Maven + Java application in Dockerfile - java

I am new to java and maven. I have built an application that executes a flink job. I have created a base docker image but I am not sure how to excecute/run like I run the application in the terminal.
I currently run the application in the terminal as follows:
mvn package exec:java `-D exec.args="--runner=FlinkRunner --flinkMaster=localhost:8081 --filesToStage=.\target\maven_benchmark-1.0-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar `" -P flink-runner`
Here is my docker file
FROM maven:latest AS build
COPY src /usr/src/app/src
COPY pom.xml /usr/src/app
RUN mvn -f /usr/src/app/pom.xml clean package
FROM openjdk:14
COPY --from=build /usr/src/app/target/maven_benchmark-1.0-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar /usr/app/maven_benchmark-1.0-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar
WORKDIR /usr/app
EXPOSE 8080
ENTRYPOINT ["java","-jar","maven_benchmark-1.0-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar"]
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

You are running your app with a maven plugin and with a maven profile. You need your app to be runnable outside of maven first.
Then, you need to cleanup your docker steps a bit, here are some suggestions:
Move copy src after coyping pom and downloading dependencies
Do not use root user for runnable image
Use slimer base image for runnable image
Use exploded jars instead of fat jars to get slimmer layers
Make use of .dockerignore to prevent copying unwanted things to the image
Here is a sample Dockerfile:
FROM maven:3.6.3-openjdk-14-slim AS build
WORKDIR /build
# copy just pom.xml (dependencies and dowload them all for offline access later - cache layer)
COPY pom.xml .
RUN mvn dependency:go-offline -B
# copy source files and compile them (.dockerignore should handle what to copy)
COPY . .
RUN mvn package
# Explode fat runnable JARS
ARG DEPENDENCY=/build/target/dependency
RUN mkdir -p ${DEPENDENCY} && (cd ${DEPENDENCY}; jar -xf ../*.jar)
# Runnable image
FROM openjdk:14-alpine as runnable
VOLUME /tmp
VOLUME /logs
ARG DEPENDENCY=/build/target/dependency
# Create User&Group to not run docker images with root user
RUN addgroup -S awesome && adduser -S awesome -G awesome
USER awesome
# Copy libraries & meta-info & classes
COPY --from=build ${DEPENDENCY}/BOOT-INF/lib /app/lib
COPY --from=build ${DEPENDENCY}/META-INF /app/META-INF
COPY --from=build ${DEPENDENCY}/BOOT-INF/classes /app
# Run application
ENTRYPOINT ["java","-cp","app:app/lib/*","com.myawesomeness.Application"]
Then your app, must be runnable outside of maven first.

Dockerfile : /bin/sh: 1: ./mvnw: not found error

I am building a Docker container using the following Dockerfile and actually the app is running on the created container.
FROM eclipse-temurin:17-jdk-jammy as builder
RUN addgroup demogroup; adduser --ingroup demogroup --disabled-password demo
USER demo
WORKDIR /app
# copy pom.xml, mvnw and source code
COPY .mvn/ .mvn
COPY mvnw ./
COPY pom.xml ./
COPY src/ src

RUN ./mvnw clean install <-- this line gives error
# Second stage: minimal runtime environment
FROM eclipse-temurin:17-jre-jammy
WORKDIR /app
# copy jar from the first stage
COPY --from=builder /app/target/*.jar /app/app.jar
EXPOSE 8080
ENTRYPOINT ["java", "-jar", "/app/app.jar"]
When executing RUN ./mvnw clean install line, I get " /bin/sh: 1: ./mvnw: not found" error. I tried many things, but cannot fix it. Is there any problem in my Dockerfile?
RUN mvn
runs mvn inside the docker image.
The docker image is basically a pared down Linux image. Or a Windows image, or whichever OS was used as the base image.
Presuming your base image is Linux, after docker build completed, at your project folder, you can do
docker run -it
and you will be in your dockerized Linux image, where you can run basic Linux commands (provided your image has those basic commands installed).
You can then navigate and inspect if your docker image.
To solve the problem, include Maven build in your Dockerfile instead of running maven command from project folder via mvnv:
COPY src/main/resources/data/ ./src/data

How do I build a Spring Boot app (Maven) with a Dockerfile?

