docker-play
This is a minimal docker container based on Ubuntu 14.04 for Play Framework development.
Description
You should run this container interactivelly and launch activator console commands from within your play projects directories.
Includes:
- Oracle JDK 1.8
- Typesafe Activator 1.3.9 (Play 2.5)
- Git, wget, curl, build-essential
Users
A user named play is created with sudoers privileges. Home is at /home/play.
Volumes
Exports a volume on /home/play/Code.
You can mount the volume on run to a local directory containing your code.
ivy2 and sbt caches
Java user.home variable is defined, pointing to /home/play/Code.
In this way, all dependencies are kept if you mount the /home/play/Code volume on /home/play/Code/.ivy2 and /home/play/Code/.sbt directories.
Ports
Three ports are exposed:
- 9000: default Play port.
- 9999: default Play debug port.
- 8888: default Activator UI port.
Remember to map the ports to the docker host on run.
How to run the container
Using docker
You need docker v1.3+ installed. To get the container up and running and drop to an interactive shell, run:
sudo docker run --rm -it -v "/home/dordoka/Code:/home/play/Code" -p 9000:9000 -p 9999:9999 -p 8888:8888 dordoka/play-framework
Remember to change /home/dordoka/Code to the directory where your code is stored.
Using docker-compose
If you have docker-compose installed, you can just launch:
sudo docker-compose up
NOTE: compose doesn't support interactive shells directly. See Issue 423
