I. Technology with Spring Boot Docker tutorial

Java – 8
Maven 3.3.9
Editor: Spring Tool Suite – Version 3.7.3.RELEASE
Docker Container

II. Overview Spring Boot with Docker

1. Structure of Project
2. Step to do

– Create Spring Boot Project

– Configure docker-maven-plugin
– Create a Simple Web Controller
– Build Spring Boot with Docker
– Run Docker container
– Result.

III. Practices

1. Create Spring Boot project

– Open Spring Too Suite, File->New->Spring Starter Project, input project

info:
Press Next button, add Spring MVC Web dependency:

Press Finish, Spring Boot Project is created. Open pom.xml file for details:

1<dependency>
2<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
3<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
4</dependency>

2. Configure Docker-Maven-Plugin

– Review project info in pom.xml file for info to build Dockerfile

1<groupId>com.springjava4dev.docker</groupId>
2<artifactId>sample-docker</artifactId>
3<version>0.0.1</version>
4<packaging>jar</packaging>
– Build Dockerfile

1FROM frolvlad/alpine-oraclejdk8:slim
2ADD sample-docker-0.0.1.jar app.jar
3ENTRYPOINT ["java","-jar","/app.jar"]
Place it at /src/main folder of Project

– Add properties in pom.xml

1<properties>
2<docker.image.prefix>spring-java4dev</docker.image.prefix>
3</properties>
– Add Docker Maven Plugin

1 <build>
2 <plugins>
3 <plugin>
4 <groupId>com.spotify</groupId>
5 <artifactId>docker-maven-plugin</artifactId>
6 <version>0.4.10</version>
7 <configuration>
8 <mainClass>com.springjava4dev.docker.SpringbootDockerStarterApplication
9 </mainClass>
1 <imageName>${docker.image.prefix}/${project.artifactId}</imageName>
0 <dockerDirectory>src/main</dockerDirectory>
1 <resources>
1 <resource>
1 <directory>${project.build.directory}</directory>
2 <include>${project.build.finalName}.jar</include>
1 </resource>
3 </resources>
1 </configuration>
4 </plugin>
1 <plugin>
5 <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
1 <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
6 </plugin>
1 </plugins>

3. Create a Simple Web Controller

1 import org.apache.log4j.LogManager;
2 import org.apache.log4j.Logger;
3 import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
4 import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;
5
6 @RestController
7 public class SimpleController {
8
9 private Logger logger = LogManager.getLogger(this.getClass());
10@RequestMapping(value="/")
11public String home(){
12String info ="Congratulations! You had delpoy your app on Docker
13successfully!";
14logger.info(info);
15return info;
16}
}

4. Build Spring Boot project with Docker

Set goals for Maven build:

package docker:build

10Successfully built e25968b9eae0
– Check Docker images:

5. Run docker container

Run docker commandline

1docker run -p 8080:8080 -t spring-java4dev/sample-docker
