Ensure Resources and Dependencies are available to build image from ./Dockerfile

If you have access to [downloads/] as the Dockerfile ADD(s)

1. JBoss EAP 6.4.0 zip distribution
2. JDK rpm
3. Folder /jce-unlimited directory, ADD(s) JCE unlimited policy files (local_policy.jar / US_export_policy.jar)
4. Folder /trusted-root-ca directory, ADD(s) your trusted root CA files (in .pem format)

If you do not have access to [downloads/]

1. Download jboss-eap-6.4.0.zip and jdk-8u144-linux-x64.rpm, place them a local folder
2. Set build-arg DOWNLOAD_LINK to source dependencies from an absolute local folder instead of [downloads/]

Usage (building and using image directly)

Build image and tag it

$ docker build . -t simars/redhat-jboss-eap

Run Containers

Prepare jboss base folder (ex /Users/usernmae/jboss-eap-dev)

/Users/usernmae/jboss-eap-dev/jboass-eap-dev 
   |
   |__configuration__ [contains standalone-*.xml etc etc]
   |
   |__deployments__ [contains ear and wars to be deployed]

 look ./example/app.env for typical env required for JBOSS ex JAVA_OPTS=...

You can checkout ./jboess-eap-dev and ./jboss-eap-ha base folders as an example Everything except app.ear file is checked in, just place the ear file in deployments folder

Run a container named (app1) with the built image

docker run --name app1 -h app1 -d -p 8444:8443 -p 9991:9990 -it --rm --env-file=app.env --privileged -v $(pwd):/base:ro  jboss-eap

Notice -v {$pwd} is mounting the base folder you have prepared

Notice, -p 8444:8443 we have which exposes :

Notice --env-file=app.env, as it provides environment variables for container

Windows user's ${pwd} may not work, use the absolute path of current working dir ex

-v C:/Users/<username>/<working-copy/jboss-eap-dev>:/base:ro

Working on running Container(s)

checkout logs of your container

$ docker logs -f app1

bash into your container

$ docker exec -it app1 bash
app1$ ls /base; echo "gives you contents of the base folder mounted";
app1$ tail -f /var/log/jboss/console.log

Stop the container

$ docker stop app1

Since you started the container with --rm option, stop will remove the container also. Otherwise

$ docker rm app1
