In this guide we will show you how to create a Docker container for Odysseus. Such a container can help you to run and share Odysseus more easily. If you want to user our predefined Odysseus Server Docker Container, see Run with Docker.
We assume that you have a Linux system up and running, e.g. Ubuntu. If you want to try it out without changing your system or if you don't have a Linux machine, we recommend VirtualBox.
Now we need a folder where we can put everything that we need in.
tobi@tobi-VirtualBox:~$ ls Desktop Documents Downloads examples.desktop Music Pictures Public Templates Videos tobi@tobi-VirtualBox:~$ cd Documents/ tobi@tobi-VirtualBox:~/Documents$ ls tobi@tobi-VirtualBox:~/Documents$ mkdir odysseusdocker tobi@tobi-VirtualBox:~/Documents$ ls odysseusdocker tobi@tobi-VirtualBox:~/Documents$ cd odysseusdocker/ tobi@tobi-VirtualBox:~/Documents/odysseusdocker$ mkdir odysseus |
#!/bin/sh cd home cd odysseus echo "Starting Odysseus ..." ./odysseus |
# We will use Ubuntu as our basis FROM ubuntu:15.10 # We need Java 8 - install Java 8 on that Ubuntu machine RUN apt-get update RUN apt-get install software-properties-common -y RUN add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java -y RUN apt-get update RUN echo debconf shared/accepted-oracle-license-v1-1 select true | debconf-set-selections RUN apt-get install oracle-java8-installer -y RUN apt-get install oracle-java8-set-default # Add java to environment variables ENV JAVA_HOME /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle # Start Odysseus on startup of the container ADD startup.sh /home/startup.sh ADD odysseus /home/odysseus CMD ./home/startup.sh # We need a port to be exposed - this is the port for the WebService from Odysseus EXPOSE 9669 |
Now we have everything prepared in that folder.

Now we can run the Docker container:
