Docker Boot - Spring Boot Docker Container Management Made Easy

Hey Spring developers! 👋

I've created a library called Docker Boot that makes Docker container management in Spring Boot applications super easy. If you've ever wanted more control over your Docker containers than Spring Boot Docker Compose offers, this might be interesting for you! I would greatly appreciate it if you could give a star on GitHub. Thank you so much!

What is Docker Boot?

Docker Boot is a Spring Boot starter that provides programmatic control over Docker containers with Spring-native configuration. Think of it as a bridge between Spring Boot and Docker with some extra features.

Key Features

🔄 Flexible Lifecycle Management

docker:
  containers:
    redis:
      lifecycle-mode: START_AND_STOP  # or START_ONLY, NONE

START_AND_STOP: Full container lifecycle management
START_ONLY: Start with app but keep running after shutdown
NONE: Manual control only

📝 Spring-Native Configuration

docker:
  containers:
    postgres:
      enabled: true
      container-name: postgres-dev
      image-name: postgres:14
      ports:
        5432: 5432
      environment:
        POSTGRES_DB: devdb

🎯 Event-Driven Container Management

@Service
public class DockerService {
    private final ApplicationEventPublisher eventPublisher;

    public void startContainer() {
        eventPublisher.publishEvent(
            new DockerContainerEvent(this, Action.START)
        );
    }
}

Why Use Docker Boot?

Advantages over Spring Boot Docker Compose:

Programmatic control through Java API
Event-driven container management
Fine-grained lifecycle control
Deep Spring integration

Perfect for:

Microservices development
Integration testing
Development environments
Production container management

Getting Started

Add dependency:

implementation 'io.github.ddaakk:docker-container-spring-boot-starter:0.2.0'

Configure containers:

docker:
  containers:
    redis:
      enabled: true
      container-name: my-redis
      image-name: redis:latest

Run your app!
