B4J Question Linux Standalone Server Apps (non-ui)

[Jmu5667]

Hello

I currently has some server apps that are built using the standalone packager. The real benefit for my organisation is that if we decide to move from Java19 to Java25 it is very easy to do and causes little effort in updating our bank of servers with the new version of the app. Currently the default platform is windows.

I would like to try this on Linux. My Linux is moderate so I am looking for a very simple guide as to how to do this. My objective is to be able to create a standalone shippable version of a server app that runs on Linux.

BTW, I have searched the forum extensively for this, but here I am.

Regards

John.

In linux you have the benefit of Docker. You can create a docker image which is shippable and works directly as it is (no need for standalone). See my signature (in my contributions) on how to create a docker image of a webapp server. Please note that when I created this I was learning docker and cybersecurity wise it is way far behind than best practices of current level of cybersecurity. (B4J Tutorials)
