• • • • • There are a lot of benefits when you’re running applications on Docker. For one, you don’t have to set up different development environments for each version of your application. For instance, if you’re creating a Maven and Java-based application and you’ret using Docker, you would need to install both and on your machine. But using Docker, you only have to get the Maven image from the Docker Hub and then use that image to create, test, and run your applications. Speaking of testing, you can also rely on Docker to easily test your application on different database frameworks, different Java versions, and other run time variations. It can effortlessly give you all the test environments you need by putting your applications and databases in multiple containers. And you’ll also appreciate how it makes packaging and deployment a whole lot easier and simpler. An application that runs on your local machine using a will run on any of your target servers. You can package your applications in a container and include the dependencies and configurations to ensure that it will work on another machine, in test environments, and even in production. You do not have to worry about installing the same set of configurations on different machines. How can you get your application’s configuration onto Docker containers? ![]() Docker utilities for mac would now make use of these environment variables for selecting the right host and configuration to communicate with. Lets see what does the docker engine running on this newly provisioned Linux machine (dicomDev) replies. Just bake the application configuration into the Docker container. The easiest way is to just put all your and then make the Dockerfile, which contains all the configuration settings, available for download. You can change the configurations using sed or echo through the RUN command. It’s easy, too. If there is an available container on the Docker Hub Registry that has the most of the configurations you want to use, you can just fork that particular Dockerfile on GitHub and create the changes to make it fully conform to the configuration you want. After making the modifications, you can just add it as a new container on the. The good thing about this method is that you can get the same development and production environments because these will use the same configuration settings within the container image. However, because the configuration settings are baked into the image, you might have to do more when you want to introduce some changes in the future, such as needing to have additional revisions to the build file or Dockerfile and then adding a new build of the image itself. Use environment variables. There is also another reason why baking the configuration into the image would be a bad idea.
