Build Information

Build pre-requisites:

• Java 1.8 JDK or newer
• Maven 3.2 or newer

Build execution:

• Set JAVA_HOME environment variable to JDK home
• Run mvn clean package in base directory

A WAR file suitable for deployment on Apache Tomcat is created in webapp/target directory. Rename to pwm.war and copy into tomcat/webapp directory.

Alternatively, an executable JAR file is created in onejar\target. This JAR file is self-contained single executable with embedded Apache Tomcat runtime. To execute use a command similar to:

java -jar pwm-onejar.jar

The executable will show additional options that may be required.

A docker image is created in docker/target as jib-image.tar. You can import this docker image using a command similar to:

docker load --input=jib-image.tar

Create docker container and run using:

docker run -d --name <container name> -p 8443:8443 pwm/pwm-webapp

This will expose the https port to 8443. If you want the configuration to persist to you can also exposed configuration volume of /config using the docker -v option during the container creation and map it to a directory on the docker host or use a docker volume container.
The PWM docker container will place all of it's configuration and runtime data in the /config volume.
