Dockerizing my WebappDemo

Overview:

I would like to Dockerize my webapp demo.

Dockerfile added:

FROM openjdk:8
MAINTAINER DFastjeWork@gmail.com
EXPOSE 8090
COPY target/webappdemo-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar app.jar
ENTRYPOINT ["java", "-jar", "app.jar"]

pom.xml plugin added:

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>3.1.0</version>
    <configuration>
        <archive>
            <index>true</index>
            <manifest>
                <addClasspath>true</addClasspath>
                <mainClass>com.byelkawolf.webappdemo.WebappdemoApplication</mainClass>
            </manifest>
        </archive>
    </configuration>
</plugin>

Build and Run:

docker build -f Dockerfile -t docker-example-webapp .
docker images
docker run -p 8090:8090 docker-example-webapp

Conclusion:

The demo webapp ran successfully from the docker container. The next steps that I will either be to enter the docker container while it is running to familiarize myself with the openjdk:8 image that I used or to deploy the container on an EC2 with ECS managing the containers.
