Set default URL Spring Boot App starts with in deployment - spring

I have a Spring Boot app running on port 5000 with the server.servlet.context-path=/api.
When the app starts up, on my machine, I can access the static welcome page (index.html) at http://localhost:5000/api no problem.
I have this app deployed on AWS CodePipeline in a Docker container. The problem is that when I access the endpoint of my app at http://my-api-env.eba-uatdpxjr.us-east-2.elasticbeanstalk.com/api it works fine, but I would like to have it so that the root url of my deployment environment doesn't need to have /api manually tacked to the end of it to access my service.
How can I make it so that the deployed app's URL http://my-api-env.eba-uatdpxjr.us-east-2.elasticbeanstalk.com automatically includes the app's context path /api and renders the static welcome page?
Dockerfile
FROM openjdk:8-jdk-alpine

EXPOSE 5000

# Configure Port and Context Path

server.servlet.context-path=/api
# In the master application.properties file we can control which Spring Profile we want to use
spring.profiles.active=dev
# Set Welcome view to index.html page
spring.mvc.view.suffix = .html

And why exactly removing the context path (it's "/" by default) doesn't work for you?

Docker sometimes cannot see jar file

I have a weird problem, that sometimes a docker container cannot see a .jar file, while most of the time it does not have any problem with it.
Before i show you the docker image, a little bit of background. Normally i build a jar archive before running my container, a pretty simple container to run a spring boot application. However at some seemingly random point in the daily routine it does not boot up with the container reporting "Unable to access jarfile".
I thought it must be some weird permission stuff, so i took snapshot of my "target" directory when working and when it stopped working via ls -alR target and later comparing those snapshot with git diff. It does not show any difference. I am still pretty convinced it must be related to file-permissions, locking or something of that sort but i do not know where to start.
I am on Mac 12.0.1 btw. Any ideas appreciated.
The docker file
FROM openjdk:8-oraclelinux8
RUN mkdir /app
WORKDIR /app
CMD "java" "-jar" "app.war"
And docker-compose.yml
version: "3.9"
services:
app:
build: .
depends_on:
- sql1
volumes:
- ./target:/app
ports:
- "8080:8080"
links:
- "sql1:sqlserver"
...
I'm not sure if this helps, but I don't see your Dockerfile as robust enough to produce consistent results regardless of the state of your localhost workspace. I may ask, are you building your war file manually and then creating your Docker container?
Please try to follow this approach if it fits your needs :
make sure you delete jar/war files before building the container.
Have a multistage Dockerfile with a "build" phase for your spring boot app where you generate the jar/war file from a builder image (ant, gradle, maven), and then have a second stage where the jar/war file gets copied over to it's final location and the application gets executed, this way you ensure consistency and that the file will be there at all times :
This is an example for my spring boot templates that I use very often, it's quite generic (as I handle the renaming of the jar file without having to worry about how pom.xml is configured individually) and I guess could be implemented in a variety of scenarios
FROM maven:3.8.6-openjdk-18 as builder
WORKDIR /usr/app/
COPY . /usr/app
RUN mvn package -Dmaven.test.skip
RUN JAR_FILE="target/*.jar"; cp ${JAR_FILE} /app.jar
FROM openjdk:18
WORKDIR /usr/app
COPY --from=builder /app.jar /usr/app
EXPOSE 8080
CMD ["java","-jar","app.jar"]
docker compose :
services:
app:
build: .
depends_on:
- sql1
ports:
- 8080:8080
networks:
- spring-boot-api-network
volumes:
- ./target:/app
...
NOTE : I would also remove the "links" option as it is a legacy feature you should avoid using and use networks instead :
You can try this network implementation added at the bottom of your compose file, just make sure you don't forget to add the network: to the sql1 portion as well
networks:
spring-boot-api-network:
driver: bridge
ipam:
driver: default
config:
- subnet: 182.16.0.1/24
gateway: 182.16.0.1
name: spring-boot-api-network

