This repository is a fork of the js-docker repository that has been updated to include support for building, configuring, and running JasperReports Server (Community Edition), PostgreSQL and pgAdmin in containers.

Getting Started

Clone the project

Change the current working directory to the location where you want the cloned directory to be:

cd ~/workspace

Clone the project by running the following command:

git clone git@github.com:Robinyo/js-docker.git
cd js-docker

Download the Community Edition of JasperReports Server version 7.5.0 from SourceForge and place it in the resources directory.

Then run the following commands:

cd resources
chmod 755 unpackWARInstaller-ce.sh
./unpackWARInstaller-ce.sh

Download the ARM 64-bit version of PhantomJS from GitHub and place it in the resources directory.
Alternatively, download the AMD 64-bit version of PhantomJS from the PhantomJS website and place it in the resources directory.

Download the PostgreSQL JDBC driver version 42.7.13 from the PostgreSQL website and place it in the resources directory.

Note: If you choose to use a different configuration, you will need to update the project's .env and jasperreports-server.env files.

Build the project

To build the project:

# cd ~/workspace/js-docker

docker system prune && \
docker container prune && docker volume prune && docker network prune

export DOCKER_DEFAULT_PLATFORM=linux/arm64
# export DOCKER_DEFAULT_PLATFORM=windows/amd64

docker compose build

Serve the applications

To run a multi-container application with the Docker CLI, you use the docker compose up command. This command uses the project's docker-compose.yml file to deploy a multi-container application:

docker compose up -d

Note: The JasperReports Server, PostgreSQL and pgAdmin containers may take a minute or two to startup.

Navigate to the JasperReports Server welcome page: http://localhost:11001/jasperserver

You can login using the following credentials:

• JasperReports Admin User - User ID: jasperadmin and Password: jasperadmin
• Sample User - User ID: joeuser and Password: joeuser

To stop the services:

docker compose stop

To remove the services and the associated data, run:

docker compose down -v

Note: The -v flag deletes all volumes, including process data, users, and other persisted state. Omit -v if you want to keep your data.

To check the environment variables inside your container:

docker inspect -f \
  '{{range $index, $value := .Config.Env}}{{println $value}}{{end}}' \
  jasperreports-server

You can check the status of the containers using the following command:

docker compose ps

To check the logs inside a container:

docker container logs jasperreports-server
docker container logs jasperreports-server-cmdline
docker container logs postgres
docker container logs pgadmin
