jooby-docker

Jooby, on Docker.

What?

That's right, the Jooby you all know and love now with more Docker.

Why?

Jooby is a modern web framework for Java and Kotlin. The instructions for creating a new project with Jooby involves downloading the Jooby CLI. Unless you're prepared to read the source and compile the CLI yourself, executing it on your own machine involves some level of trust. Also, you need to have Java installed the right way.

Instead, jooby-docker provides a way to use the Jooby CLI with tools you already trust to keep you safe (maybe?) Also, it means you can use the Jooby CLI if you only have Java installed because of IntelliJ.

Ok, but now what?

Just clone this repository and run jooby.sh from the directory to create projects in. This will give the same end result as running the Jooby CLI manually in that directory.

But wait, can I trust your shell script?

If you want to do it manually, you just need to do the following:

Set environment variables for the user to be used in the docker container. (This will probably be the owner of the project files that the Jooby CLI creates.)
- Set GROUP_ID to the user's group ID.
- Set USER_ID to the user's user ID.
Use docker-compose run to run the Jooby CLI.
- You will need to mount the directory the Jooby CLI will think it is running in to the container's /tmp/project directory.

Uh... I'm on Windows
