How to define a system property for the JVM with the new f-m-p

[Charles Moulliard]

Hi,

Is there a trick to define a system property for the JVM with the new f-m-p ?

Regards,

Charles

there is a reference to the environment variables you can use/set here:

https://hub.docker.com/r/fabric8/java-alpine-openjdk8-jdk/

e.g. use JAVA_OPTIONS to expose system properties.

There's an example of how to define environment variables in your src/main/fabric8/deployment.yml file here:

https://github.com/fabric8-quickstarts/spring-boot-camel-amq/blob/master/src/main/fabric8/deployment.yml#L13-L15

Thanks James

Kubernetes refuses that I use as name this value  

spec:

  replicas: 1

  template:

    spec:

      containers:

        - env:

          - name: swarm.project.stage

            value: default

--> error generated spec.template.spec.containers[0].env[0].name: Invalid value: "swarm.project.stage": must be a C identifier (matching regex [A-Za-z_][A-Za-z0-9_]*): e.g. "my_name" or "MyName"

Is there a workaround to allow to pass "java -jar -Dswarm.project.stage=OPENSHIFT" ?

Environment variable names cannot contain dots (values obviously can).

Regardless, you're mixing up environment variables & system properties. As James said in his reply, the environment variable name is JAVA_OPTIONS & the value should contain the system properties you want to set, just as you would on the command line, e.g. -D....

Works better using 

          - name: JAVA_OPTIONS

            value: -Dswarm.project.stage=OPENSHIFT

Many thanks
