ansible-bender VS initializr

(For container images, you'd probably be interested in https://github.com/ansible-community/ansible-bender )

Base images NEEDS to have Python installed. You can do this during runs by turning off gather_facts and installing it during playbook run.

You should definitely look at the absible-bender project. Basically it's Ansible + Buildah.

Ok great. I can totally see that this was a lot of work. I am busy with this now for around a year or so and get my stuff automated step by step, but there is a lot left. But then again I am not doing this exclusively as there are many other interesting things to learn and to improve. Just recently I added docker to the mix instead of only using lxc and now I am in the process of switching to podman and buildah. Check it out, it is really great and you can easily build your own containers with Ansible. ansible-bender

The best way, for generating a ready-to-run application in Java you can use the Spring Boot Initializr tool.

curl --location 'https://start.spring.io/starter.zip?type=maven-project&language=java&bootVersion=3.2.2&baseDir=ms-xcoffee&groupId=com.xcoffee&artifactId=ms-xcoffee&name=ms-xcoffee&description=Demo%20project%20for%20Spring%20Boot&packageName=com.xcoffee.ms-xcoffee&packaging=jar&javaVersion=21&dependencies=webflux%2Clombok%2Cvalidation' | tar -xzvf -

In this segment we will create a basic Spring boot app from Spring Initializer. Add the below dependencies:

Add the following MongoDB dependencies in your pom.xml or use spring initializer and select the Spring Data MongoDB dependency:

I created all of these applications using start.spring.io's REST API and HTTPie.

An easy way to create the skeleton project is to visit Spring Initializr, I set the Project to Gradle - Groovy, Language to Java, and add Spring Web dependency. Then it's just to generate the project and unpack it.

Create a new Spring Boot application using the Spring Initializr. You can use the web version or the curl command below. Use the default for most of the options. For the dependencies, select web, and okta. For the build tool, select Gradle.

I will start with a simple example of a cloud function, which is the same as a rest endpoint in the classical spring boot web application. You can create a project from your favorite IDE or from Spring Initliazr.
