[[build-image]]
== Packaging OCI Images

The plugin can create https://github.com/opencontainers/image-spec[OCI images] using a https://buildpacks.io/[buildpack].
Images can be built using the `build-image` goal and a local Docker installation.

The easiest way to get started is to to invoke `mvn spring-boot:build-image` on a project.
It is possible to automate the creation of an image whenever the `package` phase is invoked, as shown in the following example:

[source,xml,indent=0,subs="verbatim,attributes"]
----
	<build>
		<plugins>
			<plugin>
				<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
				<artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
				<version>{version}</version>
				<executions>
					<execution>
						<goals>
							<goal>build-image</goal>
						</goals>
					</execution>
				</executions>
			</plugin>
		</plugins>
	</build>
----

TIP: While the buildpack runs from an <<repackage,executable archive>>, it is not necessary to execute the `repackage` goal first as the executable archive is created automatically if necessary.
When the `build-image` repackages the application, it applies the same settings as the `repackage` goal would, i.e. dependencies can be excluded using one of the exclude options, and Devtools is automatically excluded by default (you can control that using the `excludeDevtools` property).

By default, the image is built using the `cloudfoundry/cnb:0.0.43-bionic` builder and its name is deduced from the `artifactId` of the project.
Both these settings can be tuned via configuration, see <<build-image-example-custom-image-builder,custom image builder>> and <<build-image-example-custom-image-name,custom image name>>.

=== Examples

[[build-image-example-custom-image-builder]]
==== Custom Image Builder
If you need to customize the builder used to create the image, configure yours as shown in the following example:

[source,xml,indent=0,subs="verbatim,attributes"]
----
	<project>
		<build>
			<plugins>
				<plugin>
					<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
					<artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
					<version>{version}</version>
					<configuration>
						<image>
							<builder>mine/java-cnb-builder</builder>
						</image>
					</configuration>
				</plugin>
			</plugins>
		</build>
	</project>
----

This configuration will use the `latest` version of the `mine/java-cnb-builder` builder.



[[build-image-example-custom-image-name]]
==== Custom Image Name
By default, the image name is inferred from the `artifactId` and the `version` of the project, something like `docker.io/library/${project.artifactId}:{project.version}`.
You can take control over the name, as shown in the following example:

[source,xml,indent=0,subs="verbatim,attributes"]
----
	<project>
		<build>
			<plugins>
				<plugin>
					<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
					<artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
					<version>{version}</version>
					<configuration>
						<image>
							<name>example.com/library/${project.artifactId}</name>
						</image>
					</configuration>
				</plugin>
			</plugins>
		</build>
	</project>
----

Note that this configuration does not provide an explicit version so `latest` is used.
It is possible to specify a version as well, either using `${project.version}`, any property available in the build or an hardcoded version.
