This project builds a docker container which is used by fabric8 to create Java based Micro Services using the Java Container.

Its not intended for this container image to be usable by itself; its used by the Java Container to create a new docker container image for each micro service as you create a container for the profile for a java container using the docker plugin

• this demo shows how to get started using a Java Container with fabric8
• check out how to use docker with fabric8; in particularly you need to:
  • ensure docker containers can see the host running the fabric; e.g. using localip or manualip resolution (as on OS X and Windows often docker containers cannot see your local host machines host name)
  • add the docker profile to the root container
• if you use the fabric8 console or command line to create a docker container for the java container profile; it will create a new docker image on the fly based on fabric8/fabric8-java but also copying any configuration files or jars into the lib folder etc.

We have a Docker Index trusted build setup to automatically rebuild the fabric8/fabric8-java container whenever the Dockerfile is updated, so you shouldn't have to rebuild it locally. But if you want to, here's now to do it...

Once you have installed docker you should be able to create the containers via the following:

git clone [email protected]:fabric8io/fabric8-java-docker.git
cd fabric8-java-docker
./build.sh

The fabric8 container should then build.

To spin up a shell in one of the containers try:

docker run -P -i -t fabric8/fabric8-java /bin/bash

You can then noodle around the container and run stuff & look at files etc.
