Issue
I want to convert an application that currently runs with docker to boxfuse.
After the maven build, I have these relevant files:
/target/my-app-shaded.jar
/config-dev.yml
The command to run the jar locally would be simply jar -jar target/my-app-shaded.jar server config-dev.yml
What I could figure out is that boxfuse run target/my-app-shaded.jar runs the jar file, but how do I add the config file and the command line arguments?
Solution
This seems to be a Dropwizard application. In that case you can simply place your configuration under src/main/resources and pass the arguments like this
boxfuse run target/my-app-shaded.jar "-jvm.main.args=server config-dev.yml"
When executing this at the root of your Maven or Gradle project and using the latest Boxfuse Client (you can simply update with boxfuse -u), you can also simplify this to:
boxfuse run "-jvm.main.args=server config-dev.yml"
As Boxfuse will auto-discover the payload.
Also if you name your config file boxfuse.yml you can simply this even further to:
boxfuse run
