We are having java code that runs curl command to fetch the some result.
We have built a jar file and the jar file executes fine
Now, when we try to dokerize the java program (using jar) and run the application in docker we get this error:
errorjava.io.IOException: Cannot run program "curl": error=2, No such file or directory at java.lang.ProcessBuilder.start(ProcessBuilder.java:1048) at com.ps.api.common.CoreAPI_Spec.executeCoreAPI(CoreAPI_Spec.java:295) at com.ps.api.common.CoreAPI_Spec.getAccessTokens(CoreAPI_Spec.java:319)
Dockerfile used :
FROM ubuntu:16.04 MAINTAINER niro; # Install prerequisites RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y \ curl FROM java:8-jdk-alpine # Set the working directory to /app WORKDIR /Users/******/Desktop/CoreAPI_Jar # Copy the current directory contents into the container at /app ADD *******_Automation-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar ******_Automation-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar # Run app.py when the container launches CMD ["java", "-jar", "******-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar"]
Docker Alpine Curl. Like it says, it's a docker image built on alpine with curl installed. Size 5.93 MB.
A minimal Docker image based on Alpine Linux has only 5 MB in size, but a lot of tools common for Linux distributions (e.g. curl ) are not installed by default. In this short note i will show how to install curl in Alpine container from the command line.
Curl is not unavailable because it has been "wiped out", curl just is not part of Alpine by default. @CaptainMan: But it is going to be installed in the Dockerfile and will be wiped after the second FROM statement.
The Java base image you are using is Alpine Linux one and curl package also needs to be downloaded from there. Here is Dockerfile I have used for Production deployments.
FROM openjdk:8-jre-alpine RUN apk add --update \ curl \ && rm -rf /var/cache/apk/*
As of Alpine Linux 3.3 there exists a new --no-cache
option for apk
. It allows users to install packages with an index that is updated and used on-the-fly and not cached locally:
FROM openjdk:8-jre-alpine RUN apk --no-cache add curl
This avoids the need to use --update
and remove /var/cache/apk/*
when done installing packages.
Reference - https://github.com/gliderlabs/docker-alpine/blob/master/docs/usage.md and Thank you @Daniel for the comment.
Your example dockerfile contains multiple FROM
statements. This is valid but as the documentation says each FROM
clears the state from previous instructions. And so the fresh installed curl is wiped after the second FROM
.
