Introduction

  • Users can build their own Docker images for JOC Cockpit.
  • This article explains options how to create the JOC Cockpit image.

Build Environment

For the build environment the following directory hierarchy is assumed:

The root directory joc could have any name. The above build files are available for download. Consider that below build script by default will use the directory name and release number to determine the resulting image name.

Dockerfile

Docker images for JS7 JOC Cockpit provided by SOS make use of the following Dockerfile:

Dockerfile for JOC Cockpit Image
FROM openjdk:8-jre-alpine

Explanations:

  • Line 1: The base image is OpenJDK Java 1.8 (Alpine based). You can run JOC Cockpit with newer Java releases, however, stick to Oracle, OpenJDK or AdoptOpenJDK as the source for your Java base image. Alternatively you can use your own base image and install Java 1.8 on top of this. Consider that availability of JDBC Drivers can limit the Java version to be used.
  • Line 8 - 9: The release identification is injected by build arguments. This information is used to determine the tarball to be downloaded.
  • Line 12 - 15: Defaults for the user id running the JOC Cockpit inside the container as well as HTTP and HTTPS ports are provided. These values can be overwritten by providing the respective build arguments.
  • Line 20 - 22: Environment variables are provided at run-time, not at build-time. They can be used to specify ports and Java options when running the container.
  • Line 27 - 30: The image OS is updated and additional packages are installed (ps, netstat, bash).
  • Line 33 - 34: You can either download the JOC Cockpit tarball directly from the SOS web site or you store the tarball with the build directory and copy from this location.
  • Line 37 - 38: The default keystore and truststore files are copied that would hold the private key and certificate required for server authentication with HTTPS. By default empty keystore and truststore files are used that you would later on add your private keys and certificates to.
  • Line 45: the joc_install.xml response file is copied to the image. This file includes settings for headless installation of JOC Cockpit, see JS7 - JOC Cockpit Installation On Premises. In fact when building the image a JOC Cockpit installation is performed.

Instead /dev/urandom should be used that implements non-blocking behavior. The change of the random file is applied to the Java security file.

  • Line 70: The Jetty servlet container is added the HTTPS module for use with JOC Cockpit.
  • Line 79: if a config folder is available in the build directory then its contents is copied to the respective config folder in the image. This can be useful to create an image with individual settings in configuration files, see JS7 - JOC Cockpit Configuration Items.
  • Line 86: The start script is executed and is dynamically parameterized from environment variables that are forwarded when starting the container.

Build Script

The build script offers a number of options to parameterize the Dockerfile:

Build Script for JOC Cockpit Image
#!/bin/sh

set -e

SCRIPT_HOME="`cd "${SCRIPT_HOME}" >/dev/null && pwd`"

Explanations:

  • Line 12 - 22: Default values are specified that are used if no command line arguments are provided. This includes values for
    • the release number: adjust this value to a current release of JS7.
    • the repository which by default is sosberlin:js7.
    • the image name is determined from the current folder name and the release number.
    • the user id is by default the user id of the user running the build script.
    • the HTTP port and HTTPS port: if the respective port is not specified then the JOC Cockpit will not listen to a port for the respective protocol. You can for example disable the HTTP protocol by specifying an empty value. The default ports should be fine as they are mapped by the run script to outside ports on the Docker host. However, you can modify ports as you like.
    • Java options: typically you would specify default values e.g. for Java memory consumption. The Java options can be overwritten by the run script when starting the container, however, you might want to create your own image with adjusted default values.
  • Line 27 - 50: The above options can be overwritten by command line arguments like this:


    Running the Build Script with Arguments
    ./build.sh --http-port=14445 --https-port=14443 --java-options="-Xmx1G"
  • Line 54 - 63: The effective docker build command is executed with arguments. The Dockerfile is assumed to be located with the build sub-directory of the current directory.
