gradle-docker-poc

what is this?

POC for demonstrating gradle's docker plugin capabilities.

what does it do?

Takes a simple Spring Boot app and:

• builds it into a jar
• create a docker image file (Dockerfile) and includes the jarified app
• builds the docker image
• fires up the docker container

things needed to be taken into account when building/running the project

• The SSL cert of the docker host is selfsigned (created by boot2docker during installation), thus it needs to manually be added to Java's cacerts keystore. sudo keytool import -alias $DOCKER_HOST -file $DOCKER_CERT -keystore $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/security/cacerts

how to test

Go to https://$DOCKER_HOST:8080/container This would return a sample JSON message.
