Quarkus – Supersonic Subatomic Java, trying out some Quarkus code guides (part2)

In this article, you can read more about a Quarkus code guide I tried out, related to the following topic:

  • Packaging the native executable in a container

In a next article, you can read more about another Quarkus code guide I tried out, related to the following topic:

  • The ability to automatically generate Kubernetes resources by Quarkus

Quarkus guide “Building a Native Executable”

From the Quarkus guide “Creating Your First Application, part “What’s next?”, I clicked on the link “building a native executable guide”.
[https://quarkus.io/guides/getting-started#whats-next]

Building a native executable requires using a distribution of GraalVM.

In my previous article I already covered some of the topics in this code guide. So, I will now continue with the topic related to “Creating a container”.
[https://quarkus.io/guides/building-native-image#creating-a-container]

Remember, for compiling the application to a native executable, I described the following two ways:

  • By using a local GraalVM installation
  • By leveraging a container runtime such as Docker and using a Docker container that embeds GraalVM

[https://technology.amis.nl/2020/09/01/quarkus-supersonic-subatomic-java-trying-out-some-quarkus-code-guides-part1/]

This guide continues with the code in the existing “getting-started” Maven project.

Creating a container manually

You can run the application in a container using the JAR produced by the Quarkus Maven Plugin or by using the produced native executable.

Quarkus provides Dockerfile’s for both options. In this article I will explore these options further.

Remark:
The difference between the Dockerfile.fast-jar and Dockerfile.jvm (both used to build a container that runs the Quarkus application in JVM mode) is the use of four distinct layers in the fast variant:

# We make four distinct layers so if there are application changes the library layers can be re-used
COPY --chown=1001 target/quarkus-app/lib/ /deployments/lib/
COPY --chown=1001 target/quarkus-app/*.jar /deployments/
COPY --chown=1001 target/quarkus-app/app/ /deployments/app/
COPY --chown=1001 target/quarkus-app/quarkus/ /deployments/quarkus/

If you need more information about Docker, you can have a look at the “Dockerfile reference” and the “Docker Cheat Sheet”.
[https://www.docker.com/]

The provided Dockerfiles use UBI (Universal Base Image) as parent image. This base image has been tailored to work perfectly in containers. The Dockerfiles use the minimal version of the base image to reduce the size of the produced image.

Build a container that runs the Quarkus application in JVM mode

Quarkus - Supersonic Subatomic Java, trying out some Quarkus code guides (part2) lameriks 2020 09 12

Below, you can see the content of the src/main/docker/Dockerfile.jvm Dockerfile, provided by the Quarkus project generation:

####
# This Dockerfile is used in order to build a container that runs the Quarkus application in JVM mode
#
# Before building the docker image run:
#
# mvn package
#
# Then, build the image with:
#
# docker build -f src/main/docker/Dockerfile.jvm -t quarkus/getting-started-jvm .
#
# Then run the container using:
#
# docker run -i --rm -p 8080:8080 quarkus/getting-started-jvm
#
# If you want to include the debug port into your docker image
# you will have to expose the debug port (default 5005) like this :  EXPOSE 8080 5050
# 
# Then run the container using : 
#
# docker run -i --rm -p 8080:8080 -p 5005:5005 -e JAVA_ENABLE_DEBUG="true" quarkus/getting-started-jvm

As you can see, this Dockerfile uses the following application resources:

Next, I followed the instructions in the Dockerfile.

I used vagrant ssh to connect into the running VM. Next, in order to build the image, I used the following command on the Linux Command Prompt:

cd /vagrant/applications/getting-started
mvn package
docker build -f src/main/docker/Dockerfile.jvm -t quarkus/getting-started-jvm .

In order to get a list of all the docker images, I used the following command on the Linux Command Prompt:

docker image ls

With the following output:

Quarkus - Supersonic Subatomic Java, trying out some Quarkus code guides (part2) lameriks 2020 09 13

Here you can see that image quarkus/getting-started-jvm:latest is created.

