Hello, Following on from the various docker discussions I wanted to mention an approach of building a docker image based on the current development workspace using gradle.
Please give it a try - danwatford/ofbiz-framework at docker-from-gradle (github.com) <https://github.com/danwatford/ofbiz-framework/tree/docker-from-gradle> I have run these steps on a Windows 10 PRO machine, running commands from git-bash. To build the ofbiz image: ./gradlew --no-daemon buildDockerImage This will create an image, tagged ofbiz:latest, based on the current workspace with all demo data loaded. To run the image in a container: docker run -it --rm --publish 8080:8080 --publish 8443:8443 ofbiz:latest Visit https://localhost:8443/partymgr Username / Password: admin / ofbiz The above container will be deleted when the process is terminated. The approach of building the image from the current workspace might be useful as a way of quickly testing out PR merges. Further, by building from gradle we can change the content of the docker image based on build properties or environment variables. For example we could build multiple images with various database drivers already included (where licensing permits). I wonder if the dev community sees any value in the gradle build approach compared to manually creating Dockerfiles either directly in the ofbiz-framework sources or held in another repository. Thanks, Dan. -- Daniel Watford
