Docker

Motivation

As a developer testing WildFly back-end REST API components,
I want to spin up an Arquillian test environment,
So my unit and integration testing is supported.

Docker is my chosen container for spinning up WildFly instances.

Goals

• Create separate environments for Dev, Test, and Production
• Tie in with Continuous Integration (CI) tools (Jenkins currently)
• Work with Docker and AWS

How Tos

• Docker Install (Ubuntu 18.04 is a recommended OS, others are available)
• Creating Docker Images supporting WildFly containers
• Securing the credentials used by Docker/WildFly containers
• Installing the modules and Jars required by the application
• SSH into a running Docker instance: https://phoenixnap.com/kb/how-to-ssh-into-docker-container
• Debugging wars running in WildFly Docker Container — Java 11
