Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reviewing Jenkins agent/plugin integration and the CLI behavior for fetching devcontainer labels and executing them; done means Jenkins can launch a devcontainer directly as an agent with the required configuration applied.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

In Jenkins we can start an agent on a docker image but those can't be devcontainers.

I would love to see a Docker-like plugin for Jenkins, enabling us to spawn a devcontainer as a Jenkins agent directly.

Starting a devcontainer as a docker image require fetching label and executing those within the container, it is quite complex to do when not using the tool.
