docker not found inside jenkins pipeline

I have a jenkins installed on my linux machine and connected it to my kubernetes cluster.

I've installed docker and docker-pipeline plugin inside jenkins and they can be found under /var/lib/jenkins/plugins:

docker-build-step
docker-build-step.jpi
docker-commons
docker-commons.jpi
docker-java-api
docker-java-api.jpi
docker-plugin
docker-plugin.jpi
docker-workflow
docker-workflow.jpi

and configured in Global Tool Configuration:

enter image description here

However when I run docker.build or even sh 'docker ps' inside my pipeline it throws:

/home/jenkins/agent/workspace/nodejs@tmp/durable-492ddc4c/script.sh: 1: docker: not found

EDIT:

I've built my own image with docker and when I exec into it I can run docker command but pipeline still throws docker not found command and found out it is because jnlp doesn't have docker installed. Any ideas how to fix it inside jenkins-inbound-agent?

I've fixed it by adding:

tools {
  <...>
  'org.jenkinsci.plugins.docker.commons.tools.DockerTool' 'docker'
}

in environment part of my pipeline. And it had appeared in my $PATH while checking inside the pod.

Then I've had issues while invoking docker.withRegistry() and solved it by using docker.withTool() as following:

docker.withTool('docker'){
    docker.withRegistry('repo','credentials') { 
        <rest of the pipeline here>
    }
}

It might not be the prettiest solution but it worked for my homelab use-case.

You should customize the jenkins/inbound-agent to add docker command, a minimal example as next:

Dockerfile:

FROM jenkins/inbound-agent
USER root
RUN apt-get update; \
apt-get install -y wget; \
wget https://download.docker.com/linux/static/stable/x86_64/docker-20.10.9.tgz; \
tar zxvf docker-20.10.9.tgz; \
cp -f docker/docker /usr/local/bin; \
rm -fr docker-20.10.0.tgz docker; \
apt-get purge -y wget

Build:

docker build -t my-inbound-agent .

Above will install a docker client binary in customized image to let you have docker command in inbound-agent. But still, you need mount docker unix socket to inbound-agent when start it, also you need to use your customized agent image, like next:

Start agent:

docker run --init -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock my-inbound-agent -url ......

Then, we could verify it's ok in agent with next:

$ docker ps
CONTAINER ID   IMAGE              COMMAND                  CREATED         STATUS         PORTS     NAMES
