Problems with the JDK 131 related release about docker-alpine-java

[PraveenSalitra]

@xtremebiker: I am facing the same issues in passing --env variables to the docker run command. The springboot container works fine if I use frolvlad/alpine-oraclejdk8:8.121.13-slim but it ignores --env variables with frolvlad/alpine-oraclejdk8:8.131.11-slim
Were you able to resolve it?

Hi,

I haven't changed much in the images, they have automatically got rebuilt with the latest commit, which only touched README.

I have not experienced any problems with the image in any of my projects. A week or so ago I have updated the base image from Alpine 3.5 to the newly released Alpine 3.6, so it might be the cause of the change in behavior. Can you provide a minimal reproducible example so I can help you?

Cheers!

@salitrapraveen haven't found time still for it. I'm also using Spring Boot and that's the format of my docker files:

Works:

FROM frolvlad/alpine-oraclejdk8:8.121.13-slim
ADD app.jar app.jar
ENTRYPOINT exec java $JAVA_OPTS -Djava.security.egd=file:/dev/./urandom -jar /app.jar

Doesn't pick ENV variables:

FROM frolvlad/alpine-oraclejdk8:8.131.11-slim
ADD app.jar app.jar
ENTRYPOINT exec java $JAVA_OPTS -Djava.security.egd=file:/dev/./urandom -jar /app.jar

Still, I made some tests in my local machine and couldn't reproduce it in a project made from scratch (Spring Initializr). Could be even a problem with the Spring Boot version (I'm using 1.4.4 for my production projects) and that specific JDK version. It might be interesting testing with 1.4.4 and more recent boot versions and the 8.131 jdk image.

I am sorry, but I cannot reproduce the described behaviour on my end:

FROM frolvlad/alpine-oraclejdk8:8.131.11-slim

ENTRYPOINT exec echo $JAVA_OPTS

$ docker build -t qq .
$ docker run -it --rm -e JAVA_OPTS=java-test qq
java-test
