Why use Bitnami Images?

Bitnami closely tracks upstream source changes and promptly publishes new versions of this image using our automated systems.
With Bitnami images the latest bug fixes and features are available as soon as possible.
Bitnami containers, virtual machines and cloud images use the same components and configuration approach - making it easy to switch between formats based on your project needs.
Bitnami images are built on CircleCI and automatically pushed to the Docker Hub.
All our images are based on minideb a minimalist Debian based container image which gives you a small base container image and the familiarity of a leading linux distribution.

Introduction

Play Framework makes it easy to build web applications with Java & Scala. Play is based on a lightweight, stateless, web-friendly architecture.

The Bitnami Play Development Container has been carefully engineered to provide you and your team with a highly reproducible Play development environment. We hope you find the Bitnami Play Development Container useful in your quest for world domination. Happy hacking!

Getting started

The quickest way to get started with the Bitnami Play Development Container is using docker-compose.

Begin by creating a directory for your Play application:

mkdir ~/myapp
cd ~/myapp

Download the docker-compose.yml file in the application directory:

$ curl -LO https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-java-play/master/docker-compose.yml

Next, launch the Play application development environment using:

$ docker-compose up

The above command creates a container service for Play development and bootstraps a new Play application, named myapp in working directory. You can use your favorite IDE for developing the application.

After the application server has been launched, visit http://localhost:9000 in your favorite web browser and you'll be greeted the Play welcome page.

Executing commands

Commands can be launched inside the myapp Play Development Container with docker-compose using the exec command.

Note:

The exec command was added to docker-compose in release 1.7.0. Please ensure that you're using docker-compose version 1.7.0 or higher.

The general structure of the exec command is:

$ docker-compose exec <service> <command>

, where <service> is the name of the container service as described in the docker-compose.yml file and <command> is the command you want to launch inside the service.

Because of the way Activator works with directories, we'll simply get inside the container and perform operations from there!

$ docker-compose run myapp bash

Now were in! To create a new Play Scala project

$ activator new bitnamiRocks play-java

Then you may want to have a look at the ui

$ cd bitnamiRocks
$ activator ui -Dhttp.host=0.0.0.0

Finally you can serve your app:

$ activator run -Dhttp.host=0.0.0.0
