zpaulo/java repository overview

⁠Minimal Docker image with Java

Basic Docker⁠ image to run Java⁠ applications. This is based on Alpine Linux⁠ to keep the size minimal (about 25% of an ubuntu-based image).

⁠Tags

• latest or 8 or serverjre-8⁠: Oracle Java 8 (Server JRE)
• jdk-8⁠: Oracle Java 8 (JDK)
• jre-8⁠: Oracle Java 8 (JRE)

Additionally, tags are created for each oracle release (e.g. 8u161, jdk-8u161 or jre-8u161).

Note: Sometimes Oracle releases two versions at the same time : a CPU (Critical Patch Update) with only critical bug fixes, and a PSU (Patch Set Update) with additional "non-critical fixes". In this case, the CPU will be the default, as recommended by oracle⁠. If needed, PSU releases are still accessible, by using their specific release tag (e.g jdk-8u162)

⁠Usage

Example:

docker run -it --rm zpaulo/java:8 java -version
