Creating the Deployment Environment
Now it’s time to build a Docker image for this app. The image will be similar to the one you created in Chapter 2, Creating a Deployment Environment, but it will need a few additional dependencies because JRuby won’t be packaged with the app as it was with Warbler. To start, create a Dockerfile in the root directory of the repo and add the following code to it.
| | FROM heroku/jvm |
This instructs Docker to use the same JVM base image you used with Warbler. Now you can provision the Docker container with a JRuby installation by adding this code:
| | RUN mkdir -p /usr/lib/jruby |
| | ENV JRUBY_HOME /usr/lib/jruby |
| | RUN curl -s -L \ |
| | https://s3.amazonaws.com/jruby.org/downloads/9.0.5.0/jruby-bin-9.0.5.0.tar.gz ... |
