How install java to ubuntu on docker?

I tried use docker. I install tool docker and run. I dovnload ubuntu image and run on docker. I make all by this link

For install ubuntu I used docker run -it ubuntu bash

After that I run this ubuntu docker run -i -t ubuntu:latest /bin/bash

After start I placed root@9bca9a2a537d:/#

Now I want install java and start some app on this java.

I tried install java root@cf50a6fdfc10:/# apt-get install default-jre

When this installed i try run this command java -version and I see 

root@2e62f448f783:/# java -version
openjdk version "1.8.0_91"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_91-8u91-b14-0ubuntu4~16.04.1-b14)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.91-b14, mixed mode)

after that i exit from ubuntu

root@2e62f448f783:/# exit

and run again. And when ubuntu started i try 

root@20cefe55e2eb:/# java -version
bash: java: command not found

How can I install java or start this java version?

Here's how to create Ubuntu Docker image and container with Java from the OpenJDK.

First of all, you need to create an empty directory containing a file named Dockerfile with the following the content:

# Use Ubuntu as the base image
FROM ubuntu:latest

# Update Ubuntu packages
RUN apt-get update -y

# set JAVA_VERSION
ARG JAVA_VERSION=openjdk-19-jre-headless

# Install Java
RUN apt-get install -y $JAVA_VERSION

# Setup JAVA_HOME
ENV JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-19-openjdk-amd64

# Set entry point to show Java version and environment variable $JAVA_HOME
ENTRYPOINT ["/bin/bash", "-c", "java --version && echo -n JAVA_HOME= && printenv JAVA_HOME"]

In the directory where the Dockerfile is located, build a container named ubuntu-java19 with the command:

docker build . -t ubuntu-java19

Run the container

% docker run ubuntu-java19 
# Out:                    
# openjdk 19.0.2 2023-01-17
# OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 19.0.2+7-Ubuntu-0ubuntu322.04)
# OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 19.0.2+7-Ubuntu-0ubuntu322.04, mixed mode, sharing)
# JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-19-openjdk-amd64

I used openjdk-19-jre-headless as an ARG (variable available during the build process).

To see other available OpenJDK Java packages you can run apt list -a openjdk* inside the Docker container.

% docker run -it --entrypoint /bin/sh  ubuntu-java19

and inside the container issue the command:

# apt list -a openjdk*

To get list of all available openjdk Java versions use:

apt-cache search openjdk

As paulscott56 said, you can add those lines in your Dockerfile: 

RUN apt-get update && \
    DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive \
    apt-get -y install default-jre-headless && \
    apt-get clean && \
    rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

The container is a single contained entity. All changes that you make to it are essentially lost when you quit and restart it. There are 2 solutions to his though:

  1. Do it properly, and add java to a RUN apt-get line in your Dockerfile, OR
  2. (Bad bad bad) Add it and hope your host never goes down.

Depending on what you want (Ubuntu or a container to run a Java app), you should either use the method in 1. or create a new Dockerfile that grabs FROM Java8 base image.

why not use the official Java images, or the alpine Java, and just put in your Dockerfile

FROM java

or

FROM anapsix/alpine-java

? You have a functional Java installed and can do whatever you want.

See

http://hub.docker.com/search/?isAutomated=0&isOfficial=0&page=1&pullCount=0&q=java&starCount=0

for some Java from the docker hub

You should read the good links provided by jonrsharpe

You will have to commit the updated Image after installing Ubuntu.Try the following after installing java on the running container :

docker ps -l #get current container ID , let's sat it is "container_id"

Then :

docker commit container_id ubuntu_with_java

It would create a new Image with name "ubuntu_with_java" .