Run spring boot docker image with a different configuration in docker compose

Hello I'm starting with docker and docker compose and I have the following problem:
I'm working in a spring micro services architecture where I have one configuration service, one discovery service, one gateway service and multiple resource services.
To run these services, I build jar files, which I place in separated folder per service with their config files (application.yml and bootstrap.yml):
e.g:
config-service/
config-service.jar
application.yml
discovery-service/
discovery-service.jar
bootstrap.yml
gateway-service/
gateway-service.jar
bootstrap.yml
crm-service/
crm-service.jar
bootstrap.yml
This works so far on my server.
Now I want to deploy my services in different environments as docker images (created with mvn build image and buildpack) using docker compose, where the configuration files vary depending on the environment. How can I deploy a service as a container using an existing image but with a different configuration file?
Thank you in advance!
There are a few possibilities when handling configuration in a containerized environment.
One of the options is that Spring boot allows you to use environment variables for each application property. For example, let's say you have a spring.datasource.url property, in that case you could also define that property by setting a SPRING_DATASOURCE_URL environment variable:
version: '3.8'
services:
my-spring-boot-app:
image: my-image:0.0.1
environment:
- SPRING_DATASOURCE_URL=jdbc:my-database-url
Alternatively, you could use volumes to put an external file on a specific location within a container:
version: '3.8'
services:
my-spring-boot-app:
image: my-image:0.0.1
volumes:
./my-app/bootstrap.yml:/etc/my-app/bootstrap.yml
In this example I'm copyingbootstrap.yml from a relative folder on my host machine, to /etc/my-app within the container. If you put these files within the same folder as your JAR file, you can override the configuration.

Can't connect to Spring Boot app running on Docker locally

I stuck with the problem that can't open my REST Spring Boot app on localhost:8091 in browser.
Here is my docker-compose.xml (everything is deployed locally on Docker Desktop):
version: '3.3'
services:
postgres:
build:
context: services/postgres
dockerfile: Dockerfile.development
command: postgres
ports:
- "5432:5432"
environment:
- POSTGRESS_USER=postgres
- POSTGRESS_DB=postgres
- POSTGRESS_PASSWORD=qqq
- POSTGRES_HOST_AUTH_METHOD=trust
volumes:
- "db-data:/var/lib/postgresql/data"
app:
build:
context: services/app
dockerfile: Dockerfile.development
command: java -jar ./app.jar
environment:
- PORT=8091
network_mode: host
image: 'my-java-app'
ports:
- 8091:8091
depends_on:
- postgres
angular:
build:
context: services/angularfrontend
dockerfile: Dockerfile.development
image: 'my-angular-app'
ports:
- 80:80
volumes:
db-data:
Spring Boot App starts normally on 8091 and connects to the database, but then I can't make calls to it's API from my local machine ("connection refused").
Angular app opens normally (on localhost:80), but can't make calls to localhost:8091 Spring Boot app.
The call from angular service container to localhost:8091 fails, right?
Try to override in your angular frontend container the call to the backend
use app:8091 (this is how the backend service is called) instead of localhost:8091.
In the 'angular' container localhost doesn't translate to 'app' container.
You can't get from a container into a different container using localhost.
localhost inside a container will translate to the ip of that container.
Try to make in your angular application the call to the backend configurable, after that override that configuration in docker-compose using environment.
Also do that for the springboot app application.
I don't see in the environment that you override the call to the postgress.
Expose that configuration in application.properties and override in docker-compose, after that remove network_mode: host
If you really want to use network_mode: host, you don't need to specify <source>:<dest> because the app is listening on 8091 directly on the host network:
...
app:
build:
context: services/app
dockerfile: Dockerfile.development
command: java -jar ./app.jar
environment:
- PORT=8091
network_mode: host
image: 'my-java-app'
depends_on:
- postgres
...
If you want to run the java app like the other containers, simply remove this line from the compose file and the network mode will default to bridge:
network_mode: host

