sbt-docker is an sbt plugin that builds and pushes Docker images for your project.
- sbt
- Docker
Add sbt-docker as a dependency in project/plugins.sbt:
addSbtPlugin("se.marcuslonnberg" % "sbt-docker" % "1.9.0")
Below are some documentation on the sbt tasks and settings in the plugin.
This blog post gives a good introduction to the basics of sbt-docker: Dockerizing your Scala apps with sbt-docker
Also, take a look at the example projects.
Start by enabling the plugin in your build.sbt file:
enablePlugins(DockerPlugin)This sets up some settings with default values and adds tasks such as docker which builds a Docker image.
The only required setting that is left to define is docker / dockerfile.
If you want your Dockerfile to contain one or several artifacts (such as JAR files) that your
project generates, then you must make the docker task depend on the tasks that generate them.
It could for example be with the package task or with tasks from plugins such as
sbt-assembly.
In order to produce a Docker image a Dockerfile must be defined.
It should be defined at the docker / dockerfile key.
There is a mutable and an immutable Dockerfile class available, both provides a DSL which resembles
the plain text Dockerfile format.
The mutable class is default and is used in the following examples.
Example with the sbt-assembly plugin:
docker / dockerfile := {
// The assembly task generates a fat JAR file
val artifact: File = assembly.value
val artifactTargetPath = s"/app/${artifact.name}"
new Dockerfile {
from("openjdk:8-jre")
add(artifact, artifactTargetPath)
entryPoint("java", "-jar", artifactTargetPath)
}
}Example with sbt-native-packager:
enablePlugins(sbtdocker.DockerPlugin, JavaAppPackaging)
docker / dockerfile := {
val appDir: File = stage.value
val targetDir = "/app"
new Dockerfile {
from("openjdk:8-jre")
entryPoint(s"$targetDir/bin/${executableScriptName.value}")
copy(appDir, targetDir, chown = "daemon:daemon")
}
}Example with the sbt package task.
docker / dockerfile := {
val jarFile: File = (Compile / packageBin / sbt.Keys.`package`).value
val classpath = (Compile / managedClasspath).value
val mainclass = (Compile / packageBin / mainClass).value.getOrElse(sys.error("Expected exactly one main class"))
val jarTarget = s"/app/${jarFile.getName}"
// Make a colon separated classpath with the JAR file
val classpathString = classpath.files.map("/app/" + _.getName)
.mkString(":") + ":" + jarTarget
new Dockerfile {
// Base image
from("openjdk:8-jre")
// Add all files on the classpath
add(classpath.files, "/app/")
// Add the JAR file
add(jarFile, jarTarget)
// On launch run Java with the classpath and the main class
entryPoint("java", "-cp", classpathString, mainclass)
}
}Example with a Dockerfile in the filesystem.
docker / dockerfile := NativeDockerfile(file("subdirectory") / "Dockerfile")Have a look at DockerfileExamples for different ways of defining a Dockerfile.
Dockerfile instructions that are missing from the sbt-docker DSL can still be used by calling the .customInstruction(instructionName, arguments) method.
Example:
new Dockerfile {
customInstruction("FROM", "openjdk AS stage1")
run("build")
customInstruction("FROM", "openjdk AS stage2")
customInstruction("COPY", "--from=stage1 /path/to/file /path/to/file")
customInstruction("STOPSIGNAL", "SIGQUIT")
entryPoint("application")
}To build an image use the docker task.
Simply run sbt docker from your prompt or docker in the sbt console.
An image that have already been built can be pushed with the dockerPush task.
To both build and push an image use the dockerBuildAndPush task.
The docker / imageNames key is used to determine which image names to push.
You can specify the names / tags you want your image to get after a successful build with the docker / imageNames key of type Seq[sbtdocker.ImageName].
Example:
docker / imageNames := Seq(
// Sets the latest tag
ImageName(s"${organization.value}/${name.value}:latest"),
// Sets a name with a tag that contains the project version
ImageName(
namespace = Some(organization.value),
repository = name.value,
tag = Some("v" + version.value)
)
)Use the key docker / buildOptions to set build options.
The platforms parameter enables the cross-platform build.
With valuing this parameter the docker image will build using buildx command and the host environment should already been set up for.
docker run --privileged --rm tonistiigi/binfmt --install alldocker / buildOptions := BuildOptions(
cache = false,
removeIntermediateContainers = BuildOptions.Remove.Always,
pullBaseImage = BuildOptions.Pull.Always,
platforms = List("linux/arm64/v8"),
additionalArguments = Seq("--add-host", "127.0.0.1:12345", "--compress")
)Use the key docker / dockerBuildArguments to set build arguments.
Example:
docker / dockerBuildArguments := Map(
"KEY" -> "value",
"CREDENTIALS" -> sys.env("CREDENTIALS")
)
docker / dockerfile := {
new Dockerfile {
// ...
arg("KEY")
arg("CREDENTIALS")
env("KEY" -> "$KEY", "CREDENTIALS" -> "$CREDENTIALS")
// ...
}
}Images can be built with BuildKit by enabling it in the daemon configuration or by passing the environment variable DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1 to sbt.
