Untracable glassfish docker container image or clean installation?

Question

For a customer I need to create a glassfish container, containing the glassfish 5.0 release.

I have been looking for standard glassfish images on docker hub, and other places, but can't manage to find a recent image containing a recent glassfish release. For some reason, I also can't find, glassfish isn't available on dockerhub anymore. Only thing I could find is a reference to glassfish server on dockerhub, but that's also gone for some unclear reason.

Now am I correct to just use a clean docker image and create a new one where I install glassfish myself?

Answer 1

Look into Payara. It's a Glassfish fork/drop-in replacement that's better in most ways, including support.

There is a Payara 5 docker image available right on docker hub:

Answer 2

The Eclipse GlassFish now distributes images on GitHub and also made an attempt to adopt the original DockerHub image, but the PR is still waiting for an attention and is still maintained.
