Example Dockerfile:

FROM blacklabelops/java
MAINTAINER Your Name <[email protected]>

Need the JDK?

Example Dockerfile:

FROM blacklabelops/java:jdk8
MAINTAINER Your Name <[email protected]>

RUN Install-Your-Tooling

Take a Dockerfile and build with the default arguments:

$ docker build -t blacklabelops/java -f java-oracle-alpine/Dockerfile .

Build a specific Oracle Version with the following build arguments:

• JAVA_DISTRIBUTION: jdk, jre, or server-jre (default: jdk)
• JAVA_MAJOR_VERSION: 7 or 8
• JAVA_UPDATE_VERSION: The minor version from any Oracle Java download page.
• JAVA_BUILD_NUMBER: The build number from any Oracle Java download page.
• JAVA_HASH: The hash from any Oracle Java download page.

Example:

$ docker build -t blacklabelops/java \
  --build-arg JAVA_DISTRIBUTION=server-jre \
  --build-arg JAVA_MAJOR_VERSION=8 \
  --build-arg JAVA_UPDATE_VERSION=161 \
  --build-arg JAVA_BUILD_NUMBER=12 \
  --build-arg JAVA_HASH=2f38c3b165be4555a1fa6e98c45e0808 \
  -f java-oracle-alpine/Dockerfile .

Will build image containing Server JRE 8 in version 8.161.12.

The Dockerfiles for the different Java versions are maintained in the respective folders.

Example:

Folder: java-jdk-8-oracle

Version: Java Development Kit (JDK) Version 8, VM implementation by Oracle

Vagrant is fabulous tool for pulling and spinning up virtual machines like docker with containers. I can configure my development and test environment and simply pull it online. And so can you! Install Vagrant and Virtualbox and spin it up. Change into the project folder and build the project on the spot!

$ vagrant up
$ vagrant ssh
[vagrant@localhost ~]$ cd /vagrant/java-jdk-8-oracle/
[vagrant@localhost ~]$ docker build -t blacklabelops/jdk8 .
