I am new to Docker

Docker version 18.03.0-ce, build 0520e24 running on RHEL 7.

I created a simple ReST service using the Spring tutorial. The uber jar runs fine on my windows machine and I am able to access the service via the browser.

The Dockerfile:

# fetch basic image
FROM openjdk:latest

# application placed into /opt/app
RUN mkdir -p /opt/app
WORKDIR /opt/app

# local application port
EXPOSE 8080

Now, I executed the following steps

1.Build the image

docker build --tag=java-rest

2.Run the container

docker run -p 18080:8080 -t -i java-rest

3.Check if the container is up

[root@l5341t ~]# docker ps -a
CONTAINER ID        IMAGE               COMMAND             CREATED              STATUS                          PORTS                     NAMES
38ec56c99135        java-rest           "bash"              About a minute ago   Up About a minute               0.0.0.0:18080->8080/tcp   infallible_yalow

4.Copy the jar file to the container

docker cp /localhome/ojoqcu/code/java/gs-rest-service-0.1.0.jar 38ec56c99135:/opt/app/gs-rest-service-0.1.0.jar

5.Run the container and also the jar

docker run -p 18080:8080 -t -i java-rest
root@38ec56c99135:/opt/app# ls
gs-rest-service-0.1.0.jar
root@38ec56c99135:/opt/app#
root@38ec56c99135:/opt/app#
root@38ec56c99135:/opt/app# java -jar gs-rest-service-0.1.0.jar

6.On the container, the application is running

root@38ec56c99135:/opt/app# ps -eaf
UID        PID  PPID  C STIME TTY          TIME CMD
root         1     0  0 13:43 pts/0    00:00:00 bash
root         8     1  0 13:47 pts/0    00:00:14 java -jar gs-rest-service-0.1.0.
root        54     0  0 14:16 pts/1    00:00:00 bash
root        60    54  0 14:17 pts/1    00:00:00 ps -eaf

2.From my local Windows machine's browser(I think it's still hitting the Spring Boot's embedded server but unsure!)

http://l5341t:18080/
Whitelabel Error Page
This application has no explicit mapping for /error, so you are seeing this as a fallback.

  • in the 2. docker with Spring is responding, but saying that you didn't configure any / path. Maybe the example REST has a @RequestMapping("/greeting") , so you should call http://l5341t:18080/greeting . From the local RHEL 7 machine, instead, shouldn't you connect to 8080 instead of 18080? – IgrewupwithSlackware May 24 '18 at 14:30

I ain't digging deeper in the Spring code(it works perfectly on WIndows/Linux machines but not in the container!) but it seems that the issue is really with the code and not the Docker config. I found an answer here.
