Spring Docker

The document outlines an 8-step process for running a Spring Boot application in Docker with a database connection configured using environment variables. The steps include modifying the application to reference environment variables, creating a .env file with database credentials, building a Dockerfile, ignoring unnecessary files, building the Docker image, running the container, and accessing the application. Following these steps keeps sensitive database information secure outside of the application properties and Dockerfile.

STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE: RUNNING A


SPRING BOOT APPLICATION IN
DOCKER WITH DATABASE
CONNECTION AND ENVIRONMENT
VARIABLES
CODEWITH_RAJESH

RAJESH KUMAR

STEP 1:
SET UP YOUR SPRING BOOT
APPLICATION

Ensure that your Spring Boot application is


properly configured to connect to the database.
This may involve configuring the data source,
such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, or H2, in the
application.properties or application.yml file.

STEP 2:
USE ENVIRONMENT
VARIABLES FOR DATABASE
CONFIGURATION
Modify your application.properties or
application.yml file to reference environment
variables for the database configuration:

STEP 3:
CREATE A .env FILE

In the root directory of your Spring Boot project,


create a .env file with the following content
Replace your-database-host, your-database-
name, your-database-username, and your-
database-password with the actual values for
your database.

STEP 4:
CREATE A DOCKER FILE

Create a Dockerfile in the root directory of your


Spring Boot application with the following
content
CODEWITH_RAJESH

STEP 5:
CREATE A .dockerignore FILE

Create a .dockerignore file in the same directory


as the Dockerfile to exclude unnecessary files
and directories from being copied into the Docker
image. This helps to reduce the image size and
build time.

STEP 7:
RUN THE DOCKER CONTANIER

After the Docker image is successfully built, you


can run a container using the following command
CODEWITH_RAJESH

STEP 8:
ACCESS YOUR APPLICATION

Your Spring Boot application with the database


connection details read from the .env file should
now be running inside a Docker container. You
can access it by opening a web browser and
visiting http://localhost:8080 (or the custom port
you specified in the application if different)

By following these steps, you can run your Spring


Boot application in Docker with environment
variables for database configuration, while
keeping sensitive information secure and not
exposing it in the Dockerfile or application
properties.
