[Microservices] First project of Spring Boot and Docker

Share one very simple project, which I did as my first project for learning microservices and docker. Thanks.

Prerequisite

Following softwares must be installed, and they would better be the latest version

• JDK
• Maven
• Docker

Spring boot project, helloworld

A very simple java web application built with spring boot. It only contains 2 files, pom and one java class.

pom.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

    <artifactId>helloword</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.0</version>

    <parent>
        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
        <version>2.1.6.RELEASE</version>
    </parent>

    <properties>
        <java.version>1.8</java.version>
    </properties>

    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-test</artifactId>
            <scope>test</scope>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>


    <build>
        <finalName>${project.artifactId}</finalName>
        <plugins>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
                <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
            </plugin>
        </plugins>
    </build>

</project>

Application.java

package com.b5wang.cloud.helloworld;

import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;

@SpringBootApplication
@RestController
public class Application {

    @RequestMapping("/")
    public String home() {
        return "Hello cloud World!";
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
    }

}

Now run maven build, you can get helloworld.jar

Build docker image, helloworld

Create a new folder at another place, named helloworld-image. Then copy helloworld.jar into it.
Create a empty file called Dockerfile.

Dockerfile

FROM openjdk:8-jdk-alpine
COPY helloword.jar /app/helloword.jar
ENTRYPOINT ["java","-jar","/app/helloword.jar"]

Build image

> cd helloworld-image
> docker build --tag=helloworld .

Run image

> docker run -p 4000:8080 helloworld

Spring boot is using port 8080 by default.
Now open browser, access http://localhost:4000/. You should see “Hello cloud World!”
