Very simple Docker image with self-contained maven installation and spring boot app

Self contained Spring-Boot Docker Image with Maven

The purpose of this image is to be a base for Spring-Boot apps that are deployable to any system capable of hosting Docker. You can work with this project just as you would any other Spring Boot application.

• Run tests with mvn test
• Run maven commands
• Create deployments and publish to Nexus

Build the docker image

docker build -t <image_name> .

Running the image as a container:

• docker run -p 8080:8080 -t <image_id>
• Access app at localhost:8080

How it works

• On build, it places src dir and pom file in the docker image, and runs mvn clean install
• On starting the image, the contained Spring-Boot app starts and binds to 8080.