I wrote a Hello World Spring Boot app. It's a Maven project.
Now I want to dockerize this app. It is important that the .jar is created by Docker.
Dockerfile:
FROM maven:3.5-jdk-8 AS build
WORKDIR /app
COPY src .
COPY pom.xml .
RUN mvn -f pom.xml clean package
FROM openjdk:8-alpine
COPY --from=build /src/app/target/*.jar app.jar
EXPOSE 8080
ENTRYPOINT ["java","-jar","app.jar"]
The creation keeps failing.
What am I doing wrong in the Dockerfile?
I got the basic idea of the Dockerfile from this post.
How to dockerize maven project? and how many ways to accomplish it?
first build/clean your app with Maven, then a .jar file (or .war) will be in the directory /target
in the Dockerfile add this:
FROM openjdk:12
ADD target/<jar-name-in-target>.jar docker-spring.jar
EXPOSE 8080
ENTRYPOINT ["java", "-jar", "docker-spring.jar"]
then build your Dockerfile
The following dockerfile works.
# Build stage
FROM maven:3.6.3-jdk-8-slim AS build
COPY src /home/app/src
COPY pom.xml /home/app
RUN mvn -f /home/app/pom.xml clean test package
# Package stage
FROM openjdk:8-jdk-alpine
COPY --from=build /home/app/target/*.jar app.jar
EXPOSE 8080
ENTRYPOINT ["java","-jar","app.jar"]

Gradle and Docker: How to run a Gradle build within Docker container?

I have the following docker file that runs a spring boot application:
# For Java 11, try this
FROM adoptopenjdk/openjdk11:alpine-jre
#
ARG JAR_FILE=/build/libs/pokerstats-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar
#
WORKDIR /opt/app
#
COPY ${JAR_FILE} app.jar
#
ENTRYPOINT ["java","-jar","app.jar"]
The issue is that currently I have to run gradle clean build on my host machine first to create the jar file on my local machine at path:
/build/libs/pokerstats-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar
How can I put this gradle clean build into my docker file so that the build step is done inside the container?
edit:
I want the steps for a user to be:
Clone my project from github
run docker build -t pokerstats . - which will do the gradle build
run docker container run -d -p 8080:8080 pokerstats
The user will clone my project from github - I then want them to be able to run the docker container without having to build the project with gradle first - I.e. I want the docker file to do the build and copy the jar into the container.
After reading this article I have been able to solve this using a Multi Stage Docker Build. Please see the Docker file below:
# using multistage docker build
# ref: https://docs.docker.com/develop/develop-images/multistage-build/
# temp container to build using gradle
FROM gradle:5.3.0-jdk-alpine AS TEMP_BUILD_IMAGE
ENV APP_HOME=/usr/app/
WORKDIR $APP_HOME
COPY build.gradle settings.gradle $APP_HOME
COPY gradle $APP_HOME/gradle
COPY --chown=gradle:gradle . /home/gradle/src
USER root
RUN chown -R gradle /home/gradle/src
RUN gradle build || return 0
COPY . .
RUN gradle clean build
# actual container
FROM adoptopenjdk/openjdk11:alpine-jre
ENV ARTIFACT_NAME=pokerstats-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar
ENV APP_HOME=/usr/app/
WORKDIR $APP_HOME
COPY --from=TEMP_BUILD_IMAGE $APP_HOME/build/libs/$ARTIFACT_NAME .
EXPOSE 8080
ENTRYPOINT exec java -jar ${ARTIFACT_NAME}
Build stage
FROM gradle:jdk11-alpine AS BUILD_STAGE
COPY --chown=gradle:gradle . /home/gradle
RUN gradle build || return 1
Package stage
FROM openjdk:11.0.11-jre
ENV ARTIFACT_NAME=app.jar
ENV APP_HOME=/app
COPY --from=BUILD_STAGE /home/gradle/build/libs/$ARTIFACT_NAME $APP_HOME/
WORKDIR $APP_HOME
RUN groupadd -r -g 1000 user && useradd -r -g user -u 1000 user
RUN chown -R user:user /app
USER user
ENTRYPOINT exec java -jar ${ARTIFACT_NAME}
Mutli stage build. Be sure to have build.gradle and settings.gradle files included in your project directory, I tried to make it as clean and concise as possible:
#Build stage
FROM gradle:latest AS BUILD
WORKDIR /usr/app/
COPY . .
RUN gradle build
# Package stage
FROM openjdk:11-jre-slim
ENV JAR_NAME=app.jar
ENV APP_HOME=/usr/app/
WORKDIR $APP_HOME
COPY --from=BUILD $APP_HOME .
EXPOSE 8080
ENTRYPOINT exec java -jar $APP_HOME/build/libs/$JAR_NAME
Make sure to change JAR_NAME variable to your generated jar file name.

