Deprecation Note

[!IMPORTANT] This project has been deprecated and is no longer under active development.

Use Eclipse JKube instead.

This project has been rebranded to https://github.com/eclipse-jkube/jkube.

The Fabric8 Maven Plugin is no longer supported.

All new features and support can be requested in the Eclipse JKube project.

fabric8-maven-plugin

Introduction

This Maven plugin is a one-stop-shop for building and deploying Java applications for Docker, Kubernetes and OpenShift. It brings your Java applications on to Kubernetes and OpenShift. It provides a tight integration into maven and benefits from the build configuration already provided. It focuses on three tasks:

Building Docker images
Creating OpenShift and Kubernetes resources
Deploy application on Kubernetes and OpenShift

Usage

To enable fabric8 maven plugin on your project just add this to the plugins sections of your pom.xml:

      <plugin>
        <groupId>io.fabric8</groupId>
        <artifactId>fabric8-maven-plugin</artifactId>
        <version>${fmp.version}</version>
      </plugin>

Want to get started fast? Check out the Blogpost for Getting Started with Fabric8 Maven Plugin.

The full documentation can be found in the User Manual [PDF]. It supports the following goals:

Goal	Description
`fabric8:resource`	Create Kubernetes and OpenShift resource descriptors
`fabric8:build`	Build Docker images
`fabric8:push`	Push Docker images to a registry
`fabric8:deploy`	Deploy Kubernetes / OpenShift resource objects to a cluster
`fabric8:watch`	Watch for doing rebuilds and restarts

Features

Includes docker-maven-plugin for dealing with Docker images and hence inherits its flexible and powerful configuration.
Supports both Kubernetes and OpenShift descriptors
OpenShift Docker builds with a binary source (as an alternative to a direct image build against a Docker daemon)
Various configuration styles:
- Zero Configuration for a quick ramp-up where opinionated defaults will be pre-selected.
- Inline Configuration within the plugin configuration in an XML syntax.
- External Configuration templates of the real deployment descriptors which are enriched by the plugin.
Flexible customization:
- Generators analyze the Maven build and generated automatic Docker image configurations for certain systems (spring-boot, plain java, karaf ...)
- Enrichers extend the Kubernetes / OpenShift resource descriptors by extra information like SCM labels and can add default objects like Services.
- Generators and Enrichers can be individually configured and combined into profiles

fabric8-maven-plugin 3 vs. 2

This is a complete rewrite of the former fabric8-maven plugin. It does not share the same configuration syntax, but migration should be straight forward - please use the fabric8:migrate goal from 2.x of the plugin.
