Currently implemented

The way the docker was created is no longer able to build a docker image, because the base image apex/base no longer exists.

Dockerfile Implementation #1

There are two ways the docker files is implemented and the first is that the docker file bases it's image from ONAP/POLICY-JDK-ALPINE:
It's a minimalistic image that has the necessary dependencies to run any policy applications.

Implementation #1

onap/policy-jdk-alpine:2.5.0-SNAPSHOT

Dockerfile Implementation #2

The second way the docker file is implemented it bases the image from OPENSUSE/LEAP:
It's an opensuse image that a policy application runs on.

Implemenation #2

FROM opensuse/leap:15.4

Initial Section of Docker File

In the initial section of the dockerfile bases on the busybox image and has an alias as tarball. It then creates a directory structure /packages and /extracted then it copies the file

apex-pdp-package-full.tar.gz to the /packages directory and then it extracts it to the /extracted directory.

Tar File

The tar file has the following structure.

/bin - contains shell script and bat files.
/etc - contains configuation files for logging, onap policy framework configs, ssl certificates, versioning and more.
/examples - json files, and my first example docker file
/lib - java dependencies

Entrypoints and Commands

The entrypoint the dockerfile for my first example uses apexengine.sh which is inside the apex-pdp-package-full.tar.gz and the commands is inside the MyFirstPolicyConfigFile2StdoutJsonEvent.json file.

Once the user builds the docker image it triggers the ApexMain java file which has to be packaged and copied inside the image file, but currently the apex-pdp project packaging is set as pom so it needs to be changed to jar packaging.