Remark:
See the Dockerfile and the option -t used in the docker build command (docker build -f src/main/docker/Dockerfile.jvm -t quarkus/getting-started-jvm .).
–tag , -t: Name and optionally a tag in the ‘name:tag’ format
[https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/build/]

Next, in order to run the container, I used the following command on the Linux Command Prompt:

docker run -i --rm -p 8090:8090 quarkus/getting-started-jvm

Remark:
In my previous article I described how I changed the application HTTP port from 8080 to 8090, via src/main/resources/application.properties.
[https://technology.amis.nl/2020/09/01/quarkus-supersonic-subatomic-java-trying-out-some-quarkus-code-guides-part1/]

So, I needed to expose port 8090 externally (instead of 8080), mapped to port 8090 inside the container.
See the Dockerfile and the option -p used in the docker run command (docker run -i –rm -p 8080:8080 quarkus/ quarkus/getting-started-jvm .).
–publish , -p: Publish a container’s port(s) to the host
[https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/run/]

With the following output:

Then, in the Web Browser on my Windows laptop, I entered the URL: http://localhost:8090/hello

And I got the following result:

Quarkus - Supersonic Subatomic Java, trying out some Quarkus code guides (part2) lameriks 2020 09 15

So, running the application in a container using the JAR produced by the Quarkus Maven Plugin worked.

Remark:
Remember that on my Windows laptop, I could call port 8090 of my guest operating system because via port forwarding this was made possible.

Build a container that runs the Quarkus application in native (no JVM) mode

Quarkus - Supersonic Subatomic Java, trying out some Quarkus code guides (part2) lameriks 2020 09 16

When using a local GraalVM installation, the native executable targets your local operating system (Linux, macOS, Windows etc). However, as a container may not use the same executable format as the one produced by your operating system, you can instruct the Maven build to produce an executable by leveraging a container runtime (as I described in my previous article).
[https://technology.amis.nl/2020/09/01/quarkus-supersonic-subatomic-java-trying-out-some-quarkus-code-guides-part1/]

The produced executable will be a 64 bit Linux executable, so depending on your operating system it may no longer be runnable. However, it’s not an issue as we are going to copy it to a container.
[https://quarkus.io/guides/building-native-image#manually]

Below, you can see the content of the src/main/docker/Dockerfile.native Dockerfile, provided by the Quarkus project generation:

####
# This Dockerfile is used in order to build a container that runs the Quarkus application in native (no JVM) mode

In order to build the image, I used the following command on the Linux Command Prompt:

docker build -f src/main/docker/Dockerfile.native -t quarkus/getting-started .

With the following output:

In order to get a list of all the docker images, I used the following command on the Linux Command Prompt:

docker image ls

With the following output:

Quarkus - Supersonic Subatomic Java, trying out some Quarkus code guides (part2) lameriks 2020 09 17

Here you can see that image quarkus/getting-started:latest is created.

Remark:
See the Dockerfile and the option -t used in the docker build command (docker build -f src/main/docker/Dockerfile.native -t quarkus/getting-started .).
–tag , -t: Name and optionally a tag in the ‘name:tag’ format
[https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/build/]

Next, in order to run the container, I used the following command on the Linux Command Prompt:

docker run -i --rm -p 8090:8090 quarkus/getting-started

Remark:
See the remark about using application HTTP port 8090 earlier in this article.

With the following output:

Then, in the Web Browser on my Windows laptop, I entered the URL: http://localhost:8090/hello

And I got the following result:

So, running the application in a container using the produced native executable worked.

Creating a container using the container-image extensions

By far the easiest way to create a container-image from your Quarkus application is to leverage one of the container-image extensions.

If one of those extensions is present, then creating a container image for the native executable is essentially a matter of executing a single command:

./mvnw package -Pnative -Dquarkus.native.container-build=true -Dquarkus.container-image.build=true

Remark:

  • quarkus.native.container-build=true allows for creating a Linux executable without GraalVM being installed (and is only necessary if you don’t have GraalVM installed locally or your local operating system is not Linux)
  • quarkus.container-image.build=true instructs Quarkus to create a container-image using the final application artifact (which is the native executable in this case)

[https://quarkus.io/guides/building-native-image#using-the-container-image-extensions]

Remember from my previous article, the build is done using a container runtime. If the Quarkus config property quarkus.native.container-build is set, Docker will be used by default, unless container-runtime (by using property quarkus.native.container-runtime) is also set. In my demo environment I had Docker installed, so this is fine by me.
[https://technology.amis.nl/2020/09/01/quarkus-supersonic-subatomic-java-trying-out-some-quarkus-code-guides-part1/]

Quarkus provides extensions for building (and pushing) container images. Currently it supports:

  • Jib
  • Docker
  • S2I

Please see the documentation for more information about these different extensions.
[https://quarkus.io/guides/container-image]

Using the Docker container-image extension

Because in my demo environment I had Docker installed, I focused on the Docker container-image extension.

