Spring docs tell me how to write a Dockerfile for my Spring Boot app. I adapted it to my gradle build with "build/libs" directory
FROM openjdk:8-jdk-alpine
ARG JAR_FILE=build/libs/*.jar
COPY ${JAR_FILE} app.jar
ENTRYPOINT ["java","-jar","/app.jar"]
But in my build/libs directory there are multiple versions of my jar:
app-22.9.0.jar
app-22.9.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
app-22.10.0.jar
app-22.10.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
...
Of course I can call 'gradle clean assemble' to do the job. But I need the Dockerfile in a test too. It is annoying to run clean assemble all the time.
How can I specify in my Dockerfile COPY command to use only the latest jar.
Docker uses normal shell glob rules when expanding patterns like this; there's no way to tell it to use the single most recent matching file, or the file with the largest embedded semantic version, or other things.
When you build the image, you can pass a more specific value for that ARG like
docker build --build-arg JAR_FILE=app-22.10.0.jar -t myapp:22.10.0 .
You may also want that build version to be in the image tag and it may be helpful to script this.
(You probably don't need to ./gradlew clean in between rebuilds, and that might make running ./gradlew assemble go faster.)

I don't know what I'm getting this error when I dockerized my spring-boot application
this is my Dockerfile
enter image description here
First, I wonder is your application working on your IDE?
Second, I think you make sure to build and package.
It is not sure to exists a jar file in your target folder.
You always have to build and check by yourself.
Make the build process automatic.
How about using this Dockerfile?
FROM maven:3.8.6-openjdk-18-slim as MAVEN_BUILD
WORKDIR /build
COPY pom.xml .
RUN mvn dependency:go-offline
COPY src ./src
RUN mvn package -Dmaven.test.skip=true
FROM openjdk:18-alpine
WORKDIR /app
ARG JAR_FILE=*.jar
COPY --from=MAVEN_BUILD /build/target/${JAR_FILE} ./app.jar
EXPOSE 8080
CMD ["java", "-jar", "app.jar"]
If maven or openjdk version not matched, check this site.

https://hub.docker.com/_/openjdk
In your Spring Boot application, from what I can see your BookingController is missing. Make sure you have the file present and build your image accordingly.
For your Dockerfile, try to change add to ADD, as it seems your target files are not been copied into the image built.
I'm reading about dockerization of Spring Boot applications and all (or almost all) tutorials are based on some simple Dockerfile like
FROM openjdk:8-jdk-alpine
ARG JAR_FILE=target/*.jar
COPY ${JAR_FILE} app.jar
ENTRYPOINT ["java","-jar","/app.jar"]
It usually work (however you may need to change some build target paths) but as far as I understand it requires us to build the application jar before the docker build command will be run.
I'm actually working with Gradle but for the Maven, I guess, it looks the same.
My question is: is it good convention?
If I'll download some repostitory and run docker build, regardless having proper Dockerfile, it will fail because there is no target/*.jar file (at least if someone did not commit the /build directory :P).
Should we then include some ./gradlew build commands in the Dockerfile?
https://github.com/palantir/gradle-docker
you should use this project
or
jar_path=$(find . |grep $APP_NAME|grep jar|grep -v original|grep -v repository|grep -v templates)
mv $jar_path ./app.jar
I want to create Docker image for a spring boot application.It uses gardle as build tool.
In bitbucket repository i could see below files are placed
--> src
--> build.gradle
--> Dockerfile
--> gradlew
--> gradlew.bat
Now Dockerfile has below content
FROM openjdk:8-jdk-alpine
VOLUME /tmp
ARG DEPENDENCY=target/dependency
COPY ${DEPENDENCY}/BOOT-INF/lib /app/lib
COPY ${DEPENDENCY}/META-INF /app/META-INF
COPY ${DEPENDENCY}/BOOT-INF/classes /app
EXPOSE 8080
ENTRYPOINT ["java","-cp","app:app/lib/*","eds.billnq"]
When i try to create image using Dockerfile i get error
target/dependency/BOOT-INF library not found
target/dependency/META-INF library not found
My query is why here there is no gradle build steps in docker file ?
