That would be great, I can totally see deploying management servers as containers. There may be a few things like attempts to mount NFS secondary storage that may not work but we can look at those.
The main hurdle I have with the existing Dockerfile is that it builds in the entire maven cache, MySQL, and keeps all of the build tools. This makes it very large in size and not ideal for and external MySQL. I think with multi stage builds we can have something similar to an RPM style packaging where we just install the necessary files. I’ll play with that and maybe come up with a PR. I do you know what is up with the Marvin artifact publishing? Did it move or do we not have a source for that?
