Pull the image, create the container and run it in the background (-d). After the container has stopped it will be removed automatically (--rm). Note that all records are lost when the container is stopped, regardless of whether it is removed or not.

docker run -d --rm -p 8080:8080 alirizasaral/timetracker:1

Build the image with Gradle inside Docker and then copy the JAR file to a smaller layer.

docker build -t timetrackerui .

Create the container and run it in this terminal. This container is also removed automatically when it has stopped.

docker run --rm -p 8081:8081 --add-host host.docker.internal:host-gateway timetrackerui

If a different port should be opened on the host, like 8082, this can be done with -p 8082:8081. The added host host.docker.internal is only required on Linux. Windows and Mac handle htis automatically with Docker Desktop:

docker run --rm -p 8081:8081 timetrackerui

Build and run the app interactively.

./gradlew bootRun

Open http://localhost:8081/ in a browser.

• Java JDK 21 LTS
• Java Spring Boot 3.3.2 as a base (RestClient to use timetracker)
• Thymeleaf as template engine to render HTML on the server
• htmx 2.0.1 to run "AJAX" via HTML attributes
• Pure.css 3.0.0 for minimalistic styling

Htmx and Pure.css are directly included in the repository, but can also be fetched/updated with npm.

npm pack --quiet htmx.org@^2.0.0
tar -xf htmx*.tgz --strip-components 2 -C src/main/resources/static/lib/js package/dist/htmx.js
npm pack --quiet purecss@^3.0.0
tar -xf purecss*.tgz --strip-components 2 -C src/main/resources/static/lib/css package/build/pure.css
tar -xf purecss*.tgz --strip-components 2 -C src/main/resources/static/lib/css package/build/grids-responsive.css

There is a Makefile that is used for general development task. Many of these are more complex or multi-step versions of the ones provided here.
