Vanilla installation of Archiva 2.2 (see official stand-alone installation instructions).

The environment variable ARCHIVA_BASE is set to /var/archiva. Config and data directories within are created if missing, or an existing ARCHIVA_BASE may be mounted in from the Docker host.

The environment variable ARCHIVA_CONTEXT_PATH is set to /. If you would like to use this container behind a reverse proxy (e.g. example.org/archiva), you should set ARCHIVA_CONTEXT_PATH to /archiva.

Server listens on 8080, map to whatever you want on the Docker host.

See DockerHub automated build of this Docker image at ninjaben/archiva-docker.

Example usage:

sudo docker run -v ~/existing-archiva-base:/var/archiva -p 8080:8080 -d ninjaben/archiva-docker

You may wish to set up email or do other server config. These things don't live in this Docker image because they might use your own infrastructure and credentials. But you can mount them in when launching a container (it's all under /var/archiva).

For example, this config makes an email resource available in the Jetty container (using gmail's free smpt service). Archiva knows how to find it from there:

/var/archiva/conf/jetty.xml
