discussion:provide official docker image of Apache OFBiz?
Good morning,
Shouldn't we provide a official docker image in hub.docker.com as most
open source projects do?
This could ease the installation of ofbiz, even with including the
dependencies which is possible with gradle >3.5
To already prepare, I reserved the ofbiz username .
more info at: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-10407
opinions?

Hi Jonhson,
For this, you can apply a hook into a running Docker container using the
command "docker exec -it <container> bash". Basically, you need to
configure your EntityEngine.xml file for using the stock DB. For more
information on how to configure EntityEngine.xml, please visit here
<https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/Entity+Engine+Configuration+Guide>
.
As for as the sample data is concerned, you can exclude the demo data
reader from the gradle target used to load data. (i.e. don't use ./gradlew
loadAll, use specific one ./gradlew "ofbiz --load-data
readers=seed,seed-initial,ext-seed,ext"). You need to run this command from
the root of your project in the container.
HTH!
Thanks & Regards

Re: discussion:provide official docker image of Apache OFBiz?

Hello and thank you. I recently downloaded the image, ofbiz/fulltrunk, to see if ofbiz would meet my needs and it appears that it will far exceed them! Is there a way to run a docker without the sample data? I fully believe the stock db will be plenty for my needs especially if I can start with an empty version or scrub the current data.
I want to run ofbiz in a docker container rather than a standalone.

Hi All,
I also tried docker as a development platform by bind-mounting my custom
plugins folder with docker container's plugins folder. It was a good
experience for me, however, I did it just for a PoC. Here is the same
command I used for mounting:
docker run -it --name=docker-ofbiz -d -v ~/plugins/:/ofbiz-17.12/plugins
-p 8080:8080 -p 8443:8443 ofbiz/full-trunk

Re: discussion:provide official docker image of Apache OFBiz?
Posted by Taher Alkhateeb <sl...@gmail.com>.
Hi Paul and everyone:
Two quick notes on your feedback:
1- You can improve your docker file by symlinking the log to stdout, this
way you can view logs with the simple command "docker logs containeridhere"
2- I tried docker as a development platform, and it doesn't really fit that
environment very well. There are too many problems like setting up the IDE,
user permissions, gradle cache issues and so on not to mention that if you
rely on postgres then you must have a docker-compose.yml file. The feedback
loop is also longer and a bit awkward. So perhaps I would not go as far as
saying we should remove derby and only use docker with postgres. For me I
tried that and it wasn't a very smooth experience.

Probably out of scope for me and the mailing list to sell you on the benefits of containerization, but (in my crappy opinion) there’s a reason that docker is valued at over a billion dollars and all major cloud hosting providers support containers natively now. I think it’s built into some linux distros now.
I encourage you to try it out and see for yourself:
1) install docker: https://docs.docker.com/install/ <https://docs.docker.com/install/>
2) docker run -d -p 8080:8080 -p 8443:8443 marcopinball/ofbiz-demo:latest
3) if you want to monitor logs:
docker ps, find container ID
docker exec -ti <container id> tail -f /ofbiz/runtime/logs/ofbiz.log
Ta-da, running ofbiz with demo data on https://localhost:8443.
When done just docker rm -f <container id> the container and it’s gone! no cleanup and your system remains unaffected.
This is just OOTB w/ Derby. Want to quickly test ofbiz against a different version of java? Just edit the dockerfile (below) and point it at the java image you want, and run.
This works on Mac, Linux, Windows.
Here’s the docker file and image I slapped together (referenced above) as a proof of concept. IT SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED BEST PRACTICES OR PRODUCTION READY. Again, I am not an expert here.
It may or may not be best practices but it’s a good starting point for anyone else messing with it:
https://hub.docker.com/r/marcopinball/ofbiz-demo/ <https://hub.docker.com/r/marcopinball/ofbiz-demo/>

I don't think this kind of incantative tone serves your cause.
Being enthousiastic about a technology is one thing but pretending it
will make everything easy, agile, allow everyone to save money, and
avoid headaches sounds more like bullshit...
IMHO some code, facts, measurements and an enonciation of the necessary
tradeoffs would be more convincing.

STRONG +1 here as an end user.
Having a solid tested reference implementation would save man years of
time in development, testing, and deployment especially for small
teams that are weak in the devops department.
I started playing with this but it’s a back burner project right now.
A proper set of docker images and a reference docker compose
architecture based around Postgres would be ideal going forward. Then
SOLR could also be managed as a docker image. One of the biggest new
user pain points for ofbiz is figuring out how to switch the database
to a real dbms. We could then just drop support for derby as the only
reason it’s there is that it supposedly saves time for testing ofbiz.
Docker Postgres solves that problem and is the clear standard for open
source databases now.
Making docker ofbiz the standard starting point also eliminates all
the cross platform java headaches which I see at lest a post or two a
week about.
It would also accelerate adoption, development, and save everyone
money long term as it makes it super easy to fire up and iterate
ofbiz.

We need to think and discuss this otherwise I'm not quite sure how much
value people would get from having a docker image. I don't have two docker
files that are identical for the projects we work on because of
customizations and differences.
So to create a docker image you might want to think of some things like:
- what is it used for? Demo purpose? Will it allow loading different data
readers?
- should you allow loading different databases with an accompanying
docker-compose script in the documentation of the image?
- what options / flags should you add to docker image?
- where should we keep the source?
- should we version ofbiz images like is done in some other images?
- how should we structure the volumes for framework and gradle cache?
So I think more details are needed here.
