Oracle JDK Docker Base Images

— Images are built automatically from the latest Oracle Downloads

Docker project maintained by BinaryBabel — Not an official Oracle product release.

Available for Java 7/8, review Docker Hub Tags for all current releases.

Docker Hub Tag (JDK8)	Base Image	JAVA_HOME	Working Dir	~Size
8-alpine -Dockerfile	alpine:latest	/opt/jdk/bin/java/	/srv/	70mb
8-centos -Dockerfile	centos:7	/usr/bin/java/	/srv/	260mb
8-debian -Dockerfile	debian:stable-slim	/opt/jdk/bin/java/	/srv/	100mb

These images are rebuilt when new versions of Java are released, through the use of webhooks provided by the Latestver dependency tracking tool, a BinaryBabel OSS Project.

JDK	Current Version	JDK	Current Version
8		7

NOTE: JDK7 updates are no longer being provided publicly by Oracle.

Usage of Oracle Java is subject to acceptance of Oracle's Binary Code License Agreement (BCLA).

• The environment variable ACCEPT_ORACLE_BCLA must be set. Examples are given below.
• "Creating a Docker image" example explains accepting BCLA as part of a dependent image.
  • BCLA §C describes distributing Oracle Java, "for the sole purpose of running your Programs"
• By using the Java binaries in any manner you are accepting the Oracle BCLA.

Container Usage Examples

The entry-point for each container is the java command, by default.
So additional docker command line options become Java options.

Print Containerized Java Version

docker run --rm -e ACCEPT_ORACLE_BCLA=true binarybabel/jdk:8-alpine -version

Using Compose to run a JAR

docker-compose.yml

version: '2'
services:
  app:
    image: 'binarybabel/jdk:8-alpine'
    environment:
      - ACCEPT_ORACLE_BCLA=true
    volumes:
      - /path/to/some/local/file.jar:/srv/app.jar:ro
    command: [-jar, app.jar]

Creating a Docker image / Redistribution

Dockerfile

FROM binarybabel/jdk:8-alpine

# ------------------------------------------------------
# Accept the Oracle License for all users of this image,
# per Section C of the BCLA, permitting Oracle Java:
#   "(i) ... bundled as part of, and for the
#    sole purpose of running, your Programs"
# ------------------------------------------------------
ENV ACCEPT_ORACLE_BCLA=true

RUN curl http://example.com/some-java-app.tgz | tar xz

CMD ["-jar", "some-java-app/app.jar"]

By accepting the Oracle BCLA in the Dockerfile, users are not required to set the ENV option.
