Running a Spring Boot app from Docker is not working

I have a rather strange problem. I am trying to run a Spring Boot app via docker. So here are my steps.

1) I am creating a Dockerfile.

FROM centos

RUN yum install -y java

VOLUME /tmp
ADD /spring-boot-web-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar myapp.jar
RUN sh -c 'touch /myapp.jar'
ENTRYPOINT [“java","-Djava.security.egd=file:/dev/./urandom","- 
jar","/myapp.jar"]

In this file I am installing java. I am also using the jar file of the app called spring-boot-web-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar

2) The next step is to build an image. So I am typing

tmp theodosiostziomakas$ docker build -t spring-boot-docker .

Screenshot 1

So the image was built correctly.

3) Now I am running that image to generate a container. So

docker run -d -p 8080:8080 spring-boot-docker

Screenshot 2

You can see that a container is generated. But when I type

$ docker ps

the container_id is not visible and when I type localhost:8080 in the browser the app is not running at all. Why is this happening? Any ideas? How to fix it?

If the posted Dockerfile the file you are using then there is a wrong quote sign just before java:

FROM centos

RUN yum install -y java

VOLUME /tmp

ADD /spring-boot-web-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar myapp.jar

RUN sh -c 'touch /myapp.jar'

ENTRYPOINT ["java","-Djava.security.egd=file:/dev/./urandom","-jar","/myapp.jar"]
