leading open source automation server, Jenkins provides hundreds of plugins to support building, deploying and automating any project. > When application is installed and on each startup, a container will be launched with **root** privileges. > This is required in order to apply the correct permissions to the `Jenkins` directories. > Afterward, the `Jenkins` container will run as a **non**-root user (`1000`). > All mounted storage(s) will be `chown`ed only if the parent directory does not match the user and group (`1000`).
