This project demonstrates how to Dockerize a Spring Boot API project. This project uses Spring Boot 2.2.5-SNAPSHOT version.
Also, this is a Gradle project. You can check the build.gradle file for more info. Also, take a look at the
Dockerfile file for information on how to configure Docker for such a project.
Once you clone the repository, cd into the project root directory and run the following command to build the project:
mvn clean installOnce you build the project, the build command will generate a .jar file in the build/libs/ directory.
The name of the .jar file will be spring-boot-api-docker-poc-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar. You can run this project
by executing the following command from the project root directory:
java -jar target/spring-boot-api-docker-poc-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jarBy default, the project is configured to listen on port 9595. You can change this by editing the server.port
property in the resources/application.properties file. If you do so, make sure you expose the same port in the
Dockerfile as well.
To build the Docker image for this project, from the project root directory, run the following command:
docker build -t poc/spring-boot-api-docker-poc .Wait for the command to download all necessary packages required to create the image. Once the image is build, you can execute the following command to run the Docker image and the web app inside the container:
docker run -it -p 127.0.0.1:9595:9595 poc/spring-boot-api-docker-poc