Failed to configure a DataSource: 'url' attribute is not specified and no embedded datasource could be configured. Reason: Fa

I am developing a web application by using the Spring Boot, Spring Cloud Config and Docker. There are 3 projects. One is springboot web, Spring Cloud Config Server and MySql Database. I have use the Spring Boot Web with Themeleaf. It's basically perform a CRUD operation. In the development phase it's working fine. But when I deploy it in the Docker
Spring-Boot webapp container(springboot-thymeleaf-web-crud) is giving me the following error--

Out of these 3 containers Mysql and Spring Cloud Config container is working fine. But for the Spring Boot Webapp(springboot-thymeleaf-web-crud) is exiting by giving the error above.
Note: I use the same datasouce(Spring Data JPA) configuration on some other SpringBoot Rest API. Which are working fine. But this is the first time I am using SpringBoot Web. Do I need to explicitly define any configuration on the data-source.
Please help!!
The datasource URL, that is spring.datasource.url: jdbc:mysql://employee- may be wrong.
OR Should add your datasource url to your Application.properties file
The url should be in the format jdbc:oracle:thin:#hostname:portNumber/schemaName
For further details and clarification, Not using the hostname and port in jdbc url
I perform the following task to solve the problem--
1) We should have up and running the mysql
container.
2) Inspect mysql container which ip running--
docker inspect mysqlcontainer | grep IP
3) Add the IP of that mysql container to my
springboot web app--
"spring.datasource.url:
jdbc:mysql://172.20.0.2:3306/employee_directory?
useSSL=false&serverTimezone
=UTC&useLegacyDatetimeCode=false"
4) run mvn clean, mvn install and build the
SpringBoot Web image.
5) If we down the container we need to perform the
same task again. Because each time Mysql
container obtain the different ip.

How to connect two docker containers, one containing hazelcast in memory data grid, and one containing war file

I have two docker containers, one with hazelcast java application (the core for the web application - jar package) and one with rest service for the web application (war package). I'm using docker-compose to build up whole project in docker which looks like this:
version: "3"
services:
escomled_datagrid:
image: escomled/escomled_datagrid
build:
context: ./sh_scripts/escomled_data_grid
tomcat:
image: escomled/tomcat
build:
context: ./tomcat/app
ports:
- 8585:8080
depends_on:
- escomled_datagrid
links:
- escomled_datagrid:escomled_datagrid
I also have Dockerfile for each container:
-escomled_datagrid:
FROM openjdk:8-jdk-alpine as build
WORKDIR /EscomledML
COPY ./. ./
COPY ./escomled.properties
/home/escomled/escomled_server/config/escomled.properties
CMD ["sh","/EscomledML/escomled_data_grid.sh","start"]
EXPOSE 8085
-tomcat
FROM tomcat:8.5-alpine
COPY ./sample.war /usr/local/tomcat/webapps/
COPY ./escomled-rest.war /usr/local/tomcat/webapps/
COPY ./escomled.properties
/home/escomled/escomled_server/config/escomled.properties
RUN sh -c 'touch /usr/local/tomcat/webapps/sample.war'
RUN sh -c 'touch /usr/local/tomcat/webapps/escomled-rest.war'
EXPOSE 8080
First container uses sh script in the runtime.
This way everyting works fine, the containers start and stay active.
The only problem is that they dont see each other, hazelcast server starts and waits for "member" to connect, war file (hazelcast member) also starts, but they dont "see" each other and wont connect. I put in the docker-compose file "links" and "depends on" tags, but that wont help.
The code for the project works fine when I start it localy, first I start data grid server as java application, then I start the tomcat containing rest service and the connection is established in no time.
So my question is, how do I link this two containers so they can see each other and work together?
try putting the containers in the same "network" by specifying the network bridge
version: "3"

escomled_datagrid:
image: escomled/escomled_datagrid
