Solution : How to create a docker image for spring Boot or java application ? (jar / war)

What you need ?

  • Docker is installed
  • A simple Spring Boot application

To start, we will go to the root folder of the project and create a new text file called Dockerfile. It’ll contain all steps necessary to create an image. For this tutorial, it looks like this:

FROM java:8-jdk-alpine
COPY ./target/Projet_formation-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar /usr/app/
WORKDIR /usr/app
EXPOSE 8080
ENTRYPOINT ["java", "-jar", "Projet_formation-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar"]

let’s explain every step :

  • FROM java:8-jdk-alpine : with this line we tell Docker that our image will be based on another image that is available on Docker Hub. This image was contains all necessary dependencies that we would need to run any Java application (example JDK, etc…)
  • COPY ./target/Projet_formation-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar /usr/app/ : in this step we copy-paste something from one directory to another. First argument after COPY is a path of an application that we want to put into container. The second parameter, /usr/app/ , is a directory in a container where we put the app.
  • WORKDIR /usr/app : here we instruct Docker to use /usr/app folder as a root, otherwise in each following command we would need to provide the full path to the resource.
  • EXPOSE 8080 : with it we inform Docker that a container will listen to specific port, the same as our app is using.
  • ENTRYPOINT [“java”, “-jar”, “Projet_formation-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar“] : in the last command we tell Docker to run the application, where first value is a command and the last two are parameters.

Now we will go to the terminal, inside the folder where Dockerfile is located and when you’re in there build an image with following command (dont forget the dot . at the end of the command):


$ docker build -t javatuto-img .

#1 [internal] load build definition from Dockerfile
#1 sha256:da97f01452306b4900b72411888e17c3f03b3f2d9b449a132c99f35a46d2da7b
#1 transferring dockerfile: 221B 0.0s done
#1 DONE 0.1s

#2 [internal] load .dockerignore
#2 sha256:ae7fef85474565f2be17d66f8fa5d8f1aeedac9bcab36f07656494385500a6e5
#2 transferring context: 2B 0.0s done
#2 DONE 0.1s

#3 [internal] load metadata for docker.io/library/java:8-jdk-alpine
#3 sha256:3601af91695cb4b6101b77a3460eaef7481c0448b32b05bf4220e07364391a1e
#3 DONE 3.3s

Now, Docker is building the image by executing command step-by-step . to check if the image was built with the following command :

$ docker images

Or if you installed the Docker desktop on windows you can see your image :

Docker descktop

The image is available, so let’s run it with the following command :

$ docker run -p 3333:8088 javatuto-img

To test your container, navigate to http://localhost:8080