Also where target/dependency/ will be created ?
why here there is no gradle build steps in docker file ?
It looks like the Dockerfile is expecting the application to have already been built (by Gradle) before the Docker image is built, and for the resulting class files and jars to be available in various directories under target/dependency.
The Spring Boot Docker guide referred to by #WonChul Heo in the comments goes into how to build a Docker image using Gradle and specifically with the plugin gradle.plugin.com.palantir.gradle.docker:gradle-docker.
Also where target/dependency/ will be created ?
I'm guessing they should be created when you run your Gradle build, but without knowing more about how the build is configured, it's hard to say for sure.
I suggest you read through the guide again and compare what it recommends to what you have in your codebase, especially the Gradle build definitions.
At the end of the day, if you've pulled code from a private code repo and can't figure out how to make it build, it's probably best to seek out advice from the people who've committed to the codebase than from SO.
When working With Gradle ur jar file is going to be generated inside build/libs/{Your jar}
Can you please change ARG DEPENDENCY=target/dependency to ARG DEPENDENCY=build/libs and try? It will work.
I have a following Dockerfile in my pet project:
FROM java:8
ADD target/sources-registry-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar sources-registry.jar
RUN bash -c 'touch /sources-registry.jar'
ENTRYPOINT ["java","-Djava.security.egd=file:/dev/./urandom","-jar","/sources-registry.jar"]
EXPOSE 8761
And everything perfectly works - image is created and can be run. Now a bit of description about the project: it is a maven based project and before actually executing the Dockerfile I have to manually run mvn package.
However, if I change the Dokerfile to (because I do not want manually to run mvn package and want to automate it)
FROM java:8
RUN ls target
RUN ./mvnw package
ADD target/sources-registry-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar sources-registry.jar
RUN bash -c 'touch /sources-registry.jar'
#ENTRYPOINT ["java","-Djava.security.egd=file:/dev/./urandom","-jar","/sources-registry.jar"]
EXPOSE 8761
then while execution I get /bin/sh: 1: ./mvnw: not found. However, mvnw is in my project files near the pom.xml.
Even more if I just do following Dockerfile
FROM java:8
RUN ls target/
then I get ls: cannot access target/: No such file or directory.
Can someone please explain this behaviour?
I mean why I can actually do something with target folder (first
Dockerfile) even if does not exist (third Dockerfile)?
How project files (and what files) get copied into a created
container?
The main question: Why second Dockerfile is not working? And how I can make it work?
The ADD command copies over the sources-registry.jar file into the Docker image, so that the first example is able to execute it. If you want to use any other files inside the container, you need to include them in the image as well (using ADD or COPY). See the reference docs for more information
I'm trying to create a Dockerfile to then build a Maven project.
I wonder how to fix the Dockerfile and what command to then execute.
I would like to know how to run the build so that it does NOT download all the Maven dependencies every time it builds when the source code, sitting in the src/ directory, has NOT changed.
Here is my Dockerfile file:
FROM maven:3.3.9-jdk-8
RUN mkdir -p /usr/src/app
WORKDIR /usr/src/app
RUN cd /usr/src/app
ADD pom.xml /usr/src/app
RUN mvn dependency:resolve
ADD src /usr/src/app
RUN mvn package
ENTRYPOINT ["mvn"]
CMD ["package"]
Should I run the docker run --rm -it toolbox command or the docker build -t toolbox . command ?
Both of these above commands run fine, except that they both download all the Maven dependencies even if the source code has not been touched.
That's how Docker works. Every time you do docker run, it creates a new container which does not have any access to the files in the old container. So, it download all dependencies it requires. You can circumvent this by declaring an external volume. Looking at the Dockerfile of Maven, it declares a volume /root/.m2. So, you can use a directory in your host machine and attach it to this volume by -v option. Your Docker command would be,
`docker run -v <directory-in-your-host>:/root/.m2 <other-options-and-commands>
Every time you run a new docker run, Maven will look into your local directory before downloading the dependency.
However, my question is why don't you build your app first and use the resulting jar to create the docker images unless you have any specific reasons. You can create your own Dockerfile using java base image or simply use one of the docker-maven-plugin like spotify available out there. That makes your life a lot easier.
