RUN Command Support in docker-maven-plugin #1312

Open gkulkarni2020 opened 4 years ago

gkulkarni2020 commented 4 years ago

I have been using Dockerfile for my project with a sample code like given below.

RUN groupadd syslog && apt-get update && apt-get -q install -y curl logrotate iproute2

I would like to convert this to pom.xml so that other micro-services can inherit it.

I surely cannot add this under build tag as I cannot and don't want this to get executed at the build time, I rather want this to set up logrotate in the container when the container starts up.

I tried adding few run commands, but that did not work. I am trying to understand which XML tag needs to be used for making sure my container RUNs the command on start up?

have you checked out RunImageConfiguration in docs? Here is an example:

Actually, everything in the Dockerfile is running during build time in order to prepare the container image. So I don't really understand your use case here. In your example logrotate is installed during docker build, not docker run (everything within a Dockerfile is executed during build time).

Said that you can provide an entrypoint or command in the run configuration which is executed when a container is started (otherwise the default from the image is used). Use entrypoint or cmd as described in https://dmp.fabric8.io/#start-configuration for executing code during startup (but this code must obviously already be contained within the container image).
