Todo

runninr ant install on container start seems to exit the container. An error on install quits the container. fix BASEDIR issue on start
lockdown and secure
migrate setup perams to docker-compose.yml

Possible issues to investigate

openjdk-6-jre vs openjdk-8-jre

seems to build with openjdk-8

ANT_VERSION 1.9.7 vs the specified 1.8.4 (which didn't seem to build)

General disclaimer / plea

This is my first attempt at a more complex docker build, so be nice! Comments & suggestions welcomed.

Build process

Prerequisites

mysql
Java 6 JDK
ant version 1.8.x
PERL
wget
Image from mysql image

Customise Install

build and run the db first, it needs to be running for the app to finnish building. e.g. it needs to access the db.
I'm using a lan apt-cache-ng server, so you need to remove the RUN echo 'Acquire::http { Proxy "http://192.168.0.210:3142"; };' >> /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01proxy line
Download gate from sourceforge and place the trunk folder in the same folder as the docker file. It gets loaded and copied to the image when it's built. I did this to stop me having to thrash my bw and the sourceforge servers every re-build!
change default values to suite env in antinstall-config.xml
mirror values in build.properties

Licence

GATE Teamware is available under the GNU Affero General Public Licence 3.0 so as I understand you are free to use the source, but must not sublicence without permission 2.

I'm trying to avoid the Oracle behemoth by using openjdk.

As for this docker file - do what you like. Let me know how you get on.

This was build by..
