DockerJavaMavenBuildBox

Description

Example of using Docker as a build container.

This has two parts. The first part creates a container with OpenJDK-7-JDK, Maven and Git installed. The second part is an app-specific build box which compiles a simple DropWizard service into a container, and which runs the service when the container is started.

The generic build container

Building

./build-base.sh

Running

docker run -it devsoup/ubuntu-jdk7 /bin/bash -l

The app-specific container

Building

You must build the build container first!

./build-builder.sh

Running

docker run -i -t -p 49000:8080 -p 49001:8081 devsoup/simple-builder

Because I’m on a Mac, this redirects port 49000 and 49001 locally to 8080 and 8081 on the docker-vm. Once it runs, it should say suggest something like “curl -i http://192.168.59.103:49000/echo?echo=amazing” to test the service in the container.
