JHipster: run production profile on localhost-CodePudding

I am new to JHipster and I found it is easy to generate a application without sweat. I tried to generate a simple monolithic application and ran on dev mode and it worked like charm. However, when I want to run production mode using "./mvnw -Pprod" it shows error:

These are my choices when I generating application in case you need it:

I didn't edit or change any coding so far because I want to see the difference of dev and prod. And I did searched on other posts but still not success to run on prod mode.. Any form of help is appreciated. Thanks!

CodePudding user response：

You chose to use JHipster registry to serve configuration and to scale up, so when you run your app in production mode you must start jhipster-registry application and also make sure you have copied the application properties to the registry repository (either git or a directory).

Same thing for all dependencies on external systems like your MySQL database.

Easiest way to start them in local development environment is to use docker-compose, see official doc for details: https://www.jhipster.tech/docker-compose/

If you want only to build your app (not running it) using prod profile, you can do it without external systems, you just need to specify the package goal: mvnw -Pprod package

CodePudding user response：

Ok, so I just post here for other begineers or my future reference (only run for localhost, not cloud). Running dev mode is easy, just use mvnw after generating application. However, for prod mode, there are 2 ways to start:

First way (when you choose to use JHipster Registry):

after generating application, ./mvnw package -Pprod verify jib:dockerBuild or ./mvnw -Pprod package verify jib:dockerBuild --offline
run another console/terminal, docker-compose -f src/main/docker/app.yml up, it will run all required services (database, JHipster Registry ,etc)
run ./mvnw -Pprod , the application should be running successfully.

Second way (not choosing JHipster Registry):

just run docker-compose -f src/main/docker/mysql.yml up instead of ./mvnw -Pprod, it will automatically run the application successfully.

*NOTE: the mysql inside docker-compose -f src/main/docker/mysql.yml up can be changed depends on your chosen database.

Also, I did not connect to any external database.
