How to transfer Karaf installation and setup to offline server?
I'm a bit new to working with Karaf, but have set up locally a Karaf 3
installation (on Windows) and have developed an application consisting of a
number of OSGI bundles. So now I want to move what I have set up to test
and production tier servers. The thing is, these servers have no internet
connection enabled; they are internal only.
As part of my bundle requirements, I created a REST endpoint so I used the
feature repo and install for cxf and http. When I tried this when setting
up on my test server it of course complained about not being able to
download the package. Next I tried creating a kar archive of the cxf
feature, which appeared to work, except that when I drop that in the deploy
folder on the test server it still didn't work and complained about not
being able to find the maven URL for the package.
So ultimately, is there a definitive way I should be going about setting up
Karaf and my application (and dependencies) on a standalone server once I've
done my development? I have the stock Karaf install, the cxf repo with cxf
and http features installed, probably a half dozen separate maven libraries
I had to add, and my application code. I found the page about doing a
custom distribution
(http://karaf.apache.org/manual/latest/developers-guide/custom-distribution.html)
which maybe sounds like what I'm looking for, but do I ignore the deprecated
section? What is the most straightforward way to take an existing and
working karaf installation and set it up somewhere else when that
destination won't have Internet connectivity?
Thanks for any info,

Hello,
you can find a complete example in a project I have created on github at
[1].
The interesting pieces are in the _blended-karaf-parent_ module where
all the required plugins
are configured. There is a sample container in the
module_blended-karaf-demo_.
In the sample container you will find a directory src/main/resources/etc
which holds replacement file
for the etc directory if you wanted to change certain configs within the
underlying karaf distro.
Also, the setup uses the features-maven-plugin to prepopulate the system
directory for offline usage.
Note, that this setup also creates an offline installer that does not
require karaf to be running to use it.
I have simply reused the karaf code that was executed within the shell
command and repackeaged that
into an offline installer. Perhaps you do not require that functionality.
If of interest, there is a module that packages the outcome of the
package outlined above into a docker image
at _blended-docker/blended-docker-demo_. The intention is to be able to
use that as a container within integration
tests.
An example integration test is in the module _blended/blended-akka-itest_.
Some preliminary documentation for the project is at [2], but I haven't
found the time to write the docs for the packaging and integration tests.
If you want to have a look at the latest build outputs to see what the
maven build looks like, look at [3].

Hi,
you can create your own distribution (as we do in ServiceMix) to
populate the system repo. Like this you have your own atomic and
standalone Karaf runtime.
You can also create kar files that you drop in the deploy folder.
Another possible way is to create a Maven repository on the filesystem
that you refer into etc/org.ops4j.pax.url.mvn.cfg.
Regards
JB

Hi,
I think the best way is building your own karaf distribution and use it in Test/Production env.
1) using karaf-maven-plugin to assemble 3rd party and your apps features/bundles into karaf_home/system, an sample:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.karaf.tooling</groupId>
<artifactId>karaf-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>${karaf.version}</version>
<extensions>true</extensions>
<executions>
<execution>
<id>add-features-to-repo</id>
<phase>process-resources</phase>
<goals>
<goal>features-add-to-repository</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<descriptors>
<descriptor>mvn:org.apache.cxf.karaf/apache-cxf/2.7.12/xml/features </descriptor>
<descriptor>mvn:com.your.company/app.feature/${version}/xml/features</descriptor>
......
</descriptors>
<features>
<feature>cxf-http</feature>
<feature>cxf-jawrs</feature>
<feature>abc</feature>
......
</features>
<repository>target/features-repo</repository>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
2) make change to etc/ org.ops4j.pax.url.mvn.cfg
org.ops4j.pax.url.mvn.localRepository=file:${karaf.home}/${karaf.default.repository}@id=system.repository
(with this configure, karaf will look up the system/ at first, and then local maven repo (.m2), then remote maven centre)
Regards.
