What is Java?
Java is a general-purpose computer programming language that is concurrent, class-based, object-oriented, and specifically designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible.
$ docker run -it --name java bitnami/java
Docker Compose
$ curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-java/master/docker-compose.yml > docker-compose.yml
$ docker-compose up -d
Why use Bitnami Images?
- Bitnami closely tracks upstream source changes and promptly publishes new versions of this image using our automated systems.
- With Bitnami images the latest bug fixes and features are available as soon as possible.
- Bitnami containers, virtual machines and cloud images use the same components and configuration approach - making it easy to switch between formats based on your project needs.
- Bitnami images are built on CircleCI and automatically pushed to the Docker Hub.
- All our images are based on minideb a minimalist Debian based container image which gives you a small base container image and the familiarity of a leading linux distribution.

Get this image
The recommended way to get the Bitnami Java Docker Image is to pull the prebuilt image from the Docker Hub Registry.
$ docker pull bitnami/java:latest
To use a specific version, you can pull a versioned tag. You can view the list of available versions in the Docker Hub Registry.
$ docker pull bitnami/java:[TAG]
If you wish, you can also build the image yourself.
$ docker build -t bitnami/java https://github.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-java.git
Running your Java jar or war
The default work directory for the Java image is /app
. You can mount a folder from your host here that includes your Java jar or war, and run it normally using the java
command.
$ docker run -it --name java -v /path/to/app:/app bitnami/java \
java -jar package.jar
