dcuenot / spring-boot-docker

This project contains Dockerfile that creates a base image to run Spring Boot applications.

This is not an official Google product.

How to use this image

Groovy Applications

Create a Dockerfile in your project directory:

FROM saturnism/spring-boot:1.2.3-jdk-8-groovy-2.4.3
ADD . $SRC_DIR

You can then build and run the image:

docker build -t myapp
docker run -ti myapp

You'll notice that everytime the container starts, it will resolve all the dependencies. To avoid this, you can also pre-compile your Groovy application using the onbuild image.

In the Dockerfile, use:

FROM saturnism/spring-boot:1.2.3jdk-8-groovy-2.4.3-onbuild

You can then build and run the image just like the previous method:

docker build -t myapp
docker run -ti myapp

Examples

You can find examples under the Examples directory.

Full Demo with Kubernetes

Videos

Ray used this repository for many of his demos during his talks around the world in conferences. You can find a list of Ray's videos on how to run the demos in his YouTube playlist.

But specifically, checkout the one from Jfokus.

Creating a microservice

1. Create a new directory, and change into it: mkdir hello-live && cd hello-live

2. Create Helloworld.groovy

   @RestController
   class Helloworld {
     @RequestMapping("/mul/{x}/{y}")
     def mul(@PathVariable int x, @PathVariable int y) {
       [ x: x, y: y, result: x * y ]
     }
   }
   

3. Run it: spring run .

4. Build it: spring jar ~/app.jar .

5. Run the jar: java -jar ~/app.jar

Containerize the service

1. Create a Dockerfile
2. Build the container docker build -t helloworld .
3. Run it: docker run -ti --rm -p 8080:8080 helloworld

Deploying to Kubernetes on Google Container Engine

This assumes that you have a Google Cloud Platform account, a Container Engine managed Kubernetes cluster, and the associated Project ID.

1. Tag it: docker tag -f helloworld gcr.io/${PROJECT_ID}/helloworld
2. Push it to Google Container Registry, a private repository: gcloud docker push gcr.io/${PROJECT_ID}/helloworld
3. Deploy it in Kubernetes: kubectl run helloworld --image=gcr.io/${RPOJECT_ID}/helloworld -l app=hellworld,visualize=true (the label "visualize" is for demo visualization purposes. You can use whatever labels you like).
4. Scale it: kubectl scale rc helloworld --replicas=3
5. Expose it as an external service: kubectl expose rc helloworld --port=8080 --target-port=8080 --type=LoadBalancer

Rolling Update

1. Make changes to Helloworld.groovy
2. Build the container as v2: docker build -t helloworld:v2 .
3. Tag it: docker tag -f helloworld:v2 gcr.io/${PROJECT_ID}/helloworld:v2
4. Push it: gcloud docker push gcr.io/${PROJECT_ID}/helloworld:v2
5. Rolling update: kubectl rolling-update frontend --image=gcr.io/${PROJECT_ID}/helloworld:v2 --update-periods=5s
