Building A Quarkus Native Image Using GraalVM, Dockerize, And Deploy It on Top of Openshift Platform

30 Jul , 2019 No Comments

Right now we are going to talk about Quarkus. According to its website, Quarkus tailors your application for GraalVM and HotSpot. Which will provide an amazingly fast boot time, incredibly low RSS memory (not just heap size!) offering near instant scale up and high density memory utilization in container orchestration platforms like Kubernetes.

Let’s start with a simple maven file, 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

         xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

And a simple java hello-world rest api endpoint,

package com.edw;

import javax.ws.rs.GET;
import javax.ws.rs.Path;
import javax.ws.rs.Produces;
import javax.ws.rs.core.MediaType;

@Path("/")
public class IndexController {
    @GET
    @Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
    public String hello() {
        return "{\"Hello World\":\"Using Quarkus\"}";
    }
}

Next is downloading GraalVM to compile our java code to a native, we can download it here

https://github.com/oracle/graal/releases?

For this blog, im using below version,

graalvm-ce-19.1.1

Next is extracting our graal download and putting it on our JVM runtime. Im using MacOS, so im using below command

sudo mv Downloads/graalvm-ce-19.1.1 /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines

In order to create a native docker image using GraalVM, we need to install a specific component using below command,

/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/graalvm-ce-19.1.1/Contents/Home/bin/gu install native-image

After we install both GraalVM and its Native Image component, set JDK path to GraalVM and use below maven command to build our app into native apps,

mvn package -Pnative -Dnative-image.docker-build=true

And we can see the result of our maven build on target folder. Depends on our operating system, we can run our maven build generated file directly using below command

./com.edw.quercus-1.0.0-runner

Next is create a Dockerfile to dockerize our executable file

FROM registry.access.redhat.com/ubi8/ubi-minimal
WORKDIR /work/
COPY target/*-runner /work/application
RUN chmod 775 /work
EXPOSE 8080
CMD ["./application", "-Dquarkus.http.host=0.0.0.0"]

And run below command,

docker build -t my-quarkus .

To validate our build, we can use below command

docker images | grep my-quarkus

If our docker creation is success, it will shows below output.

REPOSITORY                   TAG                 IMAGE ID            CREATED             SIZE
my-quarkus                   latest              35108d40afdb        24 seconds ago      110MB

We can test running it by using this command,

docker run -p 8080:8080 my-quarkus

And test it by opening browser directly or using curl

curl -v http://localhost:8080/

Once we convince that our dockerized quarkus app runs perfectly, next step is to tag it and push it to, either directly to openshift registry or to dockerhub. The easiest way would be directly, but sometimes we dont have the admin privilege to access registry so on this tutorial we’ll try to push it to dockerhub and then pull the docker image from openshift.

Make sure to create an account on docker hub (https://hub.docker.com/), and input the credentials on your local environment

docker login

After that, you can tag and push corresponding docker images to docker hub using below command,

docker tag my-quarkus edwinkun/my-quarkus
docker push edwinkun/my-quarkus

If push is success, you can see your docker image on docker hub

We can pull on Openshift using “Deploy Image” option,

Select your project, and put your dockerhub image tag

And deploy it afterward, after successfully deployed it will shows pod like this,

Have fun (Y)

Creating a Simple SpringBoot App and Deploy it on Top of Openshift in Less than Two Minutes

22 Jul , 2019 No Comments

Today im trying to demonstrate how easy and fast to deploy a Spring Boot application on ton of Openshift Platform. But before we go too far, let us familiarize ourself with Openshift. Openshift is a Red Hat product which is a leading hybrid cloud, enterprise Kubernetes application platform. It lets you easily and quickly build, develop, and deploy in nearly any infrastructure, public or private. Whether it’s on-premise, in a public cloud, or hosted.

For this scenario, im trying to deploy a hello world apps which are build using Spring Boot. It only consist of 2 java class, and a configuration file (maven). Below is my main java class.

package com.edw.test.demo;

import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;

@SpringBootApplication
public class DemoApplication {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(DemoApplication.class, args);
    }

}

And below is the java class im using for controller,

package com.edw.test.demo;

import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.GetMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController;

import java.util.HashMap;

@RestController
public class IndexController {
    @GetMapping("/")
    public HashMap get() {
        return new HashMap(){{
            put("Message", "Hello World");
        }};
    }
}

And my pom.xml file,

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
         xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
    <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>

        <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-parent</artifactId>
        <version>2.1.6.RELEASE</version>
        <relativePath/> <!-- lookup parent from repository -->
    </parent>
    <groupId>com.edw.test</groupId>
    <artifactId>demo</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.1</version>
    <name>demo</name>
    <description>Demo project for Spring Boot</description>

    <properties>
        <java.version>1.8</java.version>
    </properties>

    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-boot-starter</artifactId>
        </dependency>

        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
        </dependency>


        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-test</artifactId>
            <scope>test</scope>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>

    <build>
        <plugins>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
                <artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
            </plugin>
        </plugins>
    </build>
</project>

After everything runs well on your local, lets put those code online by using Github. Once published to Github, remember to copy your github’s project url. We shall need it later.

First thing to do after creating your code is creating your free Openshift account, you can login to it with your RedHat Developer account. Next is opening your Openshift web console, and click “create project” button and insert its name,

Click on project and choose “Browse Catalog”,

And chose RedHat Open JDK 8, and create application

And below is perhaps the most important feature, that is inserting your github url on Openshift. So that it can take your code and build it accordingly. And dont forget to checklist “Create Route”.

Once application is successfully created, it will shows logs as shown below and also it will show list of pods and its status,

Next is checking where is our route,

Clicking on it will show to the index page of our SpringBoot app,

Have fun using Openshift (^)
