Docker Payara

Is a simple project in which Docker composes three application services. Its basis is three images

1. The latest payara full server
2. The latest postgres
3. The pgadmin4

Scenario

The main idea of this service composition is to provide a test environment for development based on payara server. The included Dockerfile is used to modify the domain configuration of the payara full server so that it instantly offers a connection resource to a PostgreSQL database (as configured in the provided compose file).

Environment Variables

The following environment variable have been set within as defaults with the service configuration:

1. For payara full server
   • standard ports for deployment, administration and applications are mapped
   • domain configuration adjusted to postgres service
2. For PostgreSQL:
   • standard port is mapped
   • database: swtapplication
   • username: postgres
   • password: adminadmin
3. For pgadmin4:
   • web application mapped to port 80
   • username: user
   • password: secret

Please change this as needed. Keep in mind to also change the domain configuration once you tweak the database settings.

Volumes

For payara full server a deployment folder is a shared volume. You may place applications there to deploy them on service startup. In order to deploy or redeploy applications at a later time, please use remote deployment. For pgadmin4 another volume that pre-configures the connection to the PostgreSQL service's database is shared. For windows hosts, you will also have to activate volume sharing first.

Service Start

To start all services you simply have to build and tag the payara image as 'payara'. On commandline:

docker build --tag=payara .
docker-compose up

Although this is only two instructions on command lines I've added the startservice scripts (bat for Windows and sh for Linux).