The extension quarkus-container-image-docker is using the Docker binary and the generated Dockerfiles under src/main/docker in order to perform Docker builds.
[https://quarkus.io/guides/container-image]

To use this feature, add the extension to your project. So, in order to add it, I used the following command on the Linux Command Prompt:

./mvnw quarkus:add-extension -Dextensions="container-image-docker"

With the following output:

In the pom.xml this added the following dependency:

    <dependency>
      <groupId>io.quarkus</groupId>
      <artifactId>quarkus-container-image-docker</artifactId>

In order to get a list of all the docker images, I used the following command on the Linux Command Prompt:

docker image ls

With the following output:

In order to build the Docker image, I used the following command (mentioned earlier) on the Linux Command Prompt:

For your and my convenience, in the table below I summarized the Quarkus deployment steps (io.quarkus.deployment.pkg.steps) from the output above:
[in bold, I highlighted the changes against the previous summarization]

As you can see in the output above, for creating the native executable, the following docker image is used:

quay.io/quarkus/ubi-quarkus-native-image:20.1.0-java11

In order to get a list of all the docker images, I used the following command on the Linux Command Prompt:

docker image ls

With the following output:

Quarkus - Supersonic Subatomic Java, trying out some Quarkus code guides (part2) lameriks 2020 09 19

Here you can see that image vagrant/getting-started:1.0-SNAPSHOT is created.

Remark:
This name is different from the one we got before, while executing these steps manually (via: docker build -f src/main/docker/Dockerfile.native -t quarkus/getting-started .).

You can see, from the output above that the following command was used to build the docker image:

Executing the following command to build docker image: ‘docker build -f /vagrant/applications/getting-started/src/main/docker/Dockerfile.native -t vagrant/getting-started:1.0-SNAPSHOT /vagrant/applications/getting-started’

So, let’s figure out why this image name and tag was used.

If you want to customize the container image build process, you can use several properties. Please see the documentation.
[https://quarkus.io/guides/container-image#customizing]

With regard to the image name and tag, the following properties are used:

Remark:
In addition to the generic container image options, the container-image-docker also provides some options. Please see the documentation.
[https://quarkus.io/guides/container-image#customizing]

In the example application.properties, I created earlier (described in my previous article), I could see that the image name defaults to the name of the project and the version defaults to the version of the project.
[https://technology.amis.nl/2020/09/01/quarkus-supersonic-subatomic-java-trying-out-some-quarkus-code-guides-part1/]

#
# The name of the application.
# If not set, defaults to the name of the project (except for tests where it is not set at all).
#
#quarkus.application.name=

#
# The version of the application.
# If not set, defaults to the version of the project (except for tests where it is not set at all).
#
#quarkus.application.version=

Remember the contents of pom.xml is:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 https://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd" xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
  <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
  <groupId>org.acme</groupId>
  <artifactId>getting-started</artifactId>
  <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
...
</project>

So, putting it all together: <user>/<name of the project>:<version of the project >

This explains the image name and tag: vagrant/getting-started:1.0-SNAPSHOT

Remark:
A Docker image name can be made up of slash-separated name components.

So, I conclude this article. I shared with you the steps I took trying out the Quarkus code guide “Building a Native Executable”, and more specific the steps related to the topic “Creating a container”. I described how you can create a container manually, using the JAR produced by the Quarkus Maven Plugin or by using a produced native executable.

By far the easiest way to create a container-image from your Quarkus application is to leverage one of the container-image extensions, like the one I used, the Docker container-image extension.

In a next article, you can read more about another Quarkus code guide I tried out, related to the following topic:
