Docker Image payara/server-full - no Debug mode?

[Ralph Soika]

Hi,

I am trying to setup a payara environment with docker. Therefore I use the official docker image payara/server-full form docker hub.

For several hours I try to start the payara container in debug mode with no success.

My first thought was to pass the debug option in the environment variable POSTBOOT_COMMANDS, but this did not work.

POSTBOOT_COMMANDS: "--debug=true"

Can anybody help me with this?

Hi Ralph,

In order to run in debug, the --debug option has to be passed to the startInForeground.sh script. Currently, this can only be done by overwriting the default docker entrypoint and adding the --debug option, like this:

docker run -p 9080:8080 -p 9109:9009 --entrypoint '/bin/bash' payara/server-full -c '${PAYARA_PATH}/generate_deploy_commands.sh && ${PAYARA_PATH}/bin/startInForeground.sh --passwordfile=/opt/pwdfile -d --postbootcommandfile ${POSTBOOT_COMMANDS} ${PAYARA_DOMAIN}'

The debug port 9009 is bound to 9109.

This isn't very simple nor intuitive and I would like to simplify this scenario.

Hi Ondro,

thanks a lot. This looks good. It works if I use version 181 and later.

But I need again your help. I want to start the container as part of a docker-compose file. 

I tried the following:

version: "3.1"
services:
  myapp:
    image: payara/server-full:181
    ports:
      - "8080:8080"
      - "4848:4848"
      - "8181:8181"
    entrypoint: "'/bin/bash' payara/server-full -c '/opt/payara41/generate_deploy_commands.sh && /opt/payara41/bin/startInForeground.sh --passwordfile=/opt/pwdfile -d --postbootcommandfile ${POSTBOOT_COMMANDS} ${PAYARA_DOMAIN}'"
.....

But this seems to be nonsons. It results in

docker-compose up
WARNING: The POSTBOOT_COMMANDS variable is not set. Defaulting to a blank string.
WARNING: The PAYARA_DOMAIN variable is not set. Defaulting to a blank string.
Recreating myapp_1
nordic-workflow_1  | /bin/bash: payara/server-full: No such file or directory
myapp__1 exited with code 127

 Can you give a hint how the entrypoint must look in a docker-compose.yml file?

Thanks for help

Hi Ondro,

now I also solved the docker-compose.yml case.

A docker-compose-yml file must look like this to start payara in debug mode:

version: "3.1"
services:


  myapp:
    image: payara/server-full:181
    ports:
      - "8080:8080"
      - "4848:4848"
      - "8181:8181"

      - "9009:9009"
    entrypoint: "/opt/payara41/bin/startInForeground.sh --passwordfile=/opt/pwdfile -d --postbootcommandfile glassfish/domains/domain1"

Thanks a lot for your help.

I think this to options to run payara in debug should be added into the readme.md file  - what do you think?

Hi Ralph,

The "trick" is that the value of the entrypoint is just '/bin/bash'. Then it's followed by the image coordinates and the rest which starts with -c is the value of the exec property.

Hi Ondro,

Is the issue that the entypoint.sh script doesn't pass any variables to the startInForeground.sh script? I need to run the entrypoint.sh script because it runs some scripts to prepare the container before the startInForeground.sh script.

I'll try updating the entrypoint.sh script. If that works then it might be a useful addition?

Hi,

I have created a pull request on the docker-payaraserver-full github project. I think it could be useful for people. The one thing I forgot to do was update the documentation.
