 # Jenkins on Mesos
 
 Jenkins is deployed on Mesos using a Docker image deployed through Marathon. The image contains some basic configuration and an init script that produces a fully-functioning server, including connected build slaves, OOTB.
 
+## Running localy on marathon 127.0.0.1
+
+Run ```make deploy```
+
+## Running on remote marathon (other than 127.0.0.1)
+
+As soon as a jenkins installation with all required plugins can crash sometimes, and running on remote marathon leades to unPERSISTENT jenkins home directory. To make the system tolerant to jenkins restart several tricks should apply.
+
+1 Edit ```marathon-remote.json.example``` to replace {{PERSISTENT_SLAVE_IP}} with IP of the mesos slave to use.
+2 Edit ```marathon-remote.json.example``` to replace {{PERSISTENT_SLAVE_PORT}} with port number you want to use to mke URL PERSISTENT.
+3 Connect with ssh to the slave you want to use for jenkins and create data only container ```jenkins-data``` with ```docker run -d -v /home/jenkins_home:/var/jenkins_home --name=jenkins-data --entrypoint=/bin/echo alpine "jenkins data-only container"```
+4 Edit ```marathon-remote.json.example``` to replace {{JENKINS_DATA_CONTAINER}} with jenkins-data
+5 Replace ```marathon.json``` with ```marathon-remote.json.example```
+
 ### Building the image
 
 First check out the source from GitHub so you can modify the base config to suit your deployment scenario:
