This is the simple test project to create GraalVm native image using Spring Boot 3+, Maven as a build tool, and containerize native image in Docker
Versions: Java 17, GraalVm 23.0, Spring Boot 3.0.8
If you're already familiar with Spring Boot container images support, this is the easiest way to get started. Docker should be installed and configured on your machine prior to creating the image.
To create the image, run the following goal:
mvn -Pnative spring-boot:build-image
Then, you can run the app like any other container:
docker run --rm -p 8080:8080 graalvm-project:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT
Use this option if you want to explore more options such as running your tests in a native image.
The GraalVM native-image compiler should be installed and configured on your machine.
NOTE: GraalVM 22.3+ is required.
To create the executable, simply open the terminal in the root of the project and run the following command:
docker-compose up -d
This project contains Dockerfile and docker-compose file, where all the configuration is set-upped.
As we can build a native executable directly with Maven using the mvn -Pnative native:compile command, we don't need to run the native-image command as a separate step.
