Non of these ppa forks, just the latest and greatest original version, directly from the lord himself.

Disclaimer

FYI: By using this Docker image, you're accepting the Oracle Binary Code License Agreement for Java SE.

How it works

While creating your Docker image, the oracle server jre is downloaded via wget and stored in /opt/oracle-server-jre.

After that, the /opt/oracle-server-jre/bin/java is symlinked to /usr/bin/java.

You should now be able to run java in your image.

Usage from Docker Hub

To run the latest and greatest version of all times, you have to execute:

$ docker run martinseeler/oracle-server-jre

If you want to run a specific java version, just include the tag for the version you want:

$ docker run martinseeler/oracle-server-jre:1.8_131

Usage in your image

Just set the FROM command in your own Dockerfile as follows:

FROM martinseeler/oracle-server-jre

This will pull the latest and greatest version of all times.

If you want a specifc version, include the tag to represent the java version:

FROM martinseeler/oracle-server-jre:1.8_131

Build from source

If you want to build this docker image locally, you can do it with the following command:

$ docker build -t="martinseeler/oracle-server-jre" .

To see if everything is good, hit the following into your terminal:

$ docker run martinseeler/oracle-server-jre java -version

You should see something like this:

java version "1.8.0_131"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_131-b11)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.131-b11, mixed mode)

Dependencies

The image is built on top of docker-alpine.
