Hola Docker with Spring Boot

Updated: Now the code uses Spring Boot 2 and Java 10.

This project shows you how to dockerize a Spring Boot application using a single Dockerfile or combining it with docker-compose.

The guide to build the code and understand the different alternatives is located at https://thepracticaldeveloper.com/2017/12/11/dockerize-spring-boot/.

Running the app with Docker

Make sure you generate first the .jar file by running:

mvn clean package

Then, you just need to execute:

docker-compose up

Note that there are two Dockerfiles in this repository. The Dockerfile-build not only runs the app in the container but also builds it using Maven. Check out the post for more details.
