ayannah/jetty repository overview

⁠Jetty 9.2.7.v20150116

⁠Base Docker Image

• java:7

⁠How to use this image

⁠Starting an instance

docker run --name jetty-instance -p 0.0.0.0:8080:8080 -d ayannah/jetty

An example of running Jetty with additional options:

docker run --name jetty-instance -p 0.0.0.0:8080:8080 -d ayannah/jetty jetty --help

On first startup, the container will check if /var/lib/jetty is empty, and it will initialize the folder when necessary.

By default, these are the modules enabled:

• http
• deploy
• jsp
• jstl
• annotations
• logging

During startup, the container will update the owner of all files and folders in /var/lib/jetty to the jetty user.

⁠Environment Variables

JETTY_OPTS

Used to pass additional JVM options. By default, Jetty will use the JVM defaults.

⁠Data volumes

This image declares the JETTY_BASE folder (/var/lib/jetty) as a data volume.

⁠Deploying a WAR file

To copy a WAR file from your current directory to a running container, you may opt to do the following:

docker run \
    -it \
    --rm \
    --volumes-from jetty-instance \
    -v $(pwd):/mnt \
    ayannah/jetty \
    sh -c 'cp /mnt/*.war /var/lib/jetty/webapps'

If your container is running, you will need to restart it to update the permissions of the WAR file.
