Simple-Java-Spring-Boot-Application

This application is designed for practicing the deployment process for Java Spring Boot-based applications.

Instructions

1. Clone the Repository:

   Clone this repository using:

   git clone https://github.com/luchichang/Simple-Java-Spring-Boot-Application.git

2. Install Apache Maven: Apache Maven is used as the build automation tool for this application. If Maven is not already installed, follow the official installation guide.

         sudo apt update -y
         sudo apt install maven -y

   Maven is a build automation tool primarily for Java projects.
   

3. Build the Application:

   Navigate to the project directory and run:

    mvn clean package

This command performs the following actions: * clean: Removes previously compiled code and build artifacts to ensure a fresh build. * package: Compiles the code, runs tests, and packages the application into a JAR or WAR file as specified in the pom.xml file.

4. Run the Application:

Locally

 After the build process completes, the generated .jar file will be located in the target directory. To run the application, use:

java -jar target/spring-boot-web.jar

The application will start and be accessible at http://localhost:8080.

Through Containerization Approach

   build the Image in the docker file

       docker build -t basicspringbootapp:v1 .

  run the container and forward the application to  port  8010

  ```docker
  docker run -d --name container1 -p "8010:8080" basicspringbootapp:v1
  ```
