[[build-image]]
== Packaging OCI Images
The plugin can create an https://github.com/opencontainers/image-spec[OCI image] using https://buildpacks.io/[Cloud Native Buildpacks].
Images can be built using the `build-image` goal.

The easiest way to get started is 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>{gradle-project-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).



[[build-image-docker-daemon]]
=== Docker Daemon
The `build-image` goal requires access to a Docker daemon.
By default, it will communicate with a Docker daemon over a local connection.
This works with https://docs.docker.com/install/[Docker Engine] on all supported platforms without configuration.

Environment variables can be set to configure the `build-image` goal to use the https://minikube.sigs.k8s.io/docs/tasks/docker_daemon/[Docker daemon provided by minikube].
The following table shows the environment variables and their values:

|===
| Environment variable | Description

| DOCKER_HOST
| URL containing the host and port for the Docker daemon - e.g. `tcp://192.168.99.100:2376`

| DOCKER_TLS_VERIFY
| Enable secure HTTPS protocol when set to `1` (optional)

| DOCKER_CERT_PATH
| Path to certificate and key files for HTTPS (required if `DOCKER_TLS_VERIFY=1`, ignored otherwise)
|===

On Linux and macOS, these environment variables can be set using the command `eval $(minikube docker-env)` after minikube has been started.



[[build-image-customization]]
=== Image Customizations
The plugin invokes a {buildpacks-reference}/concepts/components/builder/[builder] to orchestrate the generation of an image.
The builder includes multiple {buildpacks-reference}/concepts/components/buildpack[buildpacks] that can inspect the application to influence the generated image.
By default, the plugin chooses a builder image.
The name of the generated image is deduced from project properties.

The `image` parameter allows configuration of the builder and how it should operate on the project.
The following table summarizes the available parameters and their default values:

|===
| Parameter | Description | User property | Default value

| `builder`
| Name of the Builder image to use.
| `spring-boot.build-image.builder`
| `gcr.io/paketo-buildpacks/builder:base-platform-api-0.3`

| `runImage`
| Name of the run image to use.
| `spring-boot.build-image.runImage`
| No default value, indicating the run image specified in Builder metadata should be used.

| `name`
| {spring-boot-api}/buildpack/platform/docker/type/ImageReference.html#of-java.lang.String-[Image name] for the generated image.
| `spring-boot.build-image.imageName`
| `docker.io/library/${project.artifactId}:${project.version}`

| `pullPolicy`
| {spring-boot-api}/buildpack/platform/build/PullPolicy.html[Policy] used to determine when to pull the builder and run images from the registry.
Acceptable values are `ALWAYS`, `NEVER`, and `IF_NOT_PRESENT`.
| `spring-boot.build-image.pullPolicy`
| `ALWAYS`

| `env`
| Environment variables that should be passed to the builder.
|
|

| `cleanCache`
| Whether to clean the cache before building.
|
| `false`

| `verboseLogging`
| Enables verbose logging of builder operations.
|
| `false`
|===

[[build-image-examples]]
=== Examples



[[build-image-example-custom-image-builder]]
==== Custom Image Builder
If you need to customize the builder used to create the image or the run image used to launch the built image, configure the plugin 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>{gradle-project-version}</version>
					<configuration>
						<image>
							<builder>mine/java-cnb-builder</builder>
							<runImage>mine/java-cnb-run</runImage>
						</image>
					</configuration>
				</plugin>
			</plugins>
		</build>
	</project>
----

This configuration will use a builder image with the name `mine/java-cnb-builder` and the tag `latest`, and the run image named `mine/java-cnb-run` and the tag `latest`.

The builder and run image can be specified on the command line as well, as shown in this example:

[indent=0]
----
	$ mvn spring-boot:build-image -Dspring-boot.build-image.builder=mine/java-cnb-builder -Dspring-boot.build-image.runImage=mine/java-cnb-run
----



[[build-image-example-builder-configuration]]
==== Builder Configuration
If the builder exposes configuration options using environment variables, those can be set using the `env` attributes.

The following example assumes that the default builder recognizes a `BP_JVM_VERSION` property.
This property is typically used to customize the JDK version the image should use by specifying the major version and a wildcard for the rest of the version:

[source,xml,indent=0,subs="verbatim,attributes"]
----
	<project>
		<build>
			<plugins>
				<plugin>
					<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
					<artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
					<version>{gradle-project-version}</version>
					<configuration>
						<image>
							<env>
								<BP_JVM_VERSION>8.*</BP_JVM_VERSION>
							</env>
						</image>
					</configuration>
				</plugin>
			</plugins>
		</build>
	</project>
----

If there is a network proxy between the Docker daemon the builder runs in and network locations that buildpacks download artifacts from, you will need to configure the builder to use the proxy.
When using the default builder, this can be accomplished by setting the `HTTPS_PROXY` and/or `HTTP_PROXY` environment variables as show 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>{gradle-project-version}</version>
					<configuration>
						<image>
							<env>
								<HTTP_PROXY>http://proxy.example.com</HTTP_PROXY>
								<HTTPS_PROXY>https://proxy.example.com</HTTPS_PROXY>
							</env>
						</image>
					</configuration>
				</plugin>
			</plugins>
		</build>
	</project>
----



[[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>{gradle-project-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 tag so `latest` is used.
It is possible to specify a tag as well, either using `${project.version}`, any property available in the build or a hardcoded version.

The image name can be specified on the command line as well, as shown in this example:

[indent=0]
----
	$ mvn spring-boot:build-image -Dspring-boot.build-image.imageName=example.com/library/my-app:v1
----
