Current Implementation

Proposal: Support Multiple JDK Versions

https://github.com/DSpace-Labs/DSpace-Docker-Images/issues/57

Per the DevMtg 2018-09-26, we will override/optimize the Docker images for development purposes.

• Localhost restriction for SOLR will be removed
• SSL requirement for the rest service will be removed

Implementation Notes

• Can we place multiple Dockerfiles into separate directories?
  
  • When building from the command line, it is possible to build with a Dockerfile in a subdirectory.
  • Unfortunately, the automated build process on Docker Hub changes the context directory for the build and cannot find necessary resources if the Dockerfile does not live in the root directory.
  • Solution: create multiple Dockerfiles in the root directory with meaningful names.
• We can create contextual README files for each release.  
  • Unless we move the Dockerfiles to a subdirectory, we cannot change the README that displays in Docker Hub.
  • Solution: I have added a note to the main DSpace README file (see the PR above)