COPY or ADD Command in Dockerfile Fails to Find Jar File for Springboot Application

I am getting this error when I am trying to copy the generated jar file from the target folder to /usr/share/ folder in the Docker image. I have scoured Docker forum sites and people are having the exact same issue but there are no clear answer that solves this problem.
Step 9/10 : COPY target/${JAR_FILE} /usr/share/${JAR_FILE}
ERROR: Service 'myservice' failed to build: COPY failed: stat /var/lib/docker/tmp/docker-builder558103764/target/myservice.jar: no such file or directory
Here's my Dockerfile:
----------------------- begin ---------
FROM adoptopenjdk/openjdk11:alpine
MAINTAINER XXX XXX <ramil.xxxxx#xxxx.ai>
# Add the service itself
ARG JAR_FILE="myservice-1.0.0.jar"
RUN apk add maven
WORKDIR /app
COPY . /app/
RUN mvn -f /app/pom.xml clean install -DskipTests
WORKDIR /app
COPY target/${JAR_FILE} /usr/share/${JAR_FILE}
ENTRYPOINT ["java", "-jar", "/usr/share/myservice-1.0.0.jar"]
------ end snip -------
Here's how I run this from the base folder where I have my Dockerfile on my Mac.
docker build -t service-image .
So I guess you are trying to move your src to image and run a mvn build and copy built file from target to share folder.
If so, every thing seems to be fine except this line
COPY target/${JAR_FILE} /usr/share/${JAR_FILE}
COPY takes in a src and destination. It only lets you copy in a local
file or directory from your host (the machine building the Docker
image) into the Docker image itself
I think your intention is to copy file inside your container's /target to /usr/share folder. try this
RUN cp target/${JAR_FILE} /usr/share/${JAR_FILE}
Regrading error which you see its because with COPY command Docker will try to get the file from docker default path in your HOST
i.e /var/lib/docker/tmp/docker-builder558103764/
where /target folder doesn't exist
I had similar issue because of my .dockerignore had following exclusion:
target
Possible solutions are:
do not ignore target
define ignore exception
!target/*.jar
What has also worked after scouring the Docker forums is using multi-stage build. The multi-stage build not only forces you to use the folders where you specify the WORKDIR in your build stage but also significantly reduces the size of your base images up to 5x-6x less than just using the one stage build like I have shown above. Below is what my solution to finding this jar in the folder I specified as my WORKDIR and use that jar file for my smaller base image. Single-stage build in my initial solution produces 560 MB image. This multi-stage Dockerfile below builds image that is only 108 MB.
FROM adoptopenjdk/openjdk11:alpine as compile
MAINTAINER XXXX <ramil.xxxx#xxxx.ai>
# Build the jar using maven
RUN apk add maven
WORKDIR /app
COPY . /app/
RUN mvn -f pom.xml clean package -DskipTests
FROM adoptopenjdk/openjdk11:alpine-jre
# Copy the packaged jar app file to a smaller JRE base image
COPY --from=compile "/app/target/service-1.0.0.jar" /usr/share/
ENTRYPOINT ["java", "-jar", "/usr/share/service-1.0.0.jar"]
It turns out that the Dockerfile I was using wanted to be executed in a folder different from where the Dockerfile was located.
So given a build_config_folder/Dockerfile...
So instead of
docker build --build-arg SOME_ARG=value build_config_folder
# or
cd build_config_folder
docker build --build-arg SOME_ARG=value .
It needed to be
docker build --build-arg SOME_ARG=value -f build_config_folder/Dockerfile .
This is because the final path positional argument determines where the COPY command will look for files and folders.
Hope that helps someone.
