Dockerfile and Amazon Corretto

Managed to crawl out of bed this weekend to play with Dockerfiles and Amazon Corretto (didn't feel well today).

I went to Docker Hub site for Amazon Corretto and was surprised to see Java 19 and thought about using this as my base Docker Image.  

However, went out and checked, and Java 19 is not a LTS version, so I decided to stick with Java 17. 

My Dockerfile:

FROM amazoncorretto:17.0.5-alpine3.16
RUN addgroup -S spring && adduser -S java -G spring
USER java:spring
ARG JAR_FILE=target/*.jar
COPY ${JAR_FILE} app.jar
EXPOSE 8080
ENTRYPOINT ["java","-jar","/app.jar"]

Then I ran the following command: 

docker build -t philiptenn/demo-app .

to create a Docker Image in my local Docker Desktop, and ran it with

docker run -p 8080:8080 philiptenn/demo-app

to create a running container.
