Docker

Build docker image

There is an Automated Build Task in Docker Cloud in order to build the Docker Image. This task, triggers a new build with every git push to your source code repository to create a 'latest' image. There is another build rule to trigger a new tag and create a 'version-x.y.z' image

You can always manually create the image with the following command:

docker build -t systelab/discovery-service . 

Run the container

docker run -p 8761:8761 systelab/discovery-service

The app will be available at http://localhost:8761
