How to use this image with Docker Plugin

To use this image with Docker Plugin, you need to pass the public SSH key using environment variable JENKINS_SLAVE_SSH_PUBKEY and not as a startup argument.

In Environment field of the Docker Template (advanced section), just add:

JENKINS_SLAVE_SSH_PUBKEY=<YOUR PUBLIC SSH KEY HERE>

Don't put quotes around the public key. You should be all set.
